have announced their first album of new

Diamond Head
, the
album features an exciting new talent in singer
Rasmus Bom Andersen.
In 2014 Diamond Head invited London based,
Danish-born Ras to join the band. Together they
completed a European tour, which included
appearances at Hard Rock Hell and Head bangers
Open Air in Germany.
The spark of creativity led the band to start working
on the new album in January 2015. Brian Tatler,
founder of Diamond Head, said: “When we began
talking with Ras about making a new record he said
we should write the songs as a band just like
Diamond Head did at the beginning of our career.

same room, we spark each other off and create
something far bigger than we could have done
individually”.
Brian continued, “Ras has certainly renewed the
energy within the band. I had no interest in doing
another record but after working with Ras on the
European tour that all suddenly changed. I
wanted to make a record with him. He's a
confident singer and he's not trying to fill
anyone’s shoes”.
Brian Tatler joined members of Metallica,
Megadeth, Slayer & Anthrax at the UK's
