DIAMOND PLATE ANNOUNCE SHOWS WITH MEGADETH

Chicago metal trio DIAMOND PLATE have announced two very special shows with thrash metal legends MEGADETH.

DIAMOND PLATE will be supporting MEGADETH at Artpark in Lewiston, New York on July 15th, and at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana on July 18th.  DIAMOND PLATE have also revealed that they are currently working on the follow-up to their 2013 album, PULSE.

DIAMOND PLATE guitarist KONRAD KUPIEC comments:

"A lot has happened in the past few weeks.  We've blown an RV transmission and had it fixed with a little help from our amazing fans.  We've dealt with a death in the family and grown together as a band.  Above all, we've started writing the new album.  Now, we're beyond excited to announce not one, but two shows with the metal titans Megadeth.  Honored, humbled, and ready to lose our minds as always!"

See DIAMOND PLATE live with MEGADETH at the following shows:

Jul. 15 - Lewiston, NY - Artpark
Jul. 18 - Hammond, IN - The Venue at Horseshoe Casino

DIAMOND PLATE REVEAL NEW ALBUM TITLE AND ARTWORK

Chicago's DIAMOND PLATE have officially revealed that their upcoming new album will be titled PULSE.

The follow-up to DIAMOND PLATE's 2011 debut album, GENERATION WHY?, was recorded with producer NEIL KERNON (JUDAS PRIEST, NEVERMORE, DEICIDE, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD) at Studio Chicago in the band's hometown.  DIAMOND PLATE revealed the album title to fans by posting one letter each day over the last week until the title was complete.

DIAMOND PLATE comments:

"During the months of recording, the album took on a life of its own.  Our goal was to capture the energy of a live band, and working with Neil gave us the freedom to create the music we've always wanted to play.  A straightforward explanation of the title 'PULSE' is that it represents music, or life, in its purest form.  The real meaning behind the album can only be discovered by the person using his/her ears."

The artwork for PULSE was created by artist GUSTAVO SAZES (MORBID ANGEL, ARCH ENEMY, SEPULTURA).

PULSE is due to be released on August 20th in the USA via Century Media/Earache Records and on digital formats in Europe on August 19th.
