The album was recorded in 1980 and released later that year through Happy Face Records, a label owned by the producer Muff Murfin of The Old Smithy studio of Worcester, due to lack of interest from major labels and the band feeling that they needed to get the ball rolling as other bands from the same era, such as Iron Maiden and Def Leppard, were already becoming big names.

What's in Your Head? is the sixth album by British heavy metal band Diamond Head. This was Diamond Head's second and last album with singer Nick Tart, who would quit in 2014 due to long-distance issues arising when he had moved to Brisbane, Australia. While the previous album was produced by Diamond Head's drummer Karl Wilcox, the band this time worked with producer Dave Nicholls, who has previously worked with name bands such as Slipknot and Stone Sour. This is also the first album to feature guitarist Andy Abberley. Following its release, the band would focus primarily on touring and wouldn't release a full-length studio album till 2016, nearly a decade later. Tatler "had no interest in making a new album", Nick stated about Tatler during an interview in 2014 "he didn't feel the urge."
In the Shadows is the third full-length studio album by Danish heavy metal band Mercyful Fate. It is the first offering of the band since their reunion in 1992. This would be the final full-length album Timi Hansen would appear on before his death in 2019. The album was released in June 22, 1993 via Metal Blade Records. Unlike previous Mercyful Fate albums, which were entirely centered around lyrical themes of Satanism and the occult, the lyrics on this album are rather focused on more conceptual horror-themes, akin to King Diamond's work with his eponymous band. The band would not return to a primarily occult/satanic lyrical approach until the band's latest album, 9, released in 1999.
