NWOBHM legends DIAMOND HEAD have confirmed a number of shows in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The dates coincide with both the Metal Forces and Hard Rock Hell festivals in November/December.

The dates are as follows:

Nov. 18 - An Cruiscin Lan - Cork, Ireland
Nov. 19 - Fibber McGee's Rock Bar - Dublin, Ireland
Nov. 20 - The Spring & Airbrake - Belfast, Northern Ireland
Nov. 21 - The Spirit Store - Dundalk, Ireland

Universal Records last year released a triple CD from DIAMOND HEAD containing remastered versions of "Borrowed Time" (1982),"Canterbury" (1983) and "Live at the Reading Festival". The release also includes some bonus material, some of which had previously been unavailable. This was also the first release of "Borrowed Time" and "Canterbury" on CD in the U.K. The "Reading" set was previously released on Raw Fruit in 1992, but had long since been deleted and was a much sought-after item by DIAMOND HEAD fans.

"Skin on Skin", the latest video from DIAMOND HEAD, can be viewed below. The track comes off the group's new album, "What's In Your Head?", which was released on July 30, 2007. The CD was previously described by the band as "a powerful but varied collection of songs." The album includes the song "Reign Supreme", which is said to be "the heaviest track DIAMOND HEAD have recorded since 'Am I Evil?'"
