About

KING DIAMOND IN CONCERT:

When it comes to all-out macabre spectacle, few artists can compete with legendary Danish heavy metal icon King Diamond. The revered performer has been honing his diabolical stage persona for four decades, and his highly theatrical live show is the perfect showcase for his incredible falsetto vocals, bludgeoning guitars, and over-the-top showmanship. From his heavily painted black and white makeup to the neon crosses hanging upside-down above the stage, King Diamond's acclaimed tours provide an unforgettable concert experience that fans of full-blown heavy metal extravaganza won't want to miss.


BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Danish metal legend King Diamond, a.k.a. Kim Bendix Peterson, got his start as a performer in the mid-'70s with the heavy rock outfits Brainstorm and Black Rose. In 1981 he formed the seminal heavy metal group Merciful Fate, which provided a testing ground for the quasi-Satanic persona he had begun developing with his earlier projects. After two acclaimed albums and a world tour the band called it quits, and in 1985 King Diamond launched his solo career with his eponymous band. Their 1986 debut Fatal Portrait cracked the Top 40 in Sweden, enthralling the country's dark metal fans with morbid songs like "Lurking in the Dark" and "Halloween". The band followed up in 1997 with concept album Abigail, which landed on the US Billboard 200 chart and staked the increasingly ambitious, concept-oriented territory they would continue to explore on subsequent releases. With 12 studio albums and nearly as many acclaimed tours under their belt, King Diamond continues to thrill ticket buyers with their no-holds-barred heavy metal mayhem.

    by gbring on 10/16/14The Fillmore Silver Spring - Silver Spring

    This was one of the best Metal shows I have scene in a long time. The band were tight and just blew everyone away. Stage set was really cool, props were cool too. King can still hit the high notes. They were really good.

    KING DIAMOND LIVES!

    by BPSully on 10/16/14Fillmore - Silver Spring

    Dispite his past health concerns and not touring in the U.S. for around 15 years I was not sure what to expect from the KING but as soon as he started belting out the first song I knew he was just as good if not better than he has ever been. The band as a whole sounded excellent and I followed every note and every change feverishly like I had not done since my 20's. The energy of the show is still with me today almost 3 days later! I only wish I had enough time off from my job so I could follow KING around the country and witness every single show on the remainder of this tour.... yet that still would not satisfy my hunger and desire to continually witness the awesomeness and talent of the icon of Metal that is KING DIAMOND!

    King Diamond

    by acsev on 10/16/14The Fillmore Silver Spring - Silver Spring

    I enjoyed the show. Alot of the classics were done, including some Mercyful Fate. Only thing that disappointed me really was how short the actual set was. Was hoping to hear King do "Give Me Your Soul".. Which IS my personal favorite.... Nope. Awesome show altogether.

    The King is back and better than ever!!

    by Jakesgal on 10/14/14Center Stage Theatre - Atlanta

    This was my most anticipated event of the year. I've been a HUGE King Diamond fan for years. Being present for his first US show was majorly important for me and he did not disappoint! The mood was set by the opening band Jess and the Ancient Ones. The atmosphere they created was a perfect starter for what was coming next. After a quick finish on the stage set up the house lights began to dim and the roar of the crowd was almost deafening. I completely lost my mind when I heard The Candle begin to play!! The intro finished and the band hit the stage with full force!! Andy LaRocque and Mike Wead had guitars blazing, Matt Thompson is a master of his craft on drums and new bass player Pontus Egberg fits in perfectly!! Kings voice is, IMO, stronger and better than ever before and let's not forget the beautiful Livia Zita adding backing vocals for a perfectly balanced sound. The stage itself is an amazing sight to see, Columns topped by demon heads sit at the bottom of stairs leading up to huge glowing inverted crosses and in the center the pentagram burns red like fire! This temple-like setting made the perfect place for King to weave his amazing tales of horror and magic. He gave a STELLAR performance and he sounded better, again IMO, than he did as a younger man. I've been fortunate enough to see him 3 times now over the years. Every song, every note, every bit of the performance left me wanting more! The band, the stage performers, the audience all became one that night. I was so impressed that I've purchased a ticket for a show that's 6 hours away. It will be worth every minute and mile!! LONG LIVE KING DIAMOND!!!
