( email | facebook | twitter ) "Diamond" is unexpected. But coming from Priestbird - originally Tarantula A.D., natch - the horde responsible for Book of Sand (orchestral meets metal meets guybrarian) and for In Your Time (hard rock meets psychedelia meets down-the-block indie), "unexpected" is the norm.
