THE RETURN OF DIAMOND HEAD (or: KILL 'EM ALL RE-REVISITED)
Gilad Elbom | 10/15/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is sheer perfection: Kill 'Em All all over again, i.e., Diamond Head all over again, i.e., the fastest, tightest, most enthusiastic cross between the very best of NWOBHM and good old American thrash. The hints of early Slayer, particularly evident in the opening notes of the first song, "Sinking the Blade," and the wailing guitars of the brilliant title track, are pure genius. Only four songs here, but they're worth every penny. Endless riffs, crushing solos, unpretentious production, and refreshingly honest vocals make this release an absolute gem."
