So whats everyone's favorite King Diamond album?

[Vic Rattlehead]

I've got to go with Them. Welcome Home, Tea, The Accusation Chair, Twilight Symphony, god damn. Great riffs and lots of great solos.

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

I would probably agree, THEM is a classic.

 

[Will Bozarth]

seeing as though I only know The Puppet Master... The Puppet Master

I’m torn between Abigail & Conspiracy.

 

[Metal head87]

Abigail is easily one of the top 3 greatest albums ever released.
After Abigail, I'm torn between Fatal Portrait, Them and The Puppetmaster. I love Fatal Portrait because Michael Denner does most of the solos and I think he is a very underrated guitarist. He doesn't necessarily shred like Andy, but his solos are very emotional and has such a strong impact on the music. That's another thing I love about Abigail, his interplay with Andy is unbelievable. That solo at the end of Black Horseman is extremely powerful too.

 

[Sanctums]

Abagail, house of god, Dead Lullabies.

 

[Captain Beard]

House of God.

Damn if you want some Them songs just message me on AIM, its great stuff.

 

[Necromunchkin]

Don't Break the Oath. (Yeah, Mercyful Fate not King Diamond, but it is the best)

 

[Metal head87]

Damn if you want some Them songs just message me on AIM, its great stuff.

I love Them. It's such a strange album and it mixes almost every metal style together.

For anyone who checks it out and doesn't like it at first, you need to give it a few listens. It take time to grow on you.

Don't Break the Oath. (Yeah, Mercyful Fate not King Diamond, but it is the best)

Close enough. That album is one hell of a masterpiece. But I like Melissa slightly more. Satan's Fall is one of my favorite songs, and what other band like that would have dared to attempt a song like Melissa in 1983? That song is one of the best power ballads ever.

 

[Calamitas1786]

House of God is pretty good. Very underrated.

 

[Burning Bridges]

Them or Abigail


i would have to say abigail

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

I like the one where the King sings really high...

 

[Calamitas1786]

His makeup looks like that guy from Kiss lol haha :Smug:

 

[Metal head87]

House of God is pretty good. Very underrated.

I really like that album. Although I think Glen Drover is better in Eidolon. That guy can shred.
HOG also had one of King's best, if not THE best, concept. Voodoo was great too, so was The Graveyard and Spider's Lullabye.
The only King Diamond album I do not worship is Abigail II. I'm just not able to get into a lot of the songs off that album. The sound just sounds flat and uninspired, even though the actual material is excellent.

 

[Calamitas1786]

Abiagail is to Operation Mindcrime as Abigail 2 is to Operation Mindcrime 2.

 

[fading]

My fav. is Abigail. Although I havn't heard any of the albums after Conspiracy. Abigail is just incredible.

 

[EricT]

Does Mercyful Fate stuff count?

Otherwise, Them.

 

[Metal head87]

Abiagail is to Operation Mindcrime as Abigail 2 is to Operation Mindcrime 2.

I wouldn't go that far though. At least the music on Abigail 2 was decent. The production just made it sound uninspired. Mindcrime 2 was just a shit album.

 

[Lunar Still]

Only one I have is Abigail, but I don't listen to it very often. King Diamond never really grew much on me.
