Been a fan of mercyful fate since Melissa was first released. Decades later I'm still a fan at 56 years old. Rock metal macabre opera and totally unique!
@@PsychomachineryEBM Ahead of his time? King Diamond's music is definitely among the very best of Heavy Metal but it wasn't really "ahead of the time", rather it fit in perfectly.
I cannot sleep at night That's what the day is for anyway And as the clock strikes midnight I hear them dancing at the graves Singing to my mind Killing the pain . . . sleepless nights . . . sleepless nights I cannot sleep at night That's what the day is for anyway And as the clock strikes midnight Only they can let us meet Even though she's dead now I gotta see her again . . . sleepless nights . . . sleepless nights I cannot sleep at night I will do anything to see missy again Then let us make you an eternal deal You will attend to the graves You'll give us the house back and keep in mind That we only come here at night. So we made the deal under the starry night and Amon belongs to them now . . . I feel the dawn coming my way And as the sun breaks up the dark I can't hear them dance no more There's no voices Killing the pain . . . pain . . . pain
If you Google the term "Danish Metal", you will see King Diamond's grinning face staring back at you. I saw him on the Abigail tour and he did not disappoint.
I love how the song, as soon as its starts, is stright to the point. Fast and aggressive and then changing to a nice clean section, then back to fast and aggressive. Plus, the music video. The footage, the editing, perfect. You rock King, you rock.🤘
I have annoying construction going on next door, so I decided to play some King Diamond real loud to mess with them. I never heard this song before but it kicks ass! The part where he goes real low scared me, so job well done. Great song
The riffing throughout the whole song is mindblowing, but especially that part at 00:58 (which luckily repeats two times), whenever I listen to it I feel the urge to punch everything that is near me. It doesn't get heavier than this!
King invented black metal. The guitarist are amazing. They are up there with Yngwie and Blackmore. King played guitar before he decided to sing. He wrote the songs and leads on some of the albums.
Jerry Meisler there are A LOT of types of black metal and Not all of them have growling, some sound like usual heavy metal bands. So there is no strict style borders in BM IMHO.
Primeira mente você é linda segundo King Saimon o vocalista a maneira dele de interpretar a maneira de si vestir é genial principalmente a voz inigualável muito técnico muito foda incrível enigmático é pura magia muita melodia armonia pressisao genialidade as vozes de alma penada canto estilo lírico ou seja não é taquara são vozes enigmáticas
@@JoseEduardo-vt8zw muchísimas gracias,muy amable! En verdad que King Diamond es único,en todo el sentido de la palabra,yo crecí escuchando su música y nunca he perdido el entusiasmo por sus canciones,en verdad que no hay quien lo iguale! Saludos y un hermoso fin de semana para ti 🌹
Gatona linda deliciosa essa é você a banda King Saimon me tira da musi cá Ruin que os vizinhos ouvem chata Sen alma Sen vida King Saimon é muitas misturas apesar de muitos não verem desse jeito a bateria usa um pouco de Black bionce out kast isso fica nítido na pegada do bumbo eles isso metal un pouco de música clássica vozes enigmáticas de almas penadas demônios são incríveis e o maior gênio da banda o vocalista con sua incrível voz interpretação e estilo mega genial ou seja metal rock in pouco de música clássica Black estilo bionce toques de Barravento toque afro genial
Mikkey Dee recorded this great Conspiracy Album production; but Snowy Shawn got the honor of doing this great 1989 tour. Great times. I had the honor of watching Abigail 87 tour when Mikkey Dee was with the band. And I remember the opening act bands were: Santuary y Malice Band. The best thing was the price for seeing all these excellent bands. Definitely good times.👍🎼🎸🎤🎶🥁
King Diamond as an influence on music in general is still so far beyond comprehension. We may never know how truly influential this man was to the formation of metal as we know it now. Hail to the King, Baby! 😎
Adivinha qual seria essa obra vangog ou a Mona Lisa porque vangog espiritual estranho mas genial e espiritual porque Mona Lisa parece hiper real mas é maneirismo ele un lobisomem ou un anti Cristo que pinta a cara genial várias coisas em uma vozes de almas penadas demônios inigualáveis muita complexidade no canto é uma musica que ten alma meche toca na alma no coração muita armonia melodia suavidade e peso tudo combinando e nahora certa
