Diamond Head were an early New Wave Of British Heavy Metal band who didn't have a massive amount of success, but were hugely influential. One of their biggest fans was Lars Ulrich, and Metallica ended up covering several Diamond Head songs.
Borrowed Time was originally released in 1982. Being such huge influences on Metallica you might expect their sound to be thrashier, but they are very melodic with a '70s vibe. There are also some very progressive songs such as "Don't You Ever Leave Me," and the title track is a NWOBHM classic. Of course "Am I Evil" is the most known track on this CD since it was covered by Metallica.
