Diamond Head - Am I Evil? (Recording Session 2020)

Diamond Head - Am I Evil? Lightning To The Nations 2020 recording sessions.
When Diamond Head first released Lightning To The Nations 40 years ago in 1980, few could have predicted the importance it would carry with regards to heavy metal’s new wave and sound. Stacked and packed with riffs, Lightning To The Nations would be one of the prime catalysts for a movement known as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM).
 
Re-imagined, re-recorded and re-born in 2020, Diamond Head’s forthcoming 40-year celebration of their genre-defining debut album is a scintillating shot of fresh metal energy. With Lightning To The Nations 2020 listeners experience not only the rare phenomenon of crisp, fresh and new sounding songs with very little of the obvious original elements altered, they will also be treated to four supreme cover versions… And in prime position stands Metallica’s ‘No Remorse’.
Recorded over several sessions between various locations, from France to band members’ home studios, Lightning To The Nations 2020 central hub was Andersen’s Raw Sound Studios in London. It’s where Brian and Abbz did the guitars in February and March of this year, and then with the COVID-19 chaos striking, Andersen worked on the album between April and July, with Tatler’s watchful ear inspecting final mixes and tweaks in early August before sending off to mastering at Metropolis Studios in London.
This edition of the album sees Diamond Head spreading their wings and creating the heaviest of homages also to Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest and Deep Purple. Lightning To The Nations 2020 (November 27th 2020, Silver Lining Music). Available in multiple formats, special D2C bundles, including a limited edition autographed ‘No Remorse’ poster: smarturl.it/DHLTTN2020

I have to be completely honest here: I'm typically very leery of bands re-recording their classic albums. "Don't f**k with greatness" is how I generally look at it. I listened to LTTN 2020 out of sheer curiosity, though, and was quite impressed. I've been spinning it pretty religiously over the last few days. These songs recorded with the current Diamond Head lineup sound really heavy and brutal. Great job, guys.

I'm just digging that Les Paul.
I really wanna know which year it is and what pickups it has?

[@rawvocals4750]

Should be 1979 Standard model if it was Brian's or 1980 if it was mine. Can't recall. Both should have original pickups in them

[@tonymcnamara9368]

Whose are the pair of 'fat grips ' on the desk?

[@CassusBeli]

They look like the original ones.

[@kiray007]
