Brittiläinen NWOBHM-legenda Diamond Head on tekemässä uusintajulkaisua vuonna 1980 ilmestyneestä albumistaan ”Lightning To The Nations”. Marraskuun 27. päivä Silver Lining Musicin kautta julkaistava ”Lightning To The Nations 2020” sisältää uudelleen tehtyjen alkuperäisten kappaleiden lisäksi neljä coveria, joista Metallican kappaleen ”No Remorse” tulkinta on videoineen kuunneltavissa ja katsottavissa alta. Musiikkivideon on ohjannut Costin Chioreanu.
”I wanted to cover a song from Metallica’s debut album, Kill ’Em All partly because Metallica covered songs from Diamond Head’s debut album Lightning To The Nations and it felt like things have come full-circle to me. None of the band members knew how to play any of the songs from Kill ’Em All and I eventually decided we should all learn ’No Remorse.’ Then when we got into the rehearsal room, we played ’No Remorse’ and immediately it just sounded great; it was very ’Diamond Head’ and it really suited us as a band. Of the four covers we ended up doing, ’No Remorse’ sounded the best straight away. I’ve seen Metallica live over twenty times and they don’t play ’No Remorse’ very often, but it’s always great when they do!”, kertoo yhtyeen perustajajäsen Brian Tatler.
”Of all the four covers, we almost didn’t have to work on ’No Remorse’. We all had to learn the parts, and it’s very difficult to play, but in rehearsal it did sound fantastic and we thought: ’yeah, yeah, it’s gonna be mega.’ It was almost surreal when we did it because it just felt incredibly familiar.”, yhtyeen laulaja Rasmus Bom Andersen jatkaa.
Levy julkaistaan CD Digipakina, taittuvakantisena LP:nä ja digitaalisina formaatteina. Levy on ennakkoon tilattavissa linkistä.
