“‘The Messenger (Live at the Cambridge Corn Exchange)’ Is a very powerful track. It started life in my head when I was watching Cradle of Filth live on the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise” remarks founding member and lead guitarist Brian Tatler. “They played a song with a fantastic groove which reminded me of Tobacco Road by the Nashville Teens. I thought to myself 'that’s brilliant, I will try and come up with a riff for a groove like that' and so I came up with The Messenger riff (everything comes from somewhere). We recorded it for the album The Coffin Train and played it live on the 2022 UK and European tour opening for Saxon. It always sounded good live, even next to classic Diamond Head songs like ‘The Prince’ and ‘In the Heat of the Night’. We recorded all the shows on the UK tour and thought this version at Cambridge was the mightiest. Heavy Metaaaaaaaal!”

With a thunderous crunch and genuine ‘in-your-face’ production that places the PA up against your ears, British heavy metal icons Diamond Head are proud to announce the release 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. Live and Electric is set for release on on July 11th via Silver Lining Music and will be available as a double vinyl, CD, and on digital formats. Pre-order here: http://hyperurl.co/LiveandElectric
