Ever wonder what Diamond Black’s members were doing before the band formed?
This week on Diamond Cast, we look back at the bands that shaped us — from glam-tinged hard rock to 2000s synth-pop to blistering progressive metal. Whether you’ve heard of Night By Night, Star Scream, The Candys, or Control, this episode is full of stories, style shifts, and the sounds that forged who we are today.
We also officially launch our Patreon and YouTube Memberships — find out how you can support the band and get exclusive content, behind-the-scenes access, early releases, and more.
