King Diamond Official Tour Merchandise

admin — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:10:58 +0000

To those of you who might consider getting some of the new touring merchandise, be aware that all official shirts have the “King Diamond official merchandise – 100% pure evil” tag in the neck. Any shirts without it would not be official King Diamond shirts.

Also be aware that we do not sell outside the actual venues. The only way to get the official merchandise is inside the venues. Hope this will help you avoid being ripped off by bootleggers.

Stay Heavy – King Diamond

King Diamond and Volbeat Release Free Download

admin — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 16:30:33 +0000

Volbeat’s latest album, “Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies”, features a guest appearance from the legendary King Diamond.

Today, King Diamond and Volbeat are pleased to release the Jacob Hansen mastered version of this track, titled “Room 24″, as a FREE download gift to the fans.

Fans can download the track in full-quality HERE.

The track “Room 24″ features a massive coup for Volbeat with the guest appearance from King Diamond, the legendary front man of Danish metal pioneers Mercyful Fate, and one of Poulsen’s musical idols. Volbeat reveals, “I’m a huge fan of Mercyful Fate and King Diamond. Having King on the record is a huge privilege. Normally, it’s not something he does. He wrote his own lines, and it is half my lyrics and half his. It’s a weird, scary story, and he’s the perfect person for it.”

King Diamond to Return to 013 in Tilburg, Netherlands

admin — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 16:00:23 +0000

The King Is Back!

The Danish heavy metal singer King Diamond is coming back to 013 for the first time in seven years for a phenomenal performance.

Kim Bendix Petersen gained fame in the 80′s with the legendary band Mercyful Fate. King Diamond immediately continued his success with leading solo records such as ‘Abigail’ and ‘Them’. He is known for his occult horror stories, sung in a unique falsetto voice, accompanied by haunting heavy metal riffs. Inspired by the stage presence of Alice Cooper, every King Diamond show is known for being an extended visual performance.

Medical complications made it impossible for King Diamond to tour for a while, but with performances at Europe’s leading metal festivals Hellfest and Sweden Rock last year, the King proved to be running at full steam again. This year the King will be performing at all major European festivals, but also made a spot in his schedule for an exclusive club show in 013!
