    I never thought you could beat perfection... until I heard this. Utterly breathtaking. How it's not smashed 1m views is beyond me. One of the very few songs that gives me chills. I'm speechless. One of the greatest metal classics of all time, undoubtedly.

    Am I Evil is one of my favourite songs ever but I never got into the original Lightning to the Nations album because I knew Metallica's version first and LTTN actually doesn't sound that good to be honest. But THIS here is how I wanted to sound it in the first place. :) Just amazing!

    I'm blown away! This sounds like a brand new band! You have re-recorded your own song and somehow made it better than the original. A song that was already a timeless masterpiece! Did you guys take a dip in the fountain of youth or something? I mean seriously. How can you sound this good over 40 yrs later? I'm speechless.🤘

    Was introduced to Am I Evil? from Metallica’s cover. And preferred the “heavier” guitar tone that James and Kirk brought to the song. This version I feel captures the essence of the orignal with the influence of the Metallica cover. Badass 🤘🏻

    Priviliged to have seen Diamond Head at Kidderminster Town Hall of all places. As the band are from Stourbridge this was literally down the road for them.
    I would have been 13 or 14 at the time. First ever metal gig for me. I can remember it was very loud and I managed to get a plectrum at the end of the gig. God knows where that is now. Great memories 🤟
