Metallica collaborated with Lou Reed for the concept album Lulu, which was released in 2011. Metallica have recorded cover versions of a number of songs by English group Diamond Head. "Die, Die My Darling" and "Last Caress/Green Hell" are Misfits covers originally written by Glenn Danzig.
The single received much criticism from heavy metal fans claiming that "it wasn't metal enough". The band, though scoffing at these comments, was seen in live concerts playing more hardcore versions of the songs. "Helpless" was covered by heavy metal band Metallica on their 1987 The $5.98 E.P. – Garage Days Re-Revisited EP.
"Am I Evil?" is a song by British heavy metal band Diamond Head. Released on the band's 1980 debut album Lightning to the Nations, it remains the band's signature song. The song was written by lead vocalist Sean Harris and guitarist Brian Tatler and released by Happy Face Records, a label owned by the producer Muff Murfin of The Old Smithy studio of Worcester, England.
However, Diamond Head had not been around for the majority of the previous decade and Metallica had covered both of these songs ("Am I Evil?" was the B-side to "Creeping Death" and "Helpless" appeared on The $5.98 E.P. – Garage Days Re-Revisited), meaning much of the crowd believed that Diamond Head were covering Metallica songs.
The song is about not feeling any remorse or sense of repentance during battle. "Seek & Destroy" was inspired by Diamond Head's "Dead Reckoning" [5] and is the first song Metallica recorded during the Kill 'Em All sessions. [30] Hetfield wrote the main riff in his truck outside a Los Angeles sticker factory where he was working. [5]
By this time, Diamond Head had signed to Silver Lining Records and is now managed by Siren Management. The album entered the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart at number 5, ten places higher than the band's self-titled album. [7] In 2018 Diamond Head did a UK and European tour and then opened for Black Star Riders across Europe in 2019.
It also does not contain one of Diamond Head's most popular songs, "The Prince" (from their 1980 debut, Lightning to the Nations), which features regularly in their lives sets and is one of their more well-known songs since Metallica covered it on their Garage Inc. release.
