Def Leppard Diamond Star Halos (Vinyl 2LP) * * *

Diamond Star Halos is the first new album from Def Leppard since their chart topping self-titled record in 2015. It features 15 tracks including the anthemic, stadium-ready singles "Kick" and "Fire It Up," with guest vocals from Alison Krauss on "This Guitar" and "Lifeless." The album title references T. Rex's "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" with further nods to David Bowie and Mott The Hoople across the album. To herald the arrival of Diamond Star Halos, the band has released "Kick" – a powerful and rip-roaring new rock single from the album. The artwork design follows pedigree with instantly recognizable album covers from their celebrated past, and follows the band's influence through their eyes today.
