Drums.ABOUT
Class, quality, clarity, definition and a “Cut Above.” Like the gemstone itself, Diamond Eye delivers the wow! factor whenever they burst on stage. The West Australian based four piece was forged in 2006 through the vision and song writing partnership of vocalist and guitarists Will Kelly and Greg Fawcett.
With a sound that marries the fist pumping choruses of Kiss and Bon Jovi, with the chest pounding riffs and soaring solos of Metallica and Iron Maiden, Diamond Eye have the full package. Their shows are, quite simply, events. Whether it’s their highly sought after unplugged sets, or the full bombastic live performances with special effect lighting and pyrotechnics, Diamond Eye is everything you want in a live band all meticulously packaged within their own style and uniqueness.
“The combination of American hard rock and European metal tones, delivered in the band’s unique hard-hitting melodic rock style, serves to place Diamond Eye in a hard rock sub-genre of their own creation.” - Xpress Magazine.
‘Stadium Rock Specialists’ Diamond Eye have performed at many of the local festivals including WAMI 2009 - 2010, Minnawarra 2010, and Scorcherfest 2010 and 2012 which has led them to shows with Ex Judas Priest and Yngwie Malmsteen frontman Tim “Ripper” Owens, indie rock leaders End of Fashion, Australian icons The Radiators, east coast bad boys The Poor and modern rockers Electric Mary.
“It’s only a matter of time before these guys are signed and massively popular, so don’t you want to be the one to tell your friends, I told you so?” - Newrocknews43.com
Bare Metal Records 2009 international release ‘Auditory Assault’ compilation saw 25,000 copies distributed to all forms of the U.S Armed Forces featuring the Diamond Eye showstopper ‘Machine’
In 2011, Diamond Eye released their live performance CD/DVD entitled ‘Alive and Kicking’ followed by their first studio release 'Sound Of The Guns,' supported by an East Coast tour and live to air television performance on Perth's Telethon. The title track received a nomination for 2011 WAM 'Song of the Year' and the band was awarded 'Hard Rock Artist Of The Year 2011 by Global Thunda Network.
The band was also regarded highly in the 2012 Bite My Music Global Awards by taking out 3rd place in the Best Rock Act category along with a Song Of The Year nomination for ‘Waiting For Me’ and Will Kelly being nominated for Best Rock Vocalist.
Both ‘Sound of the Guns’ and ‘Alive and Kicking’ also rated #2 and #6 respectively in their categories of worldwide releases by The Rockpit.
“This is an EP that should create the right amount noise through the industry, in preparation for a full length. ‘Sound Of The Guns’ is just a taste of what is to come. Recommended listening: Rating: 9/10” - Black Munk.com
The band returned from Los Angeles in November 2012 after recording our debut full length album with the renowned production team of Grammy Award winning Producer Bob Kulick and engineer/producer extraordinaire Brett Chassen. We are looking at a mid 2013 release for the album.
2013/14 sees international touring on the agenda. And with ongoing airplay in over 30 countries throughout the world already, Diamond Eye is working hard to further cement themselves as an international attraction.
