"Living On...Borrowed Time" is a recording by Diamond Head. This is Diamond Head's fourth recording, their second on the MCA label. The album was recorded in 1981 and released in 1982, reaching Number 24 on the UK album chart.
This was the band's first major label released after being signed to MCA Records in 1981. The cover featured a lavish Rodney Matthews illustrated gatefold sleeve, based on the album's Elric theme, which was the most expensive sleeve commissioned by MCA at the time. The investment paid off as it was very well received and it managed to get to #24 in the UK album charts, enabling the band to perform a full scale UK arena tour, performing large venues such as London's Hammersmith Apollo.
This album also saw the band move away from all out heavy riffs and towards softer and more progressive songs, such as In the Heat of the Night and Don't You Ever Leave Me, which was well received by fans, as the former has remained a regular in the live set list to this day.

1. In the Heat of the Night
