Diamond Head - The White Album album mp3

This album was heralded a classic and became one of the most influential records of the period. Both Megadeth and Metallica cite Diamond Head as a major influence, with the latter covering five DH tracks over their career. In 1991 Brian and Sean were joined by Karl Wilcox (drums) and Eddie Mooham (Bass), and they began recording their fourth studio album.
Diamond Head are an English heavy metal band formed in 1976 in Stourbridge, England. The band is recognised as one of the leading members of the new wave of British heavy metal movement and is acknowledged by thrash metal bands such as Metallica and Megadeth as an important early influence. Two working class teenagers from Stourbridge created the band in 1976. Brian Tatler & Duncan Scott formed the band with a biscuit tin drum kit and borrowed guitar in Brian's bedroom.
Diamond Head's first album - aka the 'White Album," Lightning to the Nations, or simply "Diamond Head" - is somewhat like the Ark of the Covenant of heavy metal. By unlocking its New Wave of British Heavy Metal secrets, one will discover most all the connecting points between the genre's '70s originators and the ensuing '80s hordes - arguably even more so than via Iron Maiden

But on the White Album, I do definitely remember listening back to it and – once I’d got the guitar solo right and all the keys that change underneath the guitar solo – it just blew me away. Tatler also recalls how he got his particular guitar sound on Am I Evil: There’s a slightly strange sound on the guitar which is a wah-wah – this Morley Power Wah Boost. It was set at a cutting, ‘nasal’ position. It gave it a little more of an ‘evil’ sound, I suppose. Having split up in the mid-80s, Diamond Head reunited sporadically throughout the 90s, before Tatler soldiered on without Harris. To this day Am I Evil remains in the set-list. The Story Behind The Song: Judas Priest's Breaking The Law. Diamond Head: the return of the band who invented Metallica. It's Prog Jim, But Not As We Know It: Diamond Head. Riffs That Shook The World Metallica – Creeping Death.

Notes
Firstpress with neutral white sleeve and white labels, 1000 copies made.Initially simply dubbed as an untitled "Special Limited Edition LP" on flyers which later became the title "The White Album". Shortly after the firstpress a repress of 2000 copies with printed labels followed due to high demand, this time under the band's own "Happy Face Records" label, with the title "Lightning to the Nations", which became the final official title for this album. A professional LP release with remastered sound and full colour sleeve followed by the german label Woolfe Records in 1981. Unfortunately the original master tape got lost after the remastering process, which is why all later pressings were taken from a vinyl source.
Both self released LP versions were signed by band members (ca. 250 copies for each band member), however some copies happen to be dedicated and/or signed by the whole band. Also some copies feature a handwritten track list info on the sleeve and/or labels.
