Biography
Danish theatrical rocker King Diamond, known for his elastic falsetto, occult themes, and iconic face-paint, rose to fame as a member of gothic black metal band Mercyful Fate before launching a successful solo career in 1986. With a multi-octave range, he released acclaimed albums like Abigail (1987) and Give Me Your Soul...Please (2007), the latter earning a Grammy nomination. Diamond's influence in the metal scene was evident through his narrative-driven releases and theatrical live performances.
Born Kim Bendix Petersen in 1956, Diamond was inspired by acts like Alice Cooper and Kiss, leading to his early involvement in bands like the Brats before forming Mercyful Fate. Despite controversies and lineup changes, Diamond's solo career mirrored his former band's style and success, with standout releases including Fatal Portrait (1986) and Them (1988). His enduring impact was highlighted by his return to Mercyful Fate in the '90s and subsequent solo albums that showcased his signature storytelling and vocal prowess, culminating in ongoing accolades and recognition in the metal community.
