Product Description:

Widely regarded as the finest vocalist in all of death metal, theatrical rocker King Diamond first rose to prominence as a member of Mercyful Fate, before launching a solo career on his own. King Diamond's first three solo releases, 1986's Fatal Portrait, 1987's Abigail, and 1988's Them, are widely considered to be Diamond's finest, as the singer continued to issue further releases until the early '90s (1989's Conspiracy, 1990's The Eye). Come the early '90s, Mercyful Fate was constantly being name-checked as a prime influence by just about every new thrash and death metal band, which led to a re-formation of the original group (save for drummer Ruzz), and such further releases as 1993's In the Shadows (which included a remake of their early track, "Return of the Vampire," with Metallica's Lars Ulrich sitting in on drums), 1994's Time, 1996's Into the Unknown, 1998's Dead Again, and 1999's 9. By the middle of the '90s, Diamond began issuing solo albums again (simultaneously with his Fate output), as such titles as 1995's The Spider's Lullabye, 1996's The Graveyard, 1998's Voodoo, 2000's House of God, 2002's Abigail II: The Revenge , 2003's The Puppet Master, 2004's Deadly Lullabyes Live, and 2007's Give Me Your Soul...Please were issued. - Greg Prato (All Music Guide)
