I Love Both The King and Mercyful Fate. I do like the direction the king went when he left the band. Mercyful Fate was Great also but they were a bit satanic for me. The King's approach was much better. I do like the guitar sound a bit better with M.F. but all in all I could not choose a favorite band. His Horror stories and voice is nothing short of amazing. If his voice ever goes soft he can always take up a career in the Horror Film Industry but I did hear a U tube from him the other day Jan 2012 at Dallas Texas. His voice is still Spectacular. It was a bit odd seeing him without his frightening makeup though.
"King Diamond? what a joke!" was heard as my mate shouted across the office at me. In fairness, there definitely is an air of joker about him however if you can adjust your open minded ness to full capacity you will hear: A: Vocals that leap around octaves as if it were nothing with lyrical content to amuse and convey eerie qualities. B: Brutal guitar riffs and solos C: Expertly arranged epic progressive musical segments fused together to create theatrical horror metal masterpieces. This music is an acquired taste. The track collection of his career work is spot on. If you like metal and are trudging around for something a bit different I would definitely recommend looking up this "best of" album. Watch out for At the Graves, the crescendo into the ripping first chorus still puts the hairs up on my neck from what should have worn thin. ..."SPIRITS!!!, rise up from the grave"Read full review
