  King Diamond - Biography - AOL Music
Born Kim Bendix Petersen in Denmark on June 14, 1956, the future King Diamond was originally drawn to theatrically based hard rock due to such trailblazers as Alice Cooper, and soon began fronting local bands in the '70s, including a punk metal outfit called the Brats.
Diamond, by this time, had developed an interest in the occult, which reflected in the new group's subject matter, as the frontman began wearing makeup (which resembled a cross between his hero Cooper and Kiss' Gene Simmons).
King Diamond's first three solo releases, 1986's Fatal Portrait, 1987's Abigail, and 1988's Them, are widely considered to be Diamond's finest, as the singer continued to issue further releases until the early '90s (1989's Conspiracy, 1990's The Eye).

King Diamond would probably have gone the way of Queensryche at the advent of grunge without the musical prowess of his hires, but the real allure is the horror story concept albums and the unrelenting Satanic overtones of his live show.
During these occasions, it may have behooved the band to turn their amps, if not all the way to eleven, at least to eight, though I don't blame the forty-seven year-old vocalist for preserving his voice and relishing hearing his lyrics shouted back at him, no matter how badly they were butchered.
At this point, Diamond announced the release of his newest album, The Puppet Master, and was rejoined by his actress for a performance of the title track.
