The fact the King Diamond and Mercyful Fate aren’t as big as Iron Maiden or Metallica or as acknowledged, is a crime unto itself
It's mostly because his falsetto voice is a polarizing "love it or hate it" kind of thing.
I wholeheartedly agree, Mercyful Fate and King Diamond are leagues above anything Iron Maiden and Metallica made
his voice is the reason
The voice is one but not the only reason I think. The music itself is way more complex than IM and Metallica (enigmatic harmonies, constant rhythm changes, song structure, etc.). Yet, the lyrics are not for the mainstream metal fans IMO.
@@IgorJugulatorZotov i think it's just the vocals, but that's just my opinion also, obviously, hehe.
This album is perfect. The sound, the history, the songs...
Totally agree!!!
The album cover
My favorite KD album
Same here
💯🤘🤘
There aren't many bands in rock/metal history who's every album is a masterpiece.. King Diamond is one of them.
Mercyful Fate is the other. He is Vocalist and songwriter in both bands.🤘🤘
Yes he is.
@@edbrown6985 🤘🤘
I’d say 85% of the KD catalogue is insanely solid. There are a couple of albums I can do without, but overall he kills it.
@@sadboi7537 I agree some of the newest stuff isn't that good,I like everything up to the eye.fatal portrait is the best one.
"King Diamond" is The Stephen King of Heavy Metal. Each Album is a new Chapter of unthinkable Horror, and Many of the Characters Reappear in future Albums.

Acredito que Abigail é a personagem mais famosa do king!

Behind These Walls is a masterpiece
It's so fucking good!!!
@@SavatageIsMyReligion This whole Album is a masterpiece. So vivid in the mind , the stories in this whole concept album. Just as good as The Wall.
@@TheMarvingomez Hell yes, indeed!
@@TheMarvingomez My favorite KD album. It is indeed a master piece. My favorite song changes daily (even though "The curse" always seemed to be my #1) somedays it the eye of the witch, other days Father Piccard. just amazing work.
One of my favorite! But kd has alot of hits. Not just this album. I'm just hearing of this album like yesterday & it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌
Loved this growing up! My father introduced me to King Diamond ❤ RIP Dad
This album is a masterpiece from start to finish.. I listened to The eye of the witch in a radio station program back in 1990 and was totally blown away.. Ive never heard something so haunting before.. I am fan from that day.. It was an errie night. The whole concept of the album and the music is a like a time machine
We all know the voice is magnificent and enchanting..but the song structures are strong..
And the synths and guitar tone are top notch..
Nobody talks about how all the KD albums have wonderful artwork/paintings as albums cover. These are still very unique, back then they were really stunning and you knew it was something special by the albums cover alone.
Incredible, how many albums featuring King Diamond can be called true classics... this one, Them, Abigail, Melissa, Don't break the Oath. Hail to the King!
Все!
Fatal portrait
I love this album. I have listened to King Diamond since high school. In the 80's
I cannot get over jus how fucking amazing this album is. Omg, masterpiece is an under statement. The whole album, every song is magnificent
King is Historically accurate with every reference to Human past, each album could be a movie but too bad people don't want to deal with the fascinating dark side of the shit we believed.
I have one of those hoverboards with built in speakers and the other day I was cruising down the streets on it with this album playing. I got some interesting looks from people. lmao.
well.... After 3 Great ones, this one isn't as Good as those. I did a video on King Diamond But didn't really talk about every album fully.
You obviously need to listen to this 4 more times in a row. I PROMISE it'll be your fav
@@MetalHeart8787 WHEN THIS 1ST CAME OUT I HATED IT, EVEN WROTE KING A LETTER ALMOST SAYING THAT. NOW I FKN LOVE THIS ALBUM. THE DRUMMING IZ WAY 2 LIGHT N SO IS CONSPIRACY. NOT LIKE ABIGAIL PRODUCTION WHICH IZ INCREDIBLE.
The best guitar work in the world!! Incredible and very creative, king diamond rules!!!! Awesome!!!!
Whether " Mercyful Fate " or " King Diamond", King Diamond has Never put out a bad Album!!!!!!!!( 18) IS ( 9)
I agree,never.
@@edbrown6985 🤘🤘
The production on this album is Crystal clear ☆ to me the EYE is kind diamond's cleanest album
Electric drums. Snowy Shaw was disappointed that for his first recording with KD that King wanted to use the electric drums.
This is the album that got me into the king at 15yrs old
Same! but I was a bit younger than that
My dad got me into this when I was 6. This was late 90's. Scared the shit out of me but never turned back. King Diamond and Mercyful Fate are my favorite bands
Interesting, this is the album that got me hooked too. I would have shied away from his other works but this was sublime.
ha, them got me into it at like 14... it was 1989 and my friend showed me i was hooked instantly.. then the eye came out.. still my fav KD album
That late ? Lol jk bro that’s awesome my dad is a huge metal head so I came out the womb listening to these guys, Megadeth, And my favorite Pantera... as well as so many more now I’m 26 🤙🏻🤘🏻
Many thanks to the guys at Metal Blade for these wonderful releases. I already have those remasters released in 1997, but these ones are in perfect original sound quality. Everything very clean and audible. I bought all King's CDs and both Mercyful's studio cds. I thank you from my heart...thank you \,,/ \,,/
I bought "They Eye" on cassette during the Winter of 1991. Since then and every time I listen to it I feel again like 10 years old. Brrr, the Eye has powers indeed! Long live Kim!
Stop supporting North Korea!
Бриллиантовые слова!!!
SAME … was my first album …. Brings me back to those ass kicking youthful days
me too!
@@deaf2demands706 I’m 45
This album, like all of King Diamond, is spectacular, but personally it's one of my favorites by King.
I'm 52 , heard MF in highschool , the king still kicks ass today
I'm 49. Totally agree.
Saw King in '05.
Best show I'd ever attended.
Loved him since the 80's.🤘❤️☠️
Same here. I'm 53
I had this album on cassette tape when I was about 13 yrs old. One of my favourite.
Same here. Dropped a few months after my 13th birthday. Put some miles on this in the old Walkman.
The KING of Metal.
" Behind These Walls" is a Masterpiece. 😎🤘🤘
'Father Picard' rules 🤘
@Empyreal War Demon Is Father Picard REALLY A FRIEND?!?!?
it should last for 6-7 minutes, but maybe it would lose its magic. But you are absolutely right. Can't resist the gothic/baroque vibe , so very much France XVIIth C. and so much Metal.
@@tythealkemist9856 The Bible in her hands, reminds her of the wine, the sour tasting blood of Christ... WHAT’S GOING ON??
Father Picard is so well written🤘🥃🥃
ìts catholic welcome
@@trinitymatrix9719 Its alcoholic well come...
And go sleep...
My favorite song on this masterpiece!🤘🏽
Этот альбом был у меня на аудиокассете. Это примерно 1993 год. Офигенный , шагающий вместе со временем , хэвиметал . Очень настольгические композиции
Этот альбом до сих пор есть у меня на фирменном компакте. Года с 96го.
А на компашке тогда не имел этот альбом?)))
I Love every King Diamond Band Album & Every Mercyful Fate Album. All So Fuking Great musicians.
One of the imfamous classics from THE KING
Великолепный
альбом!!!
Просто-УГАР!!!
i don't understand but i probably agree
Да! Музычка прикольная. 17лет было мне, тогда!
@@Freewheel_Burning your comment is gold!
@@maritzaretief367 😁
El mejor álbum del Rey Diamante sin dudas. The best album ever.
Comparto opinión
I can't argue.🤘🤘🤘🤘
i don't understand but i probably agree
Another Masterpiece from the King of Metal
I agree. THIS is heavy metal! As opposed to Ozzie Osburn.
Ive always gone through phases in music and I always come back to King and its like a new adventure all over. Thank You King
This album is legendary
Halloween это хорошо
Sending a few thousand ((HUGS)) to those responsible for bringing this Masterpiece to our ears....because that is how many times it has lifted my Spirits!!!
Hands down the best King album. A true masterpiece.
DISCAZO !!!! ME ACOMPAÑA DESDE LOS 19 AÑOS AMO EL TEMA INSANITY!!!!!! ME PARECE UNA OBRA MAESTRA!!!!!
40 years. King has given us just short of 40 years of amazing music. Not forgetting Denner, Sherman, Ruzz, LaRoque, Weed, MICKY DEE!!, Snowy Shaw, DeAngelo, Mighty Matt Thompson...etc. Not to mention the bond with Metallica
And Timi Hansen🙏
Your fucking done
And Pete Blakk and Hal Patino
And Michael moon (abigail in concert)
Insanity is truly a MASTERPIECE.
That's my favorite !
I melt every time I hear tasty arpeggios like that
❤
Perfect album to listen to in the woods on this Fall day.
Perfect Album to listen to deep inside an ancient Cemetery at midnight on a moonless, windy, cold evening.
Insanity is such a beautiful song! The best song on the album IMO
Masterpiece...HAIL THE KING! \m/
Killer album !!!!!! Hail 👑 king !!!!
These were good days!! It was a good time to be a metalhead.
golden age of metal music
Sadly i wasnt alive back then
Let me tell you something , it is
always a good time to be a
Metalhead ! Once a Metalhead ,
always a Metalhead !
I've been one since 1980 where
I discovered KISS and AC/DC
as a young child🤘
Im a metalhead now and i will always be. Best time is NOW
@@badmotorfinger2206 Yeah one of the Good things Bands released Albums more often, every year or sometimes skipping just 1 year.
I did a Video on King Diamond please check it out sometime.
What a incredible album , wow. Masterpiece
The Curse. OMG! That is an amazing song! Long Live The King! ;)
As the descendant of a accused “Salem witch” I appreciate this whole album.
🙄
The main guitar riff of The Trial is so evil sounding. Andy LaRocque is super underrated.
The True Metal aficionados know " Andy Larocque is on a Whole other level of Guitar Skills. Pete Blakk also Amazing, Michael Denner, and Hank Sheeman also Awesome Axemen.
My first King Diamond album back in middle school. Still my favorite.
Mine was Abigail.
В 91 лежа на диване ,слушая этот альбом и читая переводы, я чуть с ума не спятил. Мне было 15. Теперь с того времени на моём среднем пальце присутствует знак КД.
Понимаю ) А у меня копия этого кулона присутствует )
One of my favourite metal-album! In my Top-10... Long Live King!
i was 19 i when listened to this. I turned 41 yestarday. Guess what? i still listen to King and I cant get enough. My wish is simple - i want more people recognize THIS. please!
I was 16 years old ..... on a cassette witch the eye and fatal portaits on b side.... i play thousands of times........ now i have 2 technics 1200 mk2 and sounds lovely .... king diamond is the kind... behinds this walls is too too gooddddd
same here: side A Fatal Portrait and side B The Eye. ))
Are the new albums sound like the original ones? Because I want to buy the eye. I have an original copy of fatal portrait, which I found many years ago in a used record shop, and it sounds awesome.
King Diamond's story time is my all time favorite! \m/
this album is the most spectacular album of King Diamond..Insanity is a masterpiece...the Meetings at 31:07 is a masterpiece of speed metal drums and guitar ECSTASY
may your souls rest jean dibasson and madelaine bavent. these women were killed by those priests. this recording is the best storytelling album ever made. father picard is also a real person that lived in witch hunts.
I think your wrong mate... madelaine died in jail
Great album, takes a few listens to "get it," when it finally dawns on you how simply amazing it really is...
Listening to this brings back memories of when I first heard it. Magical day that was. One of my favorite albums for sure.
Got this the day it was released and was very happy🎉
I can listen to this kind of shit all day long! It feeds my inner beast and put me in my focus/trance/concentrated metal mode. Good for the writing and general working.
INSANITY.......there are no words to explain this serenity of mind that it gives...unless the end of it.......LEGENDARY piece...LEGENDARY album
Had this in vinyl when i was a young man. Solid LP. Insanity though is one of the most beautiful instrumentals i have ever heard in my life.
This album always had KD’s most consistent and strong songwriting. No filler unlike some of the other records. It actually gets better with age.
I’m more of an extreme metal guy but I got to see KD live a few years ago and they absolutely ruled! They did a live witch burning and had a giant pentagram hanging in the back. The guitar tone was album quality as well.
Well Metal Sucks did rate Melissa and DBTO as the top 2 Extreme Metal albums of all time. What say you. I say it's mostly a pioneer nod because King got so dark he was on the "Filthy Fifteen" as one of two bands mentioned as "occult" alongside Venom; those 2 really inspired so much metal post debut albums.
Is that a reach or can you kind of see it? I'm not arguing with you, I just want to hear your opinion!
@@tythealkemist9856, no I would not consider KD extreme metal. I think they contributed a lot to develop the culture that would later spawn it though. When I think of extreme metal it needs to meet a certain aesthetic. Harsh vocals, whether they are deep growls (ex. Deicide) or higher pitched shrieks (ex Dark funeral), fast tempo and blast beats. Heavy guitar crunching or maelstrom tremolo riffs.
Excellent and insightful exchange..good job you two \,,,/ \,,,/ \,,,/
That's because Andy is the best guitarist in the whole wide fucking world. Live or not, the boy is bad
@@stevenhodges6039 Yes, andy La roque is my fave
What a great and historical album.
Absolutely brilliant! 🔥
A jewel of an album!!..King Diamond Forever!! Greetings of a Rocker/Metalhead friend based in SANTIAGO, CHILE, SOUTH AMERICA for all Rockers/Metalheads of the Planet EARTH!! 🇨🇱☺️🍻🍺🥧🎂🤘🤓🍰🎵👢👿🎼💀🎸👏🤟🔊😁🤔🎤🧢🎧🤩🎹🇨🇱
i love this album
Thanks for posting this. I mean it. One of my elected from the King's royal pantry; I remember that back in late 1990, most of the big Metal mags in Europa responded '''meh'', with instances of 3-star reviews, obviously neglecting its uniqueness in the KD's gallery of masterpieces that decade. Bought the album at once and I was like '' have they gone deaf and dumb in the head?'' - but then I reckoned/remembered they had their very own up their rears, drooling over prettyboyhairmetal... not mentioning any names, but you know who they were. To quote Trouble,''...all is forgiven''. The Opus has outlived the scorn and spite.
I was about 11 when I first heard this and I was hooked I was into metal anyway but my God this took it to a whole other level for me . I love the king.
I have one of those hoverboards with built in speakers and the other day I was cruising down the streets on it with this album playing. I got some interesting looks from people. lmao.
Killer killer album ! I was a teen in the late 90s when I first got the pleasure to listen to this masterpiece, full of magic, bewitching, seducing with it's dark medieval noctural atmosphere ! Cheers from Morocco.
Great album.Reminds me Abigail,the first one.Wonderful songs,excellent musicians,creative lyrics.Some parts remembers me Savatage.Enjoy it and bang your head!
Behind these walls my favorite song \\m//
Он ПРОСТО ЧУМА В СВОЕМ СТИЛЕ, НЕ ПОВТОРИМ И НЕОБЫЧЕН, ОН ПРОСТО КРУТ, Я познакомился вначале с абигейл, а потом далее, но этот альбом это ВЗРЫВ, ЭТО ЛУЧШЕЕ, что он когда то создал, мастер - ВИКИНГ.!!!
Я с 1991г знаю этот альбом, каждый раз когда слушаю "волос дыбом"
Послушай "" Могильный двор""96год.
@@user-fr7bd3ct8k гравеярд и в подмётки не годится творчеству 87- 90... даже колыбельная паука -круче гравеярда. Имхо.
"Them" and "The Eye" are King's best albums for sure...
They are all Great, I pick [ " Abigail" & " Fatal Portrait"] I wish I could listen to " The Institute" " Masquerade of Madness " is Awesome!!!
Absolutely!!! I don't see the big deal about Abigail? The eye an Them have his best vocals and guitar solos.
The trial and behind these walls..2 of my all time faves
it is logic. hahaha. Great , great ,great songs
The solos are magic. Except for Pink Floyd I never heard anything like this.

The last unique album of the King. The golden first 5 albums.
No Spiders Lullabye was great and House of God I enjoy more than The Eye
@@markpalavosvrahotes5575 cause you are young and amateur
The Graveyard is good as well
But not better than "The Puppet Master" !
Of course its better, old fans knows...
I bought this cassette in early 90's...gosh how time passed by...
You don't say. I still remember my younger self reading the lyrics from the folding leaflet of the cassette, and looking at the drawings. I was 17 and never saw anything like this before.

I got this K.D. The Eye CD for free because it was the only thing the then-newfangled CD shop around the corner even HAD to sell my dad his new fancy-shmancy SONY hi-fi CD player station . And I ended up ripppin' up King Diamond and Mercyful Fate for the rest of my M-f'n' life!
This is the album that got me into metal back in high school. \m/
this IS the best album of kingdiamond 👍
Было много великих произведений, но для меня это вершина, целостность работы поражает.
Behind these walls is amazing
💯🤘🤘
Super album 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
Вещь! Шикарная!
I heard this album after the Grayeyard album and was totally reeled in and blown away! That was like 20 over years ago. Been loving Kd stuff ever since.
Already in the opening song....a solo starts with alien sounding tunes then the seamless transition at 2:15. Gets me every time. EDIT: actually...the guitar tunes are absolutely out of this world. Andy and Pete are wizards.
That's the first album I've got when it came out and I listened to it so much that I think I wear the tape until it break. Later I found a original copy of fatal portrait in a record shop, and I think I will buy myself a new copy of the other albums, with the older merciful faith ones too.
I don't listen to metal that much anymore, except for brilliant albums, like this.
Damn, That ending line in The Trial gives me chills every time lol "can you tell me WHERE'S THE PROOF..? ? ?" It really is one of the most powerful questions (imo) anyone can ever ask regarding claims and assertions. ESPECIALLY, "extraordinary" claims..
Just brilliant lyric writing and story telling. And conveyance of emotions. But I'm genuinely extra sensitive about music 😂 I've tried to get some friends to wrap their minds around this album's brilliance, Some have "liked" it, But not like me lol. I think a lot of more "normal" ears have a hard time adjusting to the falsettos so it sets them back a bit. Not me tho 🤣 when I first heard KD playing in the background on a radio station, I stopped in my tracks, walked over with my ears and mind totally glued, sat down and just listened until the song was over. It was "Arrival". For me, it genuinely was a profound moment of discovery lol.
Masterpiece! Thanks King, Andy, Snowy, Pete, Hal and Robert!
A masterpiece. So many memories... all Hail the King!
Hell Yes.☝️☝️🤘🤘
"The Curse" could possibly be the coolest KD tune ever.
☠️ I feel like so many people overlook his actual band and his great musicians because he's so great
Remember when different genres of music actually did solos
All hail the King 💎
Insanity and the curse my favorytes of this masterpiece album the Eye from the master King.wooow!!!
That Burn solo performed with violin is recalcitrant King Diamond the best about males 🤘💯🔥🤘
King is a countertenor, the rarest type of voice in the world. He is definitely my all time favorite singer!
Nah, he's just doing falsetto (pretty good falsetto).
Fake News. He is a tenor, not a countertenor. He uses falsetto, usually between C5 to F#5.
@@ElderDragonBrasil Yep, you're right.
Greatest Metal Vocalist on The Planet. Also Love Tate, Halford, Dio( RIP)🙏 and John Tardy in Death Metal.🤘
