    ..The Line-up.. ..The musicians in Diamond Drive are Troels, Chris, Patrick, Kalle and Anders... ..The essence of energy.. ..Diamond Drive takes influence from the last three decades of rock music within a spectrum from melodic rock to aggressive thrash, anything from Soundgarden to Lamb of God. Each member contributes a mix of creativity and a high standard of musicianship. Diamond Drive gives a powerful and energetic live performance. They produce a tight and exhilarating sound fully engaging the audience. The end result is a pure quality and an aggressive, still positive energy which unites a wide and varied fan base... ..Ambitious and focused.. ..Since the forming of the band back in December 2006 Diamond Drive has managed to tour England four times including London, Brighton and Birmingham. They have performed at several significant venues including "The Marquee", "The Barfly", and at London's infamous venue "The Underworld" to mention a few. The single "Infidels" is featured on the "Metal Hammer" compilation CD of February 09, both of the band's EP's have received 5 stars in Denmarks largest music magazine Gaffa, and the band has been announced band of the week on bandbase.dk - DK's largest music site.

    Reviews:

    "Excellent examples of ethereal and aggressive thrash metal, characterised by a hail of riffs and dynamic solos, sung by the fine voice of Rasmus Kiaer"

The Line-up

The musicians in Diamond Drive are:
Troels, Nikolaj, Patrick, Kalle and Anders.


Aggressive and melodic metal

This is the brief characterization of Diamond Drive, which along with a forceful, energetic and enthralling live-performance marks its potential on today's rock- and metalscene - both nationally and internationally. Since 2006 the band has released three critically acclaimed EP's. Latest work, "Reset-Press-Play" from 2011, was "Demo of the Month" in Denmark's largest music magazine, Gaffa, in March 2011.


The band has toured UK four times. Both London, Brighton and Birmingham have been visited, including venues as "The Under World", "The Barfly" and legendary "The Marquee". "Store Vega", "Vesterbro Festival", "Voxhall" and supporting Life of Agony at "Train" in Aarhus are just a few of the remarkable concerts that Diamond Drive has done throughout the past years.


Diamond Drive's live performance was the main reason that they where among four other finalists in the annual “Wacken Metal Battle 2011”, and a week later won “Randersmesterskaberne i Rock” - a contest for upcoming rockbands in Denmark. Throughout the past year, the band has performed at several festivals including Royal Metal Festival, Aalborg Metal Festival and Midwinter Meltdown - along great acts such as Arch Enemy, Decapitated, Suffocation, Entombed, Mnemic and Evile. .


What to expect?

In the summer of 2012 the band recorded its first full-length album together with producer Jacob Bredahl (The Burning, The Kandidate, Koldborn, etc.), which is why the sound is now even more intense and seducing. The repertoire has developed into a more aggressive and energetic direction without compromising the melodic signature. A lot of work has been invested in the project, which involves a collaboration with some of the best in the music industry, including artwork by Mircea Eftemie (Soilwork, Strapping Young Lad, Nevermore, Threat Signal, etc), mastering by Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Sick of It All, Mnemic, etc.) and photography by Stefan Wessel and Morten Rygaard (Rammstein, Chris Cornell, Timberland, etc).

Right now the band has a european tour set up in September 2013 and is planning a danish tour in the spring of 2013.
