DIAMOND HEAD Announces New Release Live And Electric, “Helpless” Video/Single Now Playing + Preorders Available!

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.

The first single taken from Live And Electric, “Helpless,” is out 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 fifth fret and singer Sean Harris said, ‘play it at the second 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 The $5.98 EP… in 1987 which introduced it to a whole new set of metal fans.”
