Brian Tatler, the founding guitarist of Diamond Head, revealed that the influential British metal band will go on hiatus while he focuses on his work with Saxon. In a new interview, Tatler explained that he once expected to continue with both groups, but Saxon's demanding schedule has made that increasingly difficult.
Tatler formed Diamond Head with school friends Sean Harris, Duncan Scott and Colin Kimberley in 1976. Still teenagers, they emerged as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and opened for AC/DC and Iron Maiden while recording their 1980 debut, Lightning to the Nations.
Diamond Head went through several breakups and reunions over the following decades, with Tatler remaining at the center of the band. Its most recent album of new material, The Coffin Train, arrived in 2019, followed by a re-recorded version of Lightning to the Nations in 2020.
For now, Saxon remains Tatler's priority. Diamond Head's future is not over, but after 50 years with the band, its founder is waiting until the right opportunity gives him a reason to bring it back.
