Diamond Head, the New Wave of British Heavy Metal legends will be embarking on a European Tour this October – November 2018.
Following the release of their self-titled new studio album in 2016 the band supported this release with extensive touring of the US, Canada, UK and EU which included festivals like Bang Your Head, Sweden Rock, Stormcrusher, Pyscho- Las Vegas, Leyendes Del Rock, Hard Rock Hell plus shows supporting Saxon.
They have spent much of 2017 writing and preparing material for their next album to be released later this year. The band recently joined the Thrashville Management family under partners Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), Justis Mustaine and Danny Nozell.
Joining them will be Gin Annie who are a hard melodic rock 5-piece from Wolverhampton UK, featuring heavy guitar driven songs whilst maintaining a melodic vocal style, hook-laden choruses and classy melodies. They are based around the nucleus of singer (and cousins), Dave Foster and guitarist, Byron Garbett. With Jack Ryland-Smith on drums.
November 2017 saw a change of line-up to form MKII of the band, with the additional of Brian Green on guitar and Phill ‘Hammer’ Burrows on bass. Their first single – Fallin’ – was released on 9th Feb to wide acclaim, reaching No3 in the HRH Radio charts. They signed to TMR Management in Nov 2017 and are now working on their debut album slated for release in Autumn 2018
Diamond Head were a major influence on bands like Metallica and Megadeth with Metallica covering four Diamond Head songs including the classic ‘Am I Evil?’ Plus ‘Helpless’, ‘The Prince’ and ‘It’s Electric’. With a 40 year career and seven studio albums the band is still going strong and continuing to be creative.
