The Albums That Changed Our Lives | Diamond Cast 045

This week on Diamond Cast, we dive into the albums that shaped us.From the shimmering rock epics of Hysteria to the raw intensity of Showbiz, and the technical wizardry of Images and Words, we each bring our most formative records to the table—and unpack how they changed us forever.Whether it’s the sound, the message, or the moment it found us, these records lit the fire that keeps us creating today.Plus: updates from the Diamond Black camp, fresh merch on the way, and a huge thank you to our Patreon supporters.Which album changed your life?
