Diamond Head – Diamond Head
Diamond Head, the
only way you probably would have known of this band back in the day is if you
were a frequent concertgoer, a metalhead and lived in Europe. The 2010 DVD concert
of the Big Four (Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica) in which the members
of the Big Four came out and performed Diamond
Head’s song “Am I Evil?” gave Diamond Head worldwide exposure in the
mainstream the metal scene. This year they actually released a new studio album
with new vocalist Rasmus Bom Andersen
who joined the band in 2014.
How does Diamond Head’s
new self-titled album stack up with this year’s competition? In my opinion, Diamond
Head is not monumental like other classic albums, but this album has
some great riffs and hooks. They don’t have the big production that more
successful bands do. The band’s sound is refined and un-bloated and their tunes
are pleasant to the ear. Diamond Head
relies on their laurels of good riffs, melody and hooks to create a compelling
listening experience.
Diamond Head is a pretty good metal album that shows that this
band still has relevancy and can write good songs. Definitely give this album a
listen.
