10 Best Rock Covers Of 2020
4. Diamond Head - Immigrant Song
As the oldest band to appear on this list, Diamond Head are surely amongst the most underrated metal bands in history. Forming in 1976, Diamond Head have been cited as key influences for metal royalty such as Metallica and Megadeth, yet have never been able to replicate their fame.
Despite this, Diamond Head have released many albums throughout their history, toured the world and have been able to sustain a fantastic career in the metal industry. Now, Diamond Head have turned back the clock by releasing a 40th anniversary edition of their debut album, ‘Lighting to the Nations’. Included on this remastered and expanded version of the album was a cover of Led Zeppelin’s ‘Immigrant Song’, which proved to be a highlight of the record.
Countless bands have covered Led Zeppelin over the years, with ‘Immigrant Song’ being one of the most popular cover choices. Few bands have been able to give this song the justice it fully deserves, but Diamond Head are most certainly one of them.
