DIAMOND HEAD veröffentlichen in Kürze ihr “Live And Electric“ getauftes Livealbumund streamen davon heute den zweiten Song `The Messenger`, für den sie einen animierten Clip online gestellt haben. Die Aufnahmen stammen von diversen Spielorten der NWoBHM Truppe.
Bandgründer Brian Tatler erklärt zum Track:
‘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.. 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!”
