@MishuTaste Talk about a winning combination. They're directly between Zep & Met., two of the biggest bands in rock/metal history, yet they've been underrated for so long. They should've been one of the top 5 names in rock. They were no. 1 in my opinion.

@Methrt3 They hit pretty high on the charts with this album, actually.

Safe to say that Diamond Head committed commercial suicide with Borrowed Time. Having said that though, it's an amazing record; slow, gloomy, oppressively dark, a fantastic album

Miming on whistle test!?

Diamond Head suffered from appallingly bad management. I mean, being led by the singer's mum at this level was ridiculously amateurish.
Borrowed Time was a great melodic heavy metal album and reasonably successful but the material on the follow-up Canterbury was a bit too ambitious for the average headbanger to process. The sleeve was shit and pressing fault caused the first run of 20,000 copies to jump.

@ToaJoe They are both good albums IMO.
-
Some of the most gnarliest riff lines that are pre - thrash
-
@littleblitzkrieg A lot of record stores & radio stations will play whatever is popular because they want to MAKE HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY. They are afraid of taking risks because they could lose money. I had to drive about 20 miles to find a record store that sold a Diamond Head album.



The best 'NWOBHM" band that didn't get the credit they deserved.Borrowed time is an absolute classic album ....why didn't they hit the bigtime ?
