Double vinyl LP pressing. WITH a thunderous crunch and genuine 'in-your-face' production that places the PA up against your ears, Diamond Head are proud to present Live and Electric, a live album that delivers every nuance of that four-letter word thanks to a song selection that covers Diamond Head's seminal career, and a sound that leaves you breathless in the stalls and smelling the sweat and leather of a classic British Heavy metal night. Recorded in 2022 on the band's tour with Saxon, Live and Electric takes in performances from Aberdeen, Blackburn, York, Cambridge, Cardiff and Bexhill, creating in the process an unmistakably British energy which is superbly recorded and mixed by Jay Shredder, with singer/frontman Rasmus Bom Andersen mastering. By now, the rock and metal scene knows all about lead guitarist and founding member Brian Tatler, whose riffs have genuinely defined a genre as well as influencing one of the world's biggest-ever rock bands, Metallica, but the contribution of Andersen to these Diamond Head performances is explosive as he bursts with power, presence and personality across the likes of "The Messenger" and "Bones". The seamless way in which old classics such as "The Prince" and newer stormers like "Belly Of The Beast" thunder down the tracks is a testimony to the lock-tight no-nonsense foundation that Paul Gaskin (bass), Andy "Abbz" Abberley (rhythm and lead guitar), and Karl Wilcox on drums add to the alchemy and the balance of respect plus reinvigoration for treasures "It's Electric", "Helpless" and "Am I Evil?" is electrifying. Live and Electric is a true roots representation of Britain's metal communities, and a wonderful live celebration of Diamond Head's distinctly British heavy metal music which feels as fresh, vital, and important now as it ever has before.
