"Well done to all the bands that have put time and effort into making this happen. It's the first time a bunch of DIAMOND HEAD songs have been covered for an album apart from METALLICA obvs. My favourite is AMBUSH's version of "Canterbury". It's an awesome modern version and a great new arrangement. The singer does it proud. It's so good it makes we want to revive the song for the current DIAMOND HEAD shows as we have not played this live since 1984! I also really like the new versions of "The Prince", "It's Electric", "Streets Of Gold" and "Sweet & Innocent". It's a real success for me, I am very surprised and flattered, for some reason I wasn't expecting this kind of quality" comments DIAMOND HEAD guitarist and founder, Brian Tatler.

The album has been produced and mastered by Bart Gabriel, who except working with acts such as SATAN, CIRITH UNGOL or AVENGER, previously produced RIOT, EXCITER and ANVIL tribute albums. Cover artwork of the album has been painted by Mario Lopez, Guatemalan artist who previously worked with acts such as CRYSTAL VIPER, EVIL INVADERS and TOXIK. "It was truly an interesting project, and it was super exciting to put this album together. Sure, many metal fans immediatelly think of METALLICA when you mention DIAMOND HEAD, but there's so much more out there! They have an amazing back catalog, and they're without a doubt one of the most important bands when it comes to classic heavy metal, and metal in general" says Bart Gabriel.
