Heavy metal legend, friend of Anton LaVey, & International certified lab assistant, embody the immortal King Diamond, the cover model of Decibel this month.
Volbeat’s latest album, “Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies”, features a guest appearance from the legendary King Diamond. Today “Room 24” is FREE to download.
Dave Grohl acknowledges his love for old-school metal by writing a bunch of songs and sending them to his favorite metal vocalists to add lyrics and vocals.
Look for a few twists in the tale this time, King Diamond, for his 11th solo album adding occasional female vocals (Livia Zita), more guitar soloing, and a DVD.
A combination of Motörhead, Entombed, and soundtrack music would be the best way to describe this, smacked upside the head with doses of progressive thrash and Italian doom.
Kudos to the King for having the open mind and healthy ego enough to let/put out this casual, raw CD capturing the man’s pre-Mercyful Fate band in late 1980.
No real surprises here. If yer into King’s kooky/campy freakshow of falsetto, here’s almost an hour’s worth of riffs and screeching to add to yer collection.
