Song: Lightning to the Nations
Album: Lightning to the Nations
Year: 1980
Label: Self Released
Diamond Head's Lightning to the Nation starts off with a rock and roll groove built on the pentatonic scale and slows down to Sean Harris' powerful vocals. Admittedly, this is one of the slower NWOBHM songs, but it's undeniably heavy. Diamond Head would later go on into obscurity, but Lightning to the Nations would be forever immortalized by Metallica's infamous cover of Am I Evil? It's also quite notable that this album was financed and released by themselves on their own Happy Face Records, and only 1000 copies were printed.
