This is an epic artist. A huge influencer of lots of metalbands like Slayer. The man has some dark thoughtpatterns. That's quite an understatement. Fits perfectly in this Halloween thing. Saw him live years ago. What a show.
King Diamond (real name Kim Bendix Petersen) rose to fame in the early 80's as the lead singer of Danish metallers Mercyful Fate, who used satanic imagery and lyrics... a very horror-themed heavy metal band. Mercyful Fate's debut album 'Melissa' is just a classic from 1983... followed by "Don't break the Oath" (1984)... Mercyful Fate split up in 1985, and King Diamond soon formed his solo band. King Diamond released his debut album 'Fatal Portrait' in 1986... it was followed up by 'Abigail' (1987) which began his foray into concept albums of horror storytelling for which his vocals were a perfect mix of high pitch shrills and creepy snarls... 'Abigail' was the story set in the 1800's depicting a revenge of the unborn... "Them" (1988) was a ghost story about a boy named King and his sister Missy living in their Grandma's haunted house 'Amon'... 'Conspiracy' (1989) was a sequel to "Them" as an adult King inherits 'Amon' and is warned by the undead spirits that people he knows are conspiring to take the house from him... King Diamond reunited Mercyful Fate in 1993 until 2000... and then again this year (2022)... he still works on King Diamond records as well. Some suggestions for King Diamond - 'Abigail'... 'Welcome home'... 'Sleepless nights'... 'The Family Ghost'... 'Killer'... 'Voodoo'... 🤘🤘🎃🎃
This was KD first album after leaving Mercyful Fate. And his 1st try at a concept album. It’s not quite a full concept album but Abigail comes next and history is made. I’m sure you’ve heard gold is worth more than paper money, well KD’s Abigail album is worth more than gold!
I’m bummed that it wasn’t a Slipknot video, but I’m so glad that you checked out King Diamond! He has so many good songs that are worth listening to. You should also check out his band Mercyful Fate 😊🎃
HaalloooweeEEEEEEE-EEEN, man... musically I love King Diamond, but I sure struggle with those vocals. Still, this was a fun one. Plus, lots of Mocha! Happy HallooweeeEEEEEEE-EE-EEEEn Lauren.
I know it’s way past Halloween but hell it’s always good to hang with Ya whenever 🤘🏽💀🤘🏽I know I had fun listening to TON with you and happy belated Halloween hope ya had a good one. Next is Turkey ha’
The song Evil by Mercyful Fate, where King Diamond is the singer, is the best for his normal voice and the falsetto. His normal voice is just as good, or better, in my opinion.
I was thinking that I hadn't heard this in, at least, 25 years. Then you said it came out in '86. That was the year after I graduated high school. So, I haven't heard this since '90ish. I've listened to some King Diamond, but not a lot. His other band is, Mercyful Fate, if you're interested. He's from Denmark. That's all I know. I enjoyed this little blast from the past. I hope you had a spooky good Halloween 🎃 Tell Mocha, I know how she feels about the phone ringing. Lol!
Yes you are there are just better king diamond songs this one is just seasonal and a bit basic for the king it's all concept and theatrics you have to listen to all of Abigail period. 🤘😈🤘

We've reached the end of Halloween month. Thanks for all of the suggestions. It's been fun!
Happy Halloween! 🎃
You are the absolute best!
King Diamond is the metal Bee Gees. Amazing falsetto.
King Diamond also has a Christmas song for the evil spirits - 'No presents for Christmas' 😈 🤘🤘
King also has one for the Christmas playlist-
No Presents
🎃 Happy Halloween 🎃
Mercyful Fate : Legend of the headless rider
Ah, the official holiday of King Diamond where we also get free candy.

You have to check out the band "Helloween". They also have a song called Halloween. They're the so called pioneers of power metal.
HAPPY Halloween 2023
I would recommend invisible guests
This was KD first album after leaving Mercyful Fate. And his 1st try at a concept album. It’s not quite a full concept album but Abigail comes next and history is made. I’m sure you’ve heard gold is worth more than paper money, well KD’s Abigail album is worth more than gold!
