BLACK DIAMOND – black diamond – LP

Hard Rock, Heavy Metal – Mustard with Black Splatter – Shadow Kingdom Records

That record, ‘Black Diamond’ remains as a testament to the quality that the band achieved over its relatively short life. Brimming with raw passion, Huber’s soaring and earnest vocals trade off against ripping leads, fast-rocking riffs, and a propulsive drum and rhythm performance. Tracks like ‘Power Ride’ and ‘Metal to Metal’ leave the listener in no doubt as to the band’s hunger and youthful charm.

Sure to appeal to fans of classic bands that pioneered the drive from rock to heavy metal, like BUDGIE, JUDAS PRIEST and WINTERHAWK, the record remains a special artifact from this unique period of US heavy metal history. The group achieved a unique sound of their own that late 70s and early 80s fanatics will quickly appreciate, with the record being packed with blazing highlights and flair.
