Diamond Head- Lightning to the Nations

Diamond Head- Lightning to the Nations

A pioneer of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Diamond Head was so fucking ahead of their time. While it’s easy to lump them in with other NWOBHM bands, it’s worth noting that they started playing music in 1976, half a decade before most of the other bands reached any sort of prominence. Anyways, enough with that bullshit. This is a heavy metal record. This band has been stated by Metallica to be one of the most influential bands. When fucking Metallica is influenced by you, you have to feel badass. Heavy British vocals over some solid seventies drum beats. Too bad they keep doing reunion shows, because this would be so bad-ass if it only happened once. I guess you can’t win them all. Start with “Am I Evil?” And not only because of the cover that eclipsed the original.
