Lightning To The Nations (The White Album) [Remastered 2021] is the ultimate version of this ultimate album, out via Silver Lining Music on 30th September 2022. The release features not only the original album from ¼ inch master tapes which Lars Ulrich helped Brian Tatler retrieve back in 1990, but also alternative mixes of classic cuts “Lightning To The Nations”, “The Prince”, “Sucking My Love”, “Am I Evil?” and “Sweet And Innocent” never publicly released (or heard) before. There is also brand-new cover artwork based on an idea Brian Tatler had, to show a character referred to as ‘The Lightning God’.
“In 1990 as a celebration of the tenth anniversary of the NWOBHM, Lars Ulrich and Geoff Barton compiled the double album ‘New Wave of British Heavy Metal ‘79 Revisited’ which came out on Phonogram Records. It was Lars who made it his business to track down wherever possible the original master tapes because all he had were the old, often scratched singles,” recalls Brian. “He told me that he would often call up members of the bands they wanted to feature on the album and the confused guy on the other end of the phone would assume it was wind-up. ‘Who? Lars Ulrich? From Metallica? Fuck off!’ When Lars called me, I explained that the original ¼ inch masters for ‘Lightning To The Nations’ hadn’t been seen since they were sent by our old manager to a guy called Horgi at Woolfe Records years back. Apparently Horgi didn’t return the tapes, so Lars dispatched someone from Metallica’s German label to pay the guy a visit… The tapes were duly returned and after Phonogram had finished with them, Lars made sure they came home to me. I still have them stored safely.”
The original tapes were first quite literally baked (a process which allows degraded tape to be returned to playable quality), then restored and digitized before Diamond Head frontman Rasmus ‘Ras’ Bom Andersen remastered the tracks, ending up with a pristine edition of the original recordings and the recently discovered alternative mixes. Pure treasure for all fans of both Diamond Head and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the restored masters are supplemented by a set of bonus tracks originally recorded in 1980s. Rounding-out this ultimate edition are a set of deep and detailed notes on both the era and each song by Brian Tatler.
is available as a double CD, a deluxe 180 gms gatefold triple-vinyl edition containing the original album remastered, the lost mixes and the bonus tracks. The release is additionally available as a single vinyl edition of just the remastered album, also on 180 gms. Also, the complete recordings are available to stream and download.

[@gatofrioxd2657]

I just listened this song with earphones,and I realized that it's an organ there, it sounds very religious or something
Just amazing

[@TaxDodger]

Cliff Burton played the bass on this one 😂 The bass tone is so Kill 'em All

[@roaming740]

yeah because Colin played the same bass, the Rickenbacker 4001

[@EternalxFrost]

​​@@roaming740Cliff wasn't playing the Rick during the demos, he was playing with the Aria.

[@metalzonemt-2]

@@roaming740 Tone doesn't come from the bass, it comes from the amp and the speaker and the possible effects.

[@Nissardpertugiu]

​@@EternalxFrostCliff wasn't on the demos except the megaforce one 1983.
Ron Mcgovney played bass on the demos

[@pyrogian]

considering when this was composed mad riffing

[@Featheon]

This song, as the Metallica cover, got me into thrash metal, punk and black metal all at once. I had never heard drums like this before.

[@ClarkeDurrant]

Brilliant album

[@imadequate3376]

Guys, can you please, please, please put the original 1980 track back on Spotify and TH-cam? The Prince is my favorite song and it just doesn't hit like the 1980 version does in this remaster... I miss that raw sound.

NWOBHM had so many great bands that just never got the recognition. Dark Star is another gem. I listen to Dead Reckoning (ext)everyday at work.

[@JoseMarulandaLists]

what other NWOBHM you recomend i love satan

[@raegandalbo9731]

My favorite band to play the style (and my favorite band ever, period) is easily Maiden but there’s more to the deep cuts than I thought there was

[@dmullinax1000]

I love Dark Star! Lady of Mars is my favorite.

[@Add_Bill]

Today, I was researching the originals of Thrash Metal. Diamond Head is most definitely in the conversation!!! I think DH is the GREAT GRANDFATHER OF THRASH METAL!! And no matter how you classify it (what genre of rock)..it f*ckin' rocks hard!!

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now I see his face, I've seen him smile
Such a lonely place, no golden mile
His eyes tell morbid tales of his black heart
His deeds through ages past tell of his part
[Chorus]
I see his face, I see his smile
Time to die
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
An angel from below, change my dreams
I want for glory's hour, for wealth's esteem
I wish to sell my soul, to be reborn
I wish for earthly riches, don't want no crown of thorns
[Chorus]
I see his face, I see his smile
Time to die
Oh, oh, woah-oh
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I was born a fool, don't want to stay that way
Devil take my soul, with diamonds you repay
I don't care for heaven, don't you look for me to cry
And I will burn in hell from the day I die
[Chorus]
I see his face, I see his smile
Time to die
Oh, oh, woah-oh

[@jeremyporras2818]

Mi canción favorita de diamond head!

For the longest time I thought the versions on Behold The Beginning were the original versions and not some crappy remixes. This mix mops the floor with the remixes.

I don't even listen to Metallica anymore. I am discovering all of these old school bands like Angel Witch and this one. Much better I.M.O.

Whitout Diamond Head Metallica wouldn't exist

[@raegandalbo9731]

I loved this band a while ago when I first loved Metallica. I got into Am I Evil, No Remorse (I know it’s a cover now but I didn’t then), and some other songs I don’t remember now. Listening to their full lengths for the first time, it’s really incredible how much it held up but also how much I missed a while ago

[@fanrail174]

It is remastered original.

[@chromingscanner5719]

Maybe I am so spoiled, but I've always thought that this song is actually about homoerotic romance, especially in Diamond Head version, I still think that

[@roaming740]

i heard its about elric of melinbone

[@OathofthePeachGarden]

It's about Elric of Melnibourne, from what I've seen... previous commenter is probably right. Or it could be a fabricated tale about a guy selling his soul to the devil.

[@alexandremelchior]

the bass lines are awsome! Metallica screwed it all up! kkkk

What's with that awful Dethklok-ish art?

[@briancarr4607]

Didn't you know it resembles the 2023 APPOCALYPSE ?

[@smitty1647]

facebones from deathklok is based on the mascots of old metal bands like dio, megadeth, and motorhead. the only problem with the art is someone couldn't figure out how to loop it properly in the video

[@dmullinax1000]

[@justinnmai8903]

Love diamond head but Metallica's version is better

[@Mavsforlife41]

Nah this is way better

[@ScottyKirk1]

The problem with that early Diamond Head is the production sounds so different than what American metal fans are used to. Not that big heavy bottom end in the production. DH are really great musicians, I just always need to fiddle with the EQ a little bit. This remaster sounds way better than the original early 80s album mixes.

[@LennyVolpicelli-eh1wd]

Oh boy Diamond Head better watch out Lars Ulrich is going to sue them for remaking one of their songs 😂

[@TokusatsuGamingfan]

Diamond Head originally wrote this song, and Metallica covered it dumbass!
