DIAMOND PLATE formed in 2004 in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. DIAMOND PLATE unknowingly arrived at the right time, just as thrash-metal was beginning to make a huge comeback worldwide. Due to the ferocity of their music, coupled with a revived hunger for thrash, DIAMOND PLATE quickly established themselves as one of the top forces in the emerging U.S. thrash metal scene.

Chicago’s Rattlehead focus on the pre-2000 first half of Megadeth’s career, focusing on the deep cuts that you rarely ever hear at Megadeth shows these days.  Featuring members of Beyond Deth and Air Raid.
