This week’s Diamond Cast comes straight from the heart — stories from the road, unforgettable moments, and the incredible people who made the Dark Anthems tour so special.
We talk about our favourite venues, how we spend our days off, and the amazing fan gifts that left us speechless — including a one-of-a-kind book created by our supporters.
We also look back on the Dark Anthems EP, share our reactions to hearing it as a finished record for the first time, and discuss what’s next for Diamond Black after an unforgettable run with The Birthday Massacre and Lesbian Bed Death.
