Coffin train

"This album will be divisive. For die hards, it will be tough to swallow. It is not NWOBHM and it certainly is not the successor to 'Lightning ...', but taken in its own right, albeit with enough nods to the roots, this is a fine, well crafted and powerful album. Massive respect to Tatler for sticking to his values and finding a contemporary sound to alloy with his metallic instincts".

"Engang var Diamond Head vist Metallicas yndlingsband. De dansk-amerikanske giganter nævnte ofte Diamond Heads bud på New Wave of British Heavy Metal som en vigtig inspirationskilde, og hædrede dem ved coverversioner og invitation til gæsteoptræden ... Kun guitarist Brian Tatler er stadig med, og han har blandt andet fået selskab af danskfødte Rasmus Bom Andersen på vokalen, så vi igen kan kippe lidt med Dannebrog. Og vi kan faktisk svinge stolt med flaget, for lige netop Andersen gør til tider en fornem figur på `The Coffin Train', der er det ottende album fra Diamond Head. Han har en stærk og hidsig vokal, der løfter bandet et par niveauer i farlighed".

" All in all, it's a testament of a band that has come to acknowledge their place as a pioneering heavy metal band with a specifically defined sound, but also one that isn't afraid to showcase their continued relevancy by amping up their sound to compete with the current crop of modern heavy and power metal bands that have been paraphrasing their style for the past 20 years".
