Description
Reimagined, rerecorded and reborn, Diamond Headrsquos forthcoming 40year celebration of their genredefining debut album Lightning To The Nations is a scintillating shot of fresh metal energy. Taking the material which spawned the groundbreaking New Wave of British Heavy Metal NWOBHM, Diamond Head utilise all their skill, experience and revitalised energy to breathe so much new life into these freshly recorded takes that it feels like experiencing the earth shaking all over again.nbspnbspThe levels of fresh energy in these celebration sessions will blow doors and socks off all who hear them, and the potency of timeless riffage such as ldquoItrsquos Electricrdquo and ldquoThe Princerdquo literally scream at the listener. Founder member, lead guitaristsongsmith Brian Tatler and rhythm guitarist Andy Abberley give the guitars a new razor edge, Karl Wilcox on drums and Dean Ashton on bass are a buoyant bombastic platform, while vocalist Rasmus Bom Andersen brings a brilliant new take on the vocals.nbspnbsp Anderson also produced and mixed the album with a freshness and attack which will thrill fans old and new. As if that wasnrsquot enough, Diamond Head add four covers to the album, Judas Priestrsquos ldquoSinnerrdquo, Led Zeppelinrsquos ldquoImmigrant Songrdquo, Deep Purplersquos ldquoRat Bat Bluerdquo and a stunning take of Metallicarsquos ldquoNo Remorserdquo, which is a tributersquos tribute to the band who openly formed under enormous influence from Diamond Head, and covered several of the songs on Lightning To The Nations, decades ago. Diamond Headrsquos debut was a classic once already it is about to be a stone cold classic once more.
