It's amazing how both sides actually listen to each other's point of view. That doesn't happen much anymore. These days, if people have differing opinions, it just turns into a shouting match where no communication occurs.
It's weird comparing this to all the talk shows that covered Satanism here in the US - on this one they all seem very polite and civil. Good luck having that kind of discussion here in the USA.
Very true but King as always was a class act. And he has always done a great job of explaining his Satanic Beliefs especially this past year in some live fan chats that he did!
i agree with you man, most people are influenced by prejudices and propaganda saying that is evil, this is wrong... Come on, stop believing everything you heard, make yourself a clear opinion. King Diamond is respectable, he's a metal reference for his style; he's not praying for death or demons, he wants to be free of his actions unlike Christians and that's a good thing, i think he's right on many things about religion without being with the same faith as him. He's really tolerant that is rare
I Remember when this show was first broardcarstet when I was a teenager. It was a fridaynight entertainment show on the danish TV2 called Eleva2eren. The name of the host is Isabella Mihrenard ( not sure about the spelling though (-: )
Read the words to King Diamond's song ' A Dangerous Meeting '. Its about some people who took the occult too far and ended up dead. His own lyrics talk about it! Nevertheless, the dude and his bandmates rock hard!!
King knows what he is talking about and he is right. He knows more about Satanism than anyone trust me. He did several live fan chats recently and talked for over an hour many times about Satanism
Great point. No matter what side of the fence they were on, there was a clear air of respect for everyone. It was especially striking because of the sensitive nature of the topic. Could you imagine sitting down with an Islamic extremist and a Christian fundamentalist in America today? It would be unbearable. I think anyone who views that video can learn something from it... tolerance.
Basically to be a satanist is to believe in yourself. Live life in your own perspectives while still facing reality and its problems. Never took religion serious but most of my self made views lead to satanism. Nothing wrong with that.
King always says he sings about Satanic Supernatural powers to make the fans aware of them so we can use them to have a better life. But what good is that if he does not tell us how to use them to get that better life?
Hes not talking about self defense. He's talking about a general principle to respect and value human life, not for what it does or doesnt do, but for it in itself. ie the respect of intrinsic value of human life. If one has it for oneself, then they can have valuable statements and acts. And if you have it then others do too. If they don't have intrinsic worth then you dont either, and neither do your statements, making any denial of intrinsic value meaningless. Doesnt mean be a door mat.
im not christian or satanist or on a diet but king diamond makes good, enlightening points about his beliefs. i wonder what his views on forgiveness is though..well now anyway considering how depressingly old this interview is
I have to agree that I do not believe in glasses rising and what not, but for different reasons, I think King Diamond is just mentioning stuff like this to get a "wow" out of his fans because "perhaps" the majority of them believe in this kind of stuff. Clever marketing is all it is
@clipsryan I agree. I am an athiest and have been but I recently got into Satanism. I don't believe Satan to be a deity, but to represent the evil in us all. But many people consider Satan a deity. It all boils down to peoples personal beliefs.
@clipsryan Well, I think it's unfair to say most Christians are hypocrites. Most of us try to live our faith, but the ideals are very difficult to live completely. You're going to fall short. I don't always live my faith, but I'm human. I'm flawed. The one thing I try to do as a Catholic is to say that I'm no better than anyone else and I'm just as screwed up as the next guy. Just being Catholic or Christian or whatever doesn't mean you're a good person.
You made a comment that he was wrong and have yet to show me why? And King is by FAR not the only Satanist who has said that Satan means the opposite. Many Satanists have said this including the current head of the Church of Satan, and most importantly the Satanic Bible itself
@MrDukeecw there was another one like this and the poor priest could not answer anything that King had to say so the priest got upset and walked off lol
There is nothing else to ponder when guys are trying to cut you with a knife. You preserve your life by any means you can, up to destroying your attackers. None of this figuring out how desperate their childhood was. You don't care. You care about stopping the attack.
its not worshipping satan, its living out ur feelings, personally im a muslim(not a practicing 1 i was just raised 1 so i still consider myself as such) but i hav 2 friends that are "satanists" and they explained to me it is simply, living out ur feelings and doing wat u want to do without feeling its a sin or feeling like its gna upset a "higher power", they explained there is a devil worshipping thing but thats sumthing else, either way, doznt matter wat u bliv, if ur a metalhead, its all gd!
I realize that's some what to do with it, but you don't think they appeal to their religious text to assume their right to the land? Does the fact that the Koran teaches the idea of jihad, targeting people because of their beliefs, and many go on record saying they'd kill their own family members for converting to Christianity have nothing to do with beheadings and honor killings we see today?
It's quite ironic that the priest guy said they need to worry about the real world and not some spiritual world. Now I'm not religious but It comes across to me that All Christians want to do is make it into heaven. Contradicting much?
No, it means "the accuser." Most theologists beleive that Satan was actually just a title given to any angel chosen by God to test the faith of the human race. Kinda like a prosecuter. That's just one view I've heard anyways.
Just in case you didn't get that message I'm leaving it now. I never said you act it out for being an animal nor that you are angry because of it. It's just that CoS says it's okay for simply being who "we" are. Anyway, thanks for clearing the confusion about your religion. Rituals though... eh eh. That's a delusion.
Can I point something out? If you're a satanist, that doesn't mean you worship satan...it's a religion of more or less yourself just with a different name
You christians are all alike. The word satan was around long before christianity and the bible and if you would study the subject and listen to people like King and LaVey you would have known that. I hope you will be open minded enough to do this one day
@OdinCalls14 Well said, I am a christian, and i love king diamond but satanism isnt anything like what people think it is , i respect every religion, and satanism isnt about killing people and all that bull its about doing what you want really you do get people who worship satan but that is a different story
@dakotamanomgwtf Yes, and no. The bottom line in Catholicism (can't speak for any other faith) but we were always taught that it was a bad idea to focus on the future to the point where you forget about the present because, ultimately, we live in the present and the decisions we make in the present effect the future. Now, personally, I could care less about a person's religion. Worship a box of rocks for all I care as long as you're not hurting yourself or someone else.
SATAN!!! I laugh every time my dad says it bc he says it funny as hell. Joked that he wanted to do it at a church one day. I said it prob give the congregation a heart attack!
I know your comment was over half a year ago, but I'd just like to tell you that, as a Satanist, I deeply appreciate you as a self-identified Christian at least attempting to understand Satanism. Criticize it all you like, but at least know about what you're criticizing. My thanks.
@mmallio Really? When did I say "the other side deserved hell"? That was you putting words in my mouth. That's seeing only what you expect and being utterly convinced of your own superiority. That's arrogance, my friend. I don't give a damn what you believe so long as you're not hurting yourself or someone else. You think you know the other side, but it's clear you don't..
What I meant was how they go on about it. About the whole animal thing, it is true that you consider yourself nothing more than that right? I know I am an animal but I also am a human and I think our awareness has come a long way don't you think. I've seen what it teaches that we are nothing more than animals and to be apart of this annoying LeVayan church you need to act out vengeance for just that reason. All those rituals do nothing. Group think. Where is the individual now?
You know why Abraham "almost did it"?, because HE LOVED GOD with all of his heart, even more than he loved his son Isaac. Yes, Cain killed Abel, and that´s why God punished him
PS -- Just what is "the other side" anyway? Don't talk of "arrogance" when you've judged someone you've never met over the Internet. That makes you just as bad as you claim someone like myself to be.
Yeah, i never disagreed about those statements, Honestly.. please don't think i'm so stupid that some burning churches is about real satanism. All i said it IS related to Christianity, even if they might be two different religions. I just think Satanism, as it's a religion is as stupid as any other religion
I suppose if you worship anything and you truly belive in it without reference to another thing, then you probably need not explain yourself. But now that he has, King Diamond is a S(ata)Nist. I don't like A(the)NS..I am out of here! I shall become the invisible guest!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEElsker King Diamond , Mercyful Fate, har gjort siden jeg var 14 år er i dag 45 år er ikke SATANIST eller Kristen kan bare godt li´musikken teksterne er fede
love and respect for king diamond...
Nice when you can understand what he saying (From denmark) Never beens so proud to be from denmark KIng diamond RULES!!!!
I mean with All Due Respect.Thank you.I have never personally seen a more Personal Interview with the King.
It's amazing how both sides actually listen to each other's point of view. That doesn't happen much anymore. These days, if people have differing opinions, it just turns into a shouting match where no communication occurs.
Thank you so much for making the effort to do this and share it!
It's weird comparing this to all the talk shows that covered Satanism here in the US - on this one they all seem very polite and civil. Good luck having that kind of discussion here in the USA.
I know you are so right!
Because in Denmark most people don't give a shit about religion
Very true but King as always was a class act. And he has always done a great job of explaining his Satanic Beliefs especially this past year in some live fan chats that he did!
The best Singer, and the best band in the world!!!!
Agreed
Mmmhh NO!!! Far from it l!!! But for you maybe?!
hail king diamond !!!
i agree with you man, most people are influenced by prejudices and propaganda saying that is evil, this is wrong... Come on, stop believing everything you heard, make yourself a clear opinion. King Diamond is respectable, he's a metal reference for his style; he's not praying for death or demons, he wants to be free of his actions unlike Christians and that's a good thing, i think he's right on many things about religion without being with the same faith as him. He's really tolerant that is rare
wooow!!!! thanks for subs sooo much!!!!
Those are great albums! It is hard for me to pick a favorite but if I had to I would go with Abigail and the Puppet Master I guess
He is a true philosopher and believer in what he represents. King is the best voice in Metal and all the bands from Black Metal own him everything
I Remember when this show was first broardcarstet when I was a teenager. It was a fridaynight entertainment show on the danish TV2 called Eleva2eren. The name of the host is Isabella Mihrenard ( not sure about the spelling though (-: )
degree in chemistry? is that true?
Read the words to King Diamond's song ' A Dangerous Meeting '. Its about some people who took the occult too far and ended up dead. His own lyrics talk about it! Nevertheless, the dude and his bandmates rock hard!!
haha The priest looks more evil than King .. I wish King had said that to him!!
Nobody describes Satanism better than the King!
PRHILL9696 and Brian h. Aka Marilyn Manson
;)
Thank you!!!
THANX FOR THE SUB!:D
I thought he looked kinda like Lemmy Kilmister in this vid!
They are good kids!! God bless em!!
King knows what he is talking about and he is right. He knows more about Satanism than anyone trust me. He did several live fan chats recently and talked for over an hour many times about Satanism
awesome!
King Diamond for President!
he wasnt even talking about that?
ah! post more info about the video! who's the host? couldn't cite my paper right >.>
Great point. No matter what side of the fence they were on, there was a clear air of respect for everyone. It was especially striking because of the sensitive nature of the topic. Could you imagine sitting down with an Islamic extremist and a Christian fundamentalist in America today? It would be unbearable.

King Diamond was fucking HOT when he was younger.
Basically to be a satanist is to believe in yourself.
Live life in your own perspectives while still facing reality and its problems.
Never took religion serious but most of my self made views lead to satanism.
Nothing wrong with that.
King always says he sings about Satanic Supernatural powers to make the fans aware of them so we can use them to have a better life. But what good is that if he does not tell us how to use them to get that better life?
More to it than that.

He's talking about a general principle to respect and value human life, not for what it does or doesnt do, but for it in itself. ie the respect of intrinsic value of human life. If one has it for oneself, then they can have valuable statements and acts. And if you have it then others do too. If they don't have intrinsic worth then you dont either, and neither do your statements, making any denial of intrinsic value meaningless. Doesnt mean be a door mat.
I was and am too!! Almost 49!! This Monday
I dont get why people make a big deal on him being a Satanist.We all have our believes and opinions, so lets just enjoy some good music
Anyway, King said in danish that it means oppisit, so he just translated what king said!
part 2? :(
im not christian or satanist or on a diet but king diamond makes good, enlightening points about his beliefs. i wonder what his views on forgiveness is though..well now anyway considering how depressingly old this interview is
charissecoal "You say 'forgiveness' and I say 'revenge'" - Come To The Sabbath
See you in '08.
King Diamond perfectly explains Satanism. It isn't what many would consider to be "worshipping satan".
Hail The King!!
🤘😠🤘
Do you know Danish?
Interesting.
I have to agree that I do not believe in glasses rising and what not, but for different reasons, I think King Diamond is just mentioning stuff like this to get a "wow" out of his fans because "perhaps" the majority of them believe in this kind of stuff. Clever marketing is all it is
@clipsryan I agree. I am an athiest and have been but I recently got into Satanism. I don't believe Satan to be a deity, but to represent the evil in us all. But many people consider Satan a deity. It all boils down to peoples personal beliefs.
@NinjaJedi11 no...
That redhead is epic
@clipsryan Well, I think it's unfair to say most Christians are hypocrites. Most of us try to live our faith, but the ideals are very difficult to live completely. You're going to fall short.

Some folks who took it too far ended up in black hill sanatorium
There is nothing else to ponder when guys are trying to cut you with a knife. You preserve your life by any means you can, up to destroying your attackers. None of this figuring out how desperate their childhood was. You don't care. You care about stopping the attack.
its not worshipping satan, its living out ur feelings, personally im a muslim(not a practicing 1 i was just raised 1 so i still consider myself as such) but i hav 2 friends that are "satanists" and they explained to me it is simply, living out ur feelings and doing wat u want to do without feeling its a sin or feeling like its gna upset a "higher power", they explained there is a devil worshipping thing but thats sumthing else, either way, doznt matter wat u bliv, if ur a metalhead, its all gd!
the word satan does not mean 'opposite'. correctly translated, it means 'the liar'.
I wonder what was IN their glasses when that famous glass rose up in the air.
anyway, the king rules.
I realize that's some what to do with it, but you don't think they appeal to their religious text to assume their right to the land? Does the fact that the Koran teaches the idea of jihad, targeting people because of their beliefs, and many go on record saying they'd kill their own family members for converting to Christianity have nothing to do with beheadings and honor killings we see today?
The Hebrew word satana literally means 'oposite'.
It's quite ironic that the priest guy said they need to worry about the real world and not some spiritual world. Now I'm not religious but It comes across to me that All Christians want to do is make it into heaven. Contradicting much?
Do you guys see The King in this video ?? All I see is this lady talking to a ball of reddish light that flickers and comes in and out 🤟🤟🤟🤟
No, it means "the accuser." Most theologists beleive that Satan was actually just a title given to any angel chosen by God to test the faith of the human race. Kinda like a prosecuter.
That's just one view I've heard anyways.
He was on some good LSD to see a glass rise, lol.
Isabella du var så smuk og fræk😍
the priest looks more like hagrid after weight watchers than charles manson
Just in case you didn't get that message I'm leaving it now. I never said you act it out for being an animal nor that you are angry because of it. It's just that CoS says it's okay for simply being who "we" are. Anyway, thanks for clearing the confusion about your religion. Rituals though... eh eh. That's a delusion.
this guy robert...what?
Too basic of a philosophical discussion, I was a little bit disappointed. King Diamond still makes kick ass music though.
Can I point something out? If you're a satanist, that doesn't mean you worship satan...it's a religion of more or less yourself just with a different name
You christians are all alike. The word satan was around long before christianity and the bible and if you would study the subject and listen to people like King and LaVey you would have known that. I hope you will be open minded enough to do this one day

Unquestionbly according to who?? you??? the exact same accusations can me made against any other religion, your prejudice is exposed
king diamond looks more civilized/human than the priest just saying
I know your comment was over half a year ago, but I'd just like to tell you that, as a Satanist, I deeply appreciate you as a self-identified Christian at least attempting to understand Satanism.
Criticize it all you like, but at least know about what you're criticizing.
My thanks.
Is arts what is problem
what?
@mmallio nah
Is King referring to LaVayan Satanism? Sounds a lot like it, there's no actual satanism in it.
@mmallio Really? When did I say "the other side deserved hell"? That was you putting words in my mouth. That's seeing only what you expect and being utterly convinced of your own superiority. That's arrogance, my friend. I don't give a damn what you believe so long as you're not hurting yourself or someone else. You think you know the other side, but it's clear you don't..
hahaha lol he looks like captain lou albano a wrestler form the 80s in the wwf.
haha ^^
Kim Bendix Petersen is hot! All Hail King!
Or cultists for that matter?
What I meant was how they go on about it. About the whole animal thing, it is true that you consider yourself nothing more than that right?

Group think. Where is the individual now?
Really, how's that work out with muslim extremists?
Not a happy ending for you.
Looks good to me
You know why Abraham "almost did it"?, because HE LOVED GOD with all of his heart, even more than he loved his son Isaac. Yes, Cain killed Abel, and that´s why God punished him
PS -- Just what is "the other side" anyway? Don't talk of "arrogance" when you've judged someone you've never met over the Internet. That makes you just as bad as you claim someone like myself to be.
I don't care wtf people want to call it. Satanism? I call it fucking common sense.
You think ritual magic is common sense?
Yeah. Christianity is so based on "dream world" and "supernatural and not what is happening here and now".
But if you take LSD, it's Ok?? BS, these kids aren't like that
Out of sync
Yeah, i never disagreed about those statements, Honestly.. please don't think i'm so stupid that some burning churches is about real satanism. All i said it IS related to Christianity, even if they might be two different religions. I just think Satanism, as it's a religion is as stupid as any other religion
"en ting er at sige at man er satanist, og et andet er at vide hvad det er"
det samme med kristendom... -.-
I suppose if you worship anything and you truly belive in it without reference to another thing, then you probably need not explain yourself. But now that he has, King Diamond is a S(ata)Nist. I don't like A(the)NS..I am out of here! I shall become the invisible guest!
