As requested, this "SHOULD" be the demo songs for DIAMOND HEAD's planned 4th album "Flight East". Sadly the band were dropped by MCA and when their manager failed to get them a deal at the MIDEM music business convention, the band split and the album was never released. Be prepared for very soft/aorish rock!!. More can be read at their Official Website.

AOR/Soft rock by Diamond Head??? ahhhmmm...
After a a few listens I have to say I am very unsure if it's even DIAMOND HEAD.. I mean it sounds nothing like 'em.
Anyone could confirm this to be DH?
I pretty sure this the voice of Sean Harris. Defently it is....
Yes it's Sean Harris on vocals.
Perhaps Harris attempted a solo career after the breakup, hoping to evade the industry stigma toward Metal and get to quit his day job?
Thanks for responding to my request Strappado.
This is definitely Diamond Head. Sean Harris was never really a heavy metal fan, and made many attempts to move the band away from heavy metal. The influence can be seen as early as the Borrowed Time album, and is most obvious on Canterbury. Even Death & Progress, though heavier than Canterbury, is barely what one call metal. Tatler was the one with the more more traditional NWOBHM influences, and he was the initial primary song writer on their first album.
