Our Take

Ah, King Diamond, the Danish maestro of macabre metal is back with his latest offering "Songs For The Dead Live" and it's as chillingly delicious as ever. This limited edition transparent blue/white splatter vinyl release is a must-have for any die-hard fan of the King.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a world of dark, twisted tales of horror and mayhem. Diamond's vocals are as haunting and powerful as ever, sending shivers down your spine with every high-pitched scream and demonic wail. The band is tight and on point, delivering bone-crushing riffs and thunderous drums that will have you headbanging in no time.

The production on this live album is top-notch, capturing the energy and intensity of Diamond's legendary stage presence. The crowd's roaring chants and applause only add to the immersive experience, making you feel like you're right there in the front row, surrounded by fellow metalheads.

Tracks like "Halloween" and "Welcome Home" are definite highlights, showcasing Diamond's masterful storytelling abilities and knack for crafting memorable hooks. But it's the sheer theatricality of the performance that truly sets this album apart – every song feels like a mini horror movie unfolding before your very eyes.

So if you're in the mood for some spine-tingling, hair-raising metal that will leave you awe-inspired and a little bit terrified, "Songs For The Dead Live" is the perfect addition to your vinyl collection. Don't sleep on this one – it's a bloody good time.

About the artist

King Diamond

KING DIAMOND If you're looking for a musician who takes theatricality to a whole new level, look no further than King Diamond. The Danish singer-songwriter, known for his signature corpse paint and bone-chilling falsetto, has been a pioneer in the world of heavy metal since the 1980s. Born Kim Bendix Petersen, King Diamond's career has been a rollercoaster of macabre storytelling and ear-splitting riffs. With his band Mercyful Fate, he crafted some of the most iconic metal albums of all time, including "Melissa" and "Don't Break the Oath." But it was his solo work, starting with 1986's "Fatal Portrait," that truly showcased his unique blend of horror and heavy metal. King Diamond's concept albums, such as "Abigail" and "Them," have become essential listening for any metalhead worth their salt. With his devilish persona and chilling stage presence, he has captivated audiences around the world and inspired countless bands in the metal scene. But King Diamond is more than just a spooky showman – he's also a masterful storyteller. His lyrics weave intricate tales of the occult, madness, and revenge, drawing listeners into a world of darkness and despair. And let's not forget his vocal range, which can go from a sinister whisper to a blood-curdling scream in the blink of an eye. So if you're in the mood for some chilling tales and bone-rattling riffs, put on your best corpse paint and dive into the dark and twisted world of King Diamond. Just be warned – once you enter, there's no turning back. Long live the King!
