Album Review
Diamond Head – “Diamond Head” [Heavy Haiku Album Review]
Diamond Head stuck to the NWOBHM formula and it’s just as fucking awesome now as it was 40 years (Not a typo!) ago.
Diamond Head. Does NWOBHM come to mind when you hear their name? Yes… How about Metallica’s “Am I Evil?” Why, but of course! But if you said they were coming out with a brand new release in 2016 with 11 kick-ass songs I’d say that you’re a fucking genius and should be finding a cure for cancer instead of reading music blogs!
In all seriousness, this might be one of my favorite releases this year. Diamond Head stuck to the NWOBHM formula and it’s just as fucking awesome now as it was 40 years (Not a typo!) ago. Diamond Head is full of catchy parts and the production is clean and punchy, just like all their previous work. They also have a new vocalist, Rasmus Born Anderson, and he compliments their sound perfectly.
