It's pretty apparent to frequent visitors to Just Dave's Place that Rosebud and I tend to favor the heavier side of Rock & Roll. We were both Metalheads before Heavy Metal was cool. So for the month of June we will be paying tribute to Heavy Metal. More specific we will be posting shows from the early days off Metal, the bands who were on the front lines battling to bring Heavy Metal to world wide acceptance as a viable musical genre. The first of these posts come from a very important player in the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, Diamond Head. Diamond Head were a huge influence on Metallica & Megadeth and a host of other Power Metal/Thrash Metal innovators of the early 1980's. The bands first independent LP "Lightning To The Nations" is considered a classic by all Metal historians. Metallica have covered 5 of the 7 tracks included on the LP. Diamond Head were unable to obtain the commercial success of their NWOBHM peers and have faded into the underground to occasionally appear at festivals. This recording comes from the tour to promote their second MCA release Canterbury. The album had a more commercial feel than predecessors which made it not very popular with their core fans. Diamond Head were dropped by MCA after Canterbury.
