Rufus Publications is proud to present: Diamond Head The illustrated History.


At the vanguard of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene of the late 1970s, Diamond Head laid the groundwork for countless metal acts to follow.  Known for their powerful riffs, soaring solos, and relentless energy, Diamond Head’s music resonated with fans hungry for a tighter, rawer sound. Their debut album, Lightning to the Nations, is an undisputed classic, boasting tracks like "Am I Evil?", "The Prince," “It’s Electric”, and the proto-thrash of “Helpless”, songs that became essential listening for metal fans and musicians alike. It wasn’t long before Metallica, inspired by Diamond Head’s intensity, covered their songs, cementing the band’s legacy and influence.


Packed with images sourced from the band’s founder and lead guitarist Brian Tatler's personal collection and bound in the classic “The White Album” livery, this photographic journey captures Diamond Head’s raw essence on and off stage. Tatler’s involvement brings a uniquely intimate perspective, showcasing the band's evolution from club venues to international festivals. From rare behind-the-scenes moments to iconic live shots, this collection is a must-have for fans and music lovers wanting to capture the force that is Diamond Head through the lens of those who lived it.


The limited edition, 342 page hardback book measures 310mm x 310mm and comes in a white, vegan leather slipcase with a fold out poster. Only 350 numbered copies are being made and each copy is personally signed by personally signed by founding members Brian Tatler and Duncan Scott. The book costs £99, will ship worldwide and can be pre-ordered from: https://www.rufuspublications.com/rufusbooks/diamondhead

Diamond Head: The Illustrated History sounds like a fascinating and informative book. It’s always interesting to learn how famous landmarks developed over time and what role they played in local culture and history. Just like people enjoy exploring unique experiences such as custom brawl star, readers can discover the rich story behind Diamond Head through detailed illustrations and historical insights.

Noticing that this 342-page limited edition has only 350 copies signed by the founders, it really underscores its collectible nature, much like how a focused experience such as sand trix hinges on scarcity and crafted detail.

The fact that only 350 signed copies exist makes it feel like a hidden treasure, totally different from my usual coffee break distraction of playing a quick puppet hockey game.
