: This version brings a "freshness and attack" to the original 1980 recordings. It captures the youthful energy of the band—who were only 19 or 20 at the time—while utilizing modern production to provide the power they originally lacked the "technique, time, or craftsmanship" to achieve. The Re-Recorded 2020 Version
: This version features founder Brian Tatler and guitarist Andy Abberley providing a "new razor edge" on guitars, with Karl Wilcox and Dean Ashton on rhythm and Rasmus Bom Andersen on vocals.
: Vocalist Sean Harris crafted the dark opening lyrics— "My mother was a witch, she was burned alive" —which were among the most extreme in metal at the time.
Alongside the remaster of the original 1980 tapes, Diamond Head also released a fully version for the 2020 edition of the album.
: The original master tapes were restored and digitized under the supervision of current Diamond Head frontman Rasmus "Ras" Bom Andersen . This process uncovered previously "lost" alternative mixes and supplemented the core track with bonus recordings from the 1980s.
For fans of the Metallica version—which appears on their Ride The Lightning (Deluxe / Remastered) and Garage Inc. collections—the Diamond Head remasters provide essential context for the song's massive influence on thrash metal.
