Four decades of hard rocking NWOBHM and still kicking! Yes, they're touring! In the beginning, they were celebrated as the new Led Zeppelin with more meat. But it was eventually Def Leppard, Iron Maiden and Saxon who got the crown while Diamond Head, Angel Witch, Holocaust, Tygers Of Pan Tang and everybody else went on the quest for the perfect riff, igniting the speed metal on the way. Evidence lies in these legendary hard rock releases that further the eternal cause of headbanging! Even the more commercial Canterbury that you are supposed to loathe is excellent. Back to the future with a neck ache!

  1. In my elder state, I tend to look back on a lot of these old UK bangers with a new set of ears and more often than not find myself really appreciating what I hear... Great post

  2. Zer! F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S.
    You did not inmclude Death and Progress (1993). You don't like it? or don't have it?

    Unsure how to take Diamond Head these days without Sean Harris singing.

    Curious to hear if your vinyl copy of Canterbury has a skip in it, as dj Ron Quintana said all original pressings had the screwup.
    Jumpin' Jeehosaphat! How can a giant record label release a record where the needle jumps in the middle of a song!

      I don't have anything other DH release (I always post everything I have). Anybody willing to share (especially the new album) is of course welcome!
