KING DIAMOND of course is the legendary heavy metal band known for its theatrical stage performances, powerful vocals, and dark, horror-inspired lyrics.
Formed by and named after iconic Danish frontman King Diamond, the band blends traditional heavy metal with elements of shock rock, creating a unique and unforgettable sound. With their dramatic storytelling, blistering guitar riffs, and King's signature falsetto, they have become one of the most influential and respected acts in the metal scene, captivating fans worldwide since the early 1980s.
Last night the band debuted a brandnew song, "Electro Therapy", at their performance at the Boing Center at Tech Port. in San Antonio, Texas.
KING DIAMOND's previous statement about the current tour:
"This is Saint Lucifer's Hospital. Enter if you dare!
We have been busy putting this ever-growing horror story together, and it's still growing. I know the end of it, but how we will get there will be a long trip. There are so many characters, and so many unexpected things along this journey. It's a crazy family on another timeline in 1920, where I experienced some hard times, and they have to come to our time to steal from us to survive. This is the most elaborate thing we have ever done, that goes for the stage production as well.
There will be additional backing vocals by Myrkur and she'll be playing organ for songs that need it. There will be some horrific surprises taking place on stage, but we are not to be held responsible since we are on a whole different timeline in 1920. It was back at the time when medicine was going through a dark period with lots of testing on human beings in order to progress medicine.
This is Saint Lucifer's Hospital, also known as The Institute. Enter if you dare!"
