Isn't it amazing that King Diamond can do the Opera singing, the voice of the Grandmother, Missy's voice, King as a child, the Amon demon voices, sometimes all in a single song? AND could do it all live before the CV era, AND at age 65? Some people have talent that is almost inhuman.
Denmark is a small ass country. And I heard that Kim,The King, practiced his voice since he was like really young. Since like 13-14 years of age. I could tell u the story but I dunno how much is fact and how much is ficton. However thats about the same age that I started listening to Mercyful and The King. Btw I still listen to this day and now I`am 48...
In my opinion, this is the great King Diamond's album, your masterpiece!! Mikkey Dee, a monster. Andy LaRocque is one the my fav guitar player of all time. King Diamond rules!!
I was 13 when I saw Judas Priest at the US Festival in 1983 and I stood right next to a strange person telling me about this new, upcoming metal band with a vocalist that wore KISS makeup and sang opera/metal music (I laughed, as I thought that KISS sucks) The band was called MERCYFUL FATE and the vocalist was KING DIAMOND. 40 years later, this guy is popular world wide!!!
This album was simply amazing!! One of my favorites, I'm 55 and I remember seeing King at Harpo's when I was 20!!! He still sounds like he did then!! Maybe even better!!! He has the best musicians!! Love his whole Crew!! 😁✌️👍🤘🤘🤘🔥
Yeah it's addicting, it's what really lured me into rediscovering King Diamond again. I had known him and would listen to this with my older cousin but I was 5yrs-7yrs old. This shit kicks ass I don't care what anyone says.
In addition to its extraordinary songs, Conspiracy also has one of the best guitar tones of all time and one of the best drum sounds I've ever heard. Extraordinary album, a timeless masterpiece!
Amazing album. When I hear King diamond I think immediately of haunted forest, mansion, ghost, paranormal stuff. I love it. To be able to give me these imaginary through music, what talented musician.
Absolutely. Just gives off those vibes in spades. Id usually despise this type of provolone but ill admit, since '85 I've been a fan. Our old drummer on out band got me into him plus Z Rock came on our airwaves in '87ish and played KD constantly. Just takes me back to a way better time/era in music, being a budding musician and better times in life in general. People seemed better..not the madness like today. When you look at that face on this album and it reminds you of more 'sane' times....lol. you know its bad..
Having bought the first four King Diamond albums when they came out, I could not have known that 30 years later I would still appreciate this music more and more with each listen. Each song is a masterpiece in itself. The songwriting, storytelling, vocals, musicianship, the mix of horror with comedy, pure genius.
I have to admit that I belong to the group of people who do fall asleep to it. I actually intentionally listen to this marvellous album on when I want to relax as I do with Genesis's "selling Englad by the pound" for instance. There are many albums that have a soothing effect on me. The best laid plans is when I doze off finally during the creepy but beautiful cremation! Haunting. When I am too tired, I am fast asleep during "sleepless nights"!
This is prime Diamond! I was 16 yrs old and about 3 hours into an acid trip when I got hear this for the first time and it really was a pivotal experience in my life, to say the least. My brain was turned on super-human, enhanced experiential mode and I disappeared into my head for what seemed like a really long time. I don't ever remember the CD ending but I remembered other things I did that night as well. Anyway, I just remember having these really intense visuals of King and other made up creatures throughout and it was pretty frightening but what was really freaky cool was the auditory enhancement while listening to this! I guess typically you wouldn't really think that acid and King Diamond would mix well and was probably a bad idea. At least for me, it really wasn't like a conscious decision but I don't necessarily regret it either. People usually think of music like Pink Floyd or maybe jam bands or whatever but I really had an awesome experience on acid with King. And this music kicks ass without any drugs to begin with too! Pretty great stuff!
You are my new best friend I also love listening to intense metal on acid like King, Mercyful Fate, Slayer, and cannibal corpse on acid! I'm a freak lols ❤️ Lucifer Satan Devil 😈
I feel sorry for you,@Kieli Mies, and I can assure you that did not happen. It's evident to me, by your vocabulary, that you have absolutely no idea what "substance users" experience; let alone trippin balls with King. Besides that, why are you even here if you're so confident that your life is the objective reality you claim? I'm not saying you shouldn't be here. It's just kinda odd that you would be, if you don't even believe in "THEM".
Right on brotha! @@billychrobam8461 If you haven't listened to Igorrr or Rings of Saturn yet, check em out! It's not the same as the old school but they are both pretty great. But.... Can you do....?? the Milano.... Mosh!!
This is The Best King Diamond album BUT BY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR !!!! Impossible to compare with any other KG albums. This is his best album but for Scandal !!! 100000000000000000000/10
I cannot fathom how great this Band is. Timeless, The King Himself, perfect guitars, perfect vocals, perfect drums, perfect bass and a kickass background singer, simply awe inspiring. Everything just clicks like it was summoned by black magic. King Diamond is a true metal God, that walks amongst us mere mortals. All hail the one and only true King!
Sleepless nights...Man i still remember the first time i heard it back in 1989. I was a teenager just discovering metal music and everything sounded and looked so impressive. Thank you King!
Victimized is just a megahit...one of my favorite since 89, when I heard for the first time... sure the final cremation is a mindblower... love this album!
He and Stryper played a few gigs back in '89, and surprisingly, King had gotten along really well with members of LA glam band and Christian rockers, Stryper! I had always thought that this was cool! I was, and still am, HUGE fan of both King Diamond and Stryper!!! Metal rules!!!
Saw King in Brooklyn On October 30 2024, He was incredible. His bands kicks ass. I've been seeing him live for 40 years now and he just gets better and better...
Since I'm in a metal mood, I figured that I might as well listen to a King Diamond album for the first time. EDIT- 8:37 P.M.: *finishes album 49 minutes later* I'm glad that picked "Conspiracy". It was...incredible! 😁👏
Hunter richie why must you say the typical follow the crowd thing.youbcould have said the other king diamond band rather than the better.are you worried he may form an opinion of his own and favor king diamond.its the same dude.kind diamonds guitars are far superior .that's a fact.old Hank has his style and the other merciful fate gtr plyr is in king diamond.so I just thought I'd let you know if you stopped and thought about your comment before posting it you might have realized that.maybe it's because your so metal that youve researched and looked into it a little bit and that all there is to it.ive heard that so many times from people that heard there friend say it so they did . ..to get specific merciful fate has an iron maiden ish rockin roll kinda vibe to it.kinda silly sounding guitar parts that keep it that way.its hanks guitar sound and writing that keep it that way.king diamond has two of the best if not the best guitar players in all of metal.there for the music is metal and is always metal.
I swear this guys music is from another dimension. Great story teller through out all of his albums. They really need to make movies out of his albums, they are freaking genius. Hail to the King.
Abigail, Them,Conspiracy y The eye...los mejores fe King🙏🙏🙏🙏...pero a partir del Graveyard...me sonar empezaron a sonar todos sus discos igual....Qué paso gigante banda de rock?😔
I just found my new album to obsess over. As someone who got into metal music a little later in life than others, I'm always finding a new love for bands that others grew up on, and I'm ashamed I haven't found this sooner
I love this album by too many things; but what totally blew my mind when I discovered this when I was 14 6 years ago, was at the end of the brutal story after all the musical greatness, Cremation. My mind was in other world after that, and when I saw how the main riff represents the flames and the rest of the instrumental carries the intensity of someone burning alive in a coffin, going more and more intense and infernal with that end to represent the death and the rising of a soul full of revenge ready to haunt.... Man, this is G O L D. I will never forget the show in front row in the Resurrection Fest, I hope see this legends come to Spain to see them for another time in my life.
One of the best metal albums ever recorded. Every second of this album is pure masterpiece. I`ve had been listening it for over 10+ years, and cant get enough of it. So musical and emotional, and i wont talk about how technical it is to perform such a songs. Every musician here is high class. Long live the king! \m/
I dimly recall hearing KD as a kid and thinking it was the goofiest thing I'd ever heard. Now, some 20+ years later (with a little help from Volbeat) I find this to be the most badass thing ever. Funny what the years will do to you. This album is probably my favorite, and one of the few I could find on CD.
I remember first time i ever heard kd was mercyful fate i was in junior high or high school back in 80s. I still laugh my ass off when i listen to his music. I f-ing love it even more now!
@@bengillen1287 If you haven't already, i recommend listening to Outlaw Gentlemen and Shady Ladies all the way through. I think that's their best album.
@@williamerickson520 Interesting, when I saw King Diamond at Fortarock in 2016, Volbeat played there too that day, and two of the band members were in the crowd watching the King Diamond show.
There is certainly an element of humor, theatrics, and yes possibly even goofiness, to this music. And rightly so. Metal should never take itself too seriously.
I'm only going to say this once more please stop nitpicking Kings live vocals any of of you naysayers couldn't hold a candle to him he's amazing period I'm 56 and still holding my own vocaly too
@@jamestorres9464 who's nitpicking anyones vocals here? and why would you post this comment under this guys original post that had nothing to do with nitpicking his vocals. and what would you do anyways? tell king what he said. and then what?
i guess it s an unpopular opinion-but i agree,"them" is the best,followed by abigail and fatal portrait. "them" is the most melodic album and the most untypical-but this is exactly why i love it although the sound is horrible and the guitars sound too weak. in fact i like all of the albums,"the eye" is a bit behind the rest
Holy shit! King Diamond had a birthday the other day?!? I just thought he always existed since the beginning of time! I love you King! Can't tell you how much listening to "Them" and "Conspiracy" made my youth and helped me through some hard times! Happy Birthday, King Diamond!!!!
All King Diamond albums are MASTERPIECES!!.. He never has put out a bad album!!.. KING DIAMOND FOREVER!!.. Greetings of a Chilean Rocker/Metalhead friend based in SANTIAGO, CHILE, SOUTH AMERICA for all Rockers/Metalheads of the Planet EARTH!! 🇨🇱☺️🍻🍺🥧🎂🤘🔊😁👿👢🎵🍰🤓🤟👏🎸💀🎼🤔🎤🧢🎧🤩🎹🇨🇱
"It must be summer the sky is clear the garden is so beautiful all the flowers and all the trees make me feel like they're inside of me. I'm holding my sisters hand while we're playing in the sand...its all but a dream...ahh ahh" the most romantically terrifying part of this album.
This is my first time ever listening to king diamond and I’ve been a metal head since 6th grade. Man I’m loving this first track! Hope the rest of this album is as good🔥 definitely will be getting some merch
Awesome!!! How did you like it?? Check out his other band Mercyful Fate as well, especially the albums Melissa and Don't Break the Oath. They're metal masterpieces and some of the first Black Metal as well
My king he was introduction to metal this is kinda of emotional to me, me and my father on just lying on the cold floor listening to King Diamond, among other albums in his collection King was my favorite
I'm waiting for my copies of them, abigail and conspiracy to arrive, the eye release is next week so that one will arrive last, already got fatal portrait, abigail is my second copy but I really wanna compare with my MOV lp reissue, Metal Blade makes the best LP packages nowadays and the price is always consistent and fair, keep it that way guys!
Andy's solo in A Visit from the Dead is EPIC! So dialed in, love his work. In my top 5 for sure. Does he ever play a stinker solo? One of the few guys who just lays it down song after song.
I really like the sound. I have all King's albums, most of them are the kinda loud Road-Runner remasters. I'm considering of buying some of these new Metal Blade re-releases, Conspiracy for sure!
![Metallica - ...And Justice for All [Full Album with Bass]](/img/n.gif)
You cannot understate just how fantastic the guitar work is. Absolutely brilliant.
... and their production! I think there was a separate producer for the guitars. My favorite guitar solos are all on this album.
Pete Blakk makes a small glitch on 3:59 but I still love that solo :D
and you cant imagine the drumms work...fenomenal thing
The production quality seems to be top notch on this album. They all sound good but this is perfection.
the sole reason i prefer king diamond over mercyful fate is andy larocque.
King is still kicking ass in 2024 !! Hail the King !
Hoping to see him in November!

All these years later and I still can’t stop listening to this… sleepless nights stays stuck in my head lol.
Still sounds fresh and interesting till this day. That heavy breakdown in Sleepless Nights though 🤘
I always thought king would have done a movie what an awesome consept maybe someday
"It must be summer the sky is clear the garden is so beautiful all the flowers and all the trees make me feel like they're inside of me. I'm holding my sisters hand while we're playing in the sand...its all but a dream...ahh ahh" the most romantically terrifying part of this album.
KING DIAMOND FOREVER 💎
Moje mládí a nyní moje stáří....😇😃
Не знаю почему, но кинг даймонд реально ЛУЧШИЙ!!!!
This is my first time ever listening to king diamond and I’ve been a metal head since 6th grade. Man I’m loving this first track! Hope the rest of this album is as good🔥 definitely will be getting some merch
Awesome!!! How did you like it?? Check out his other band Mercyful Fate as well, especially the albums Melissa and Don't Break the Oath. They're metal masterpieces and some of the first Black Metal as well
@@Headbanger9000 Melissa is the best.
My second favorite. Number one will always be The Eye. All hail to the King \m/ \m/
Every time I listen to this, it gets better and better.
A good present on my b-day. For me, this is the best album from him, so much emotions and the guitar work it is flawless.
SO GLAD I'VE GOT TO SEE HIM LIVE TWICE ...GOOD SHOWMAN..GREAT MUSIC ...
They are Great live.
This one and TYR with Black Sabbath must be some of the most wicked music out there.
Как же это шедевральною!!!!!!!!!!
One of my first heavy metal albums I bought. Still rocks.
The ultimate band for the month of October.
One of the most underrated bands in existence. Guitar work rivalling the best!
класс! слушать Кинга мне очень нравилось)у меня буклет кассеты был с текстами песен и комиксами на их тему👍
a melhor série de álbuns "contadores de histórias" no metal de todos os tempos.
Qlt nad qlty, szacun dla tej kapeli 👍🇵🇱💪
My king he was introduction to metal this is kinda of emotional to me, me and my father on just lying on the cold floor listening to King Diamond, among other albums in his collection King was my favorite
Any album would be a perfect movie score!! 💀💀💀💀💀
I've been bragging about King Diamond since the 80:s
His best album? I won't say. My favourite? Totally.
The Best album , King forever
I'm waiting for my copies of them, abigail and conspiracy to arrive, the eye release is next week so that one will arrive last, already got fatal portrait, abigail is my second copy but I really wanna compare with my MOV lp reissue, Metal Blade makes the best LP packages nowadays and the price is always consistent and fair, keep it that way guys!
It is as masterpiece, no question.
King Diamond delivered us 4 complete Masterpieces:
Abigail
Them
The Eye
And this one, Conspiracy
Without a doubt, "One of the best King Diamond records".
You know that hair that grows on coco-nuts? Thats what Kings moustache reminds me of! Great album!
Just came back to this masterpiece!! At every new listen it gets better!! Hail to the King!!!!!
Охрененный альбом, охрененный вокал, инструменты,собрал все его альбомы... Как же он заводит придаёт силы!!!
Andy's solo in A Visit from the Dead is EPIC! So dialed in, love his work. In my top 5 for sure. Does he ever play a stinker solo? One of the few guys who just lays it down song after song.
Best production and I would say best compositions, especially the first 3 tracks!
That first lead note in "At the Graves" is up there with the first lead note in "Freewheel Burning" on Priest Live.
I really like the sound. I have all King's albums, most of them are the kinda loud Road-Runner remasters. I'm considering of buying some of these new Metal Blade re-releases, Conspiracy for sure!
King'in bu albümü, benim için ço önemlidir. Gerçi King Diamond'ın tüm albümlerini sevsem de "Conspracy" benim için ayrı bir değer taşır.
Pamiętam niebo nie błękitne lecz z pomarańczowości przechodzące bardziej w purpurę
This was my intro to King Diamond. Saw this concert in Germany in 89. That concert was also my intro to Savatage.
This album and Them are both masterpieces. In my opinion. All the other comments pretty much said it all.
This is one of my favorite king diamond album's, and them and Abigail was good to.
One of my go to halloween albums( along with all others of his of course ) but this is my favorite album. Absolute masterpiece
🤟⚡🤟 King Diamond también se escucha en Lima Perú
MASTERPIECE OF KING.
This is a clasic Masterpiece of metal music! All hails the king!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Man. Cremation just gives me chills.
In addition to singing, each album and song has its own story.
That's why it's called King!!!
Wow 20 years ago I didnt listen at KD.. so emotional and nostalgic
