      Diamond Head’s debut album Lightning To The Nations was a key influence on the heavy metal genre, and Lightning To The Nations (The White Album) [Remastered 2021] is the ultimate version of this ultimate album. The release features not only the original album from ¼ inch master tapes which Lars Ulrich helped Brian Tatler retrieve back in 1990, but also alternative mixes of classic cuts “Lightning To The Nations”, “The Prince”, “Sucking My Love”, “Am I Evil?” and “Sweet And Innocent” never publicly released (or heard) before. The original tapes were first quite literally baked (a process which allows degraded tape to be returned to playable quality), then restored and digitized before Diamond Head frontman Rasmus ‘Ras’ Bom Andersen remastered the tracks. The restored masters are supplemented by a set of bonus tracks originally recorded in 1980s and rounding-out this ultimate edition are a set of deep and detailed notes on both the era and each song by Brian Tatler.

      Lightning To The Nations (The White Album) [Remastered 2021], is available as a double CD, a deluxe 180 gms gatefold triple-vinyl edition containing the original album remastered, the lost mixes and the bonus tracks. The release is additionally available as a single vinyl edition of just the remastered album, also on 180 gms. Also, the complete recordings are available to stream and download.
