Lightning To The Nations 2020, available now at: https://smarturl.it/DHLTTN2020
When Diamond Head first released Lightning To The Nations 40 years ago in 1980, few could have predicted the importance it would carry with regards to heavy metalβs new wave and sound. Stacked and packed with riffs, Lightning To The Nations would be one of the prime catalysts for a movement known as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM).
β
Re-imagined, re-recorded and re-born in 2020, Diamond Headβs forthcoming 40-year celebration of their genre-defining debut album is a scintillating shot of fresh metal energy. With Lightning To The Nations 2020 listeners experience not only the rare phenomenon of crisp, fresh and new sounding songs with very little of the obvious original elements altered, they will also be treated to four supreme cover versionsβ¦ And in prime position stands Metallicaβs βNo Remorseβ.
Recorded over several sessions between various locations, from France to band membersβ home studios, Lightning To The Nations 2020 central hub was Andersenβs Raw Sound Studios in London. Itβs where Brian and Abbz did the guitars in February and March of this year, and then with the COVID-19 chaos striking, Andersen worked on the album between April and July, with Tatlerβs watchful ear inspecting final mixes and tweaks in early August before sending off to mastering at Metropolis Studios in London.
This edition of the album sees Diamond Head spreading their wings and creating the heaviest of homages also to Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest and Deep Purple. Lightning To The Nations 2020 (November 27th 2020, Silver Lining Music). Available in multiple formats, special D2C bundles, including a limited edition autographed βNo Remorseβ poster: https://smarturl.it/DHLTTN2020
