  No Life Til Metal - CD Gallery - King Diamond
King Diamond was formed from the ashes of Mercyful Fate and named after the band's vocalist.
King Diamond is musically similar to Mercyful Fate but for the most part they drop the 'all hail ye Satan' lyrics for concepts based on bizarre, fictional stories.
King Diamond's signature, ultra-high, falsettos are used minimally on this album, and mostly as background.

King was still looking for a new drummer for the recording of his upcoming album, so he hired temporarily Mikkey as a session drummer, but just for the recording sessions only.
At first, both albums were supposed to be released at the same time, but however, the record company have decided to release them a few months one from another; they thought both albums would sell more if the were not released simultaneously.
All the King Diamond albums have stories that touch very deep on the human mind and human nature, but this time, the story touched on a subject that is often taboo: incest.

 King Diamond Interview
King: Well this time we had a little girl come in and play the part of Abigail and laugh at me during one of the tracks.
King: The first thing is that we did not just milk the same story as Abigail and re-write it and throw it back into the stores.
The whole story behind the first live album was that it was released to get out of the record deal we had at the time and there are things about it that are positive and there are things about it that are negative.

King fans will enjoy it, but modest fans of progmetal would be better suited to dig up his earlier work first.

 METALEATER.COM - Album Reviews - King Diamond - Voodoo
In 1990, KING DIAMOND had just completed his fifth album, "The Eye", which proved to be his final studio release for RoadRunner, and his last great solo album for eight years.
On "Voodoo", there really isn't a KING DIAMOND band: it's more like "KING DIAMOND, with his trusty sidekick, Andy La Rocque." The other musicians on the album are gone, and have been for quite some time.
In conclusion, "Voodoo" is the single most underrated KING DIAMOND album, and it stands proudly alongside "Abigail" and "The Eye".

 King Diamond : Voodoo - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
On King Diamond's eighth concept album, the prolific horror rocker hasn't entirely run out of ideas, although the material on Voodoo is generally predictable.
The music stays true to form as well; Diamond's cartoonishly ghastly vocals haven't lost any of their bite, long running sideman Andy LaRocque maintains his own high level of proficiency on the guitar, and the band in general turn in dependably workmanlike performances.
Overall, King Diamond achieves a sort of musical equivalent to the classic Hammer horror films of the 1960s.

King Diamond is his usual self on this album, spewing forth lots of falsetto screams and plenty of interesting vocal melodies.
King Diamond's story telling was always top notch, and in "The Eye" he concludes an era of great albums, all released very closely together up to this point, and gives listeners what they want from the King: something more than just music to think about.
Instead of the usual horror-theme-based albums that the King conceieved in the past, it is mostly constructed around the true facts of the French Inquisition.

King takes a journey into the past with a concept album based on True events and real people, he spins a tale of torture and Religious persecution.

King shows us the darker side of human nature with this wicked look into the life of pervert through the eyes of a 'Lunatic', a tale of Betrayal and Revenge with a surprise ending!

King Diamond's creativity can make his music accessible to fans and DJs (since the rest of my review will be in DJ format) who are normally hostile towards metal.
King must have been reading alot of H.P. Lovecraft around the time he wrote this, coz there are similarities for sure.

Voodoo's a pretty good album-not so much maybe on the first listen, but it'll grow on you.
Voodoo's not required reading for those interested in King Diamond, but it doesn't hurt by any means.
King does seem to have a little knowledge of the voodoo religion(my guess is that he knows about many religions), but mostly it's the good ole Hollywood horror version of voodoo.

While the album is quite accessible, it did take a few listens before the album opened up to me, but from then on it has just kept on growing.

 King Diamond
When I called him up in Texas for the interview for the new album "House Of God", I received a highly interesting view of the life-philosophy of the Dane, which should interest everybody, even those, who normally are not interested in Heavy Metal.
I mean, every KING DIAMOND-album you put on sounds different, they all have a different feeling and a different atmosphere and that is good, because it still is our KING DIAMOND-style, that truly does exist, but uses the room within the style.
And when you look at the different albums, it is there on each of them, and then you will find yourself looking around, in a bar, in the TV, at sports events and see, how people talk, how they act or how they get mad at each other and why.

 CD GALLERY: King Diamond
After King Diamond left Mercyful Fate, he set out in a different musical direction, abandoning the all-out Satan tunes for more generalized horror stories in the style of H.P. Lovecraft.
(By the way, don't take the "King" as any sort of comparison to Stephen King...King Diamond is a MUCH better writer!!!) The tale here, as far as I can tell, is about the evil spirit of a stillborn baby (Abigail) who possesses the soul of her great-great-great-granddaughter 200 years later, or something like that.
I certainly won't go THAT far to describe this album, but clearly, like Meat Loaf's awful Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell, this is a pure marketing gimmick thinly disguised as a "return to the old school", and King Diamond ought to be ashamed of himself.

 Album Review KING DIAMOND-Abigail Pt. II The Revenge :: Maelstrom :: Issue No 9   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
House of God was the first King Diamond release of the new decade, and featured a very back-to-basics style of songwriting, and a very odd guitar sound barely qualifying as Metal at all so little was it distorted.
The music is catchier as well as being more complex (for example King told me a while before the album's release that in one part there are three guitar solos playing simultaneously) and the vocals measure up with memorable harmonies and wonderful use of King's full range.
No, it doesn't sound like an '80s King Diamond album; but it does have that same distinct feel to it possessed by House of God, which links these albums of the '00s to the original and best of the 80s; that indefinable quality that King somehow lost or failed to capture on his '90s releases.

He had a problem at the time he was in the King Diamond band, especially with drinking.
Usually, King Diamond Is a full concept horror story, and it is again about voodoo, and it delves in the real heavy side of the voodoo religion, not just the sticking little pins in dolls and shit like that.
And I asked, "Do you know who King Diamond is? How can any of his fans be offended by this?' So I ended up handing the magazine out on the corner anyway.

This is the best king diamond album, forget all the others albums this is the best, many people says that abigail is the best of king diamond just forget these people and buy fatal portrait.
As his career went on, King Diamond would use multiple singing voices on his albums, but on this one he's using the trademark falsetto about 98% of the time.
Fatal Portrait, more than any other Diamond solo release, sounds like Mercyful Fate (thats a good thing!) If your like me, and you think albums like Abigail and Them are are silly attempts at "wanna-be" Stephen King writing and annoying horror vocals, again, Fatal Portrait is the Diamond album to own.

I have a problem with almost all King Diamond albums ever released, with the exception of "Abigail": I don't initially like them.
I always thought "The Graveyard" was a bit too theatrical, with too much of King's speaking and whispering, but I recently put it on again and I really liked it.
Fact is that "Voodoo" is a really OK album but it hasn't yet hit home with me. Some of its tracks are pretty cool (particularly "Voodoo", with scary-sounding guitar additions by Dimebag Darrell), but I couldn't really call it a King Classic.

Kim Bendix Petersen, better known as King Diamond, has built an empire out of wailing spirits, singing spiders, and voodoo priestesses.
Diamond wisely forgoes his usual cheeseball spoken-word intro and simply launches into "Midnight," a melodic dirge that ranks high amongst his huge -- and often inconsistent -- body of work.
King Diamond has reached a stage in his career where evil has begun to fade into novelty, and The Puppet Master resonates with a dark giddiness that suits a man with face paint and a cape nearing his fifties.
