Diamond Head - The Prince (Official Audio)

[@jotallica898]

You may see an empty village brother, but we are lurking in the shadows!! The Prince is my favorite!

[@GARYBLONDER]

Right there at the birth of the NWOBHM, still doin' it and sounding better than ever. Five stars, thumbs up, added to the playlist.

[@angelocrossbones9816]

Im sorry, trivium. But anyone who felt the need to be the new metallica missed a big chunk of the equation, by not appreciating the missing link between black sabbath and tallica, DIAMONDHEAD. Always heard it, but this, now more than ever. Someone said here, FATHER OF METALLICA.

[@ManillaHeep]

I think the bands they covered (Deep Purple, Zeppelin and Priest) were more direct influences on their sound than Sabbath at the time. No disrespect intended to Sabbath, the true fathers of metal.

[@centaurus5676]

The intro lead sounds like late 70's UFO Schenker tone....Love It!

[@robertpottle2887]

I've always thought Brian Tatler's guitar style lies somewhere between Michael Schenker and Jimmy Page. Right in the middle of those two greats.

I put this album on the best of metal list way back in the day when I used to podcast. It sounds even better now.

[@tatendamadzingira3551]

The lyrics on this song are amazing.

[@JulianElliottPhotography]

What's cool is the sound of this. It's been taken right into the 21st century with the heavier sound on it. The vocals are excellent as they too go perfectly in the mix.Hopefully we get unlocked soon as I'd like to photograph the band if they come to France at a festival.

[@chrisgarringer9133]

Holy fucking shit!! New New DH sound!! So Tight ,best shit to happen to 2020

[@UKBornin1971]

This is way ahead of its time🤘🏾

[@michaelnero1550]

At 3:24 they morph into the greatest funk band to then just morph back into an awesome metal band with the greatest bridge /harmony / soulful solo.

[@demondogcustomguitarsandcb6714]

Love it !

[@ThePrincipeShinobi]

I can name two songs inspire by this one, the intro sounds like Trapped under Ice and one of the Riff is the main riff in Crown of Worms. Megadeth and Metallica were not ashamed to show that they loved Diamond Head. Brian is a mean riff Machine 🤟🏾

[@jasonvanderwende3803]

After reading this I went back to Trapped Under Ice..... yes absolutely 21 seconds in heard it right away.... actually knowing the song I could hear it coming 👍👍👍

[@hussle2654]

Also plenty of influence in Hit the Lights, listen to them back to back

[@trentparris1277]

Crown of worms was written by Sean Harris and given to Dave Mustaine to record.

[@robnhood1416]

Well, Sean Harris is in Crown of worms song credit, so its pretty obvious.

[@arnaldo.ls.1954]

Estou viciado neste álbum, ouvi várias vezes no repeat, um dos melhores da história!!

[@tatendamadzingira3551]

The mix on this version is definitely better than the original; the guitars and vocals sound great. But (Please don't shoot me) I like the way the original version was sung more.

[@PHDWhom]

My first encounter with this song was the B-side to ‘One’ on a tape, when cassingles were a thing. So while that one remains definitive for me, I cannot help but acknowledge Diamond Head and Brian Tatler’s amazing songs. Without them, and Sabbath, there would be no Metallica.

[@TheStrick1976]

When I pulled up am I evil to teach it to my fellow guitarist and the new track came up I almost lost it....How killer is it. no words it's off the charts good. Cant say enough good things about them.

[@markcbb]

The genius of Brian Tatler , the man is a riff monster , I was lucky enough to see the band half a dozen times and they were always awesome and had such incredible star quality too. Years later "the White Album" remains the best example of "NWOBHM" there is , absolutely peerless.

[@ssmstudio1476]

[@hinjurock70]

A little too pro-cessed.

[@hinjurock70]

@Nickhead87 I hate digital, but that's the format that 99.9% of bands use these days. Analog sounds so much fuller and warmer, especially for hard rock and metal.

Even Maiden couldn't go this heavy. ;^)

[@tonytendencies4698]

Maiden never tried to be this heavy. That's like saying a Def Leppard song couldn't go as heavy as a Maiden song. Diamondhead and Maiden were completely different sounding bands that wrote stylistically and musically different songs. Both bands were and still are amazing.

[@Armando.Sepulveda]

Mrpositronia btw I think Diamond Head should have been bigger than maiden during the 80's & 90's they would be the successors to both Queen and Led Zeppelin

[@tonytendencies4698]

@@Armando.Sepulveda mmmm, not sure about that. Maiden were much more prolific and consistent at songwriting. In addition to this, Maiden's output of "better, more memorable" music and songs was way ahead of Diamondhead. Diamondhead had some absolutely amazing songs but not enough of them and unfortunately the singer (Sean Harris) was just terrible live.

Love the guitar sound on these tracks. Like to hear what gear was used. If i had to guess i'd say straight boosted Marshals with v30's and an oversized cab? Which might be why i like it so much :D If they are plugins or some modeler i swear i'll hang myself right now. >D

[@kiray007]

Because this was produced in the full lockdown, Ras did it himself with various amps including a Driftwood with a tubescreamer built in, and a Box Of Doom isolation cab.

[@chickenbeek]

@@kiray007 Oh nice. Thanks for replying.\m/\m/

[@kevinsibert3160]

I have no idea what amps or if they're even amps at all but if they're Marshalls, they EQ'd them big time. Way too much thick sizzle for a pure Marshall which gets a little thin at those frequencies.

[@chickenbeek]

@@kevinsibert3160 They easily could have used plugins on this, but as far as i recall he verifiably owns various Marshal heads, 800 dsl, Marshal cabinets, i think Engl. Mostly see him in front of Marshals in pics live though.
