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.
