Led Zeppelin III is the third studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 5 October 1970. It was recorded in three locations. Much of the work was done at Headley Grange, a country house, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. Additional sessions were held at Island Studios and Olympic Studios in London. As with the prior album, the band eschewed the use of guest musicians, with all music performed by band members Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitars), John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards), and John Bonham (drums). The range of instruments played by the band was greatly enhanced on this album, with Jones especially emerging as a multi-instrumentalist, playing a wide range of keyboard and stringed instruments, including various synthesizers, mandolin and double bass, in addition to his usual bass guitar. As with prior albums, Page served as producer on the album, with mixing done by Andy Johns and Terry Manning.

Diamond Head – Lightning to the Nations

Released independently on this exact day, this is one of the most influential albums in heavy metal history. As a cornerstone of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), its aggressive riffs and intricate structures completely laid the groundwork for the 1980s thrash metal movement. If it sounds familiar, it's because Metallica famously covered four of its tracks: "Am I Evil?", "Helpless", "The Prince", and "Sucking My Love".
