About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

When King Diamond emerged with the archetypal black metal outfit Mercyful Fate in the early '80s, his alarmingly satanic lyrics were downright scary. But as a solo artist, he has become a reliable source of harmless, B-movie horror fun with his well-done concept albums. The Graveyard isn't one of his best, due to less memorable material and a tight, dry production which, while it sounds cleaner than that of earlier albums like Fatal Portrait and Abigail, doesn't convey the dark theatricality of the material as well as those albums do. Diamond's backing band never disappoints, however; guitarists Andy LaRocque and Herb Simonsen contribute plenty of flawless neo-classical solos with imagination and spirit. ~ Andy Hinds, All Music Guide All Music Guide

July 07, 2004: A different style completely from the earlier classics. Some people would say it sounds horrible, but its all a matter of opinion. Personally i think this style isnt that bad. Not as good as it used to be, but still pretty frickin good. It's more like scary in a playful way.(like the Joker) In the story, King plays a psycho(also like the Joker) wrongfully(?) put in an asylum and breaks out and takes his revenge on....i won't give away any more of it. But overall, a great story, good instrumental work and good vocals(for me anyway) Remember, dont frame (somewhat) innocent people, theyll come back to getcha!

March 10, 2003: This album is not so good as King's earlier ones. The level of tracks have gone worse and the vocals sound like a child would scream. Maybe King tries to be scary but fails totally. He's more like funny. Instruments have been well done except from "Trick and Treat" which is annoyng because of too strong sounds.
