With a thunderous crunch and genuine ‘in-your-face’ production that places the PA up against your ears, British heavy metal icons Diamond Head are proud to announce the release Live and Electric, a live album that delivers every nuance of that four-letter word thanks to a song selection that covers Diamond Head’s seminal career, and a sound that leaves you breathless in the stalls and smelling the sweat and leather of a classic British Heavy metal night. Live and Electric is set for release on on July 11^th via Silver Lining Music.

The first single taken from Live and Electric, “Helpless”, is released today.  Founding member and lead guitarist Brian Tatler recalls of the song: “In September 1979 the song Helpless began life as a riff I was playing by an obscure punk band. I was playing it at the 5^th fret and singer Sean Harris said ‘play it at the 2^nd fret but play it faster’ and the song took shape. It has always been a powerhouse live and one of the songs that has never left the set list. Metallica covered Helpless on their $5:98 EP in 1987 which introduced it to a whole new set of Metal fans.”
