Kim Bendix Petersen (born 14 June 1956), a.k.a. King Diamond is a Danish Heavy Metal singer who fronts Mercyful Fate, as well as a solo band. He is highly critical of religion, and is an atheist in real life. note He is a follower of Anton LaVey's Satanism philosophy, which is not to be confused with actual Satan worship, but is actually atheistic individualism combined with "ceremony and ritual". His live performances include wearing black and white face paint with inverted crosses, as well as using a microphone handle consisting of a femur bone and a tibia bone in the shape of an inverted cross. His own vocal style is another distinguishing aspect of his performance, for its range from low to unhumanly high pitch levels, as well as the often over the top deliveries.Before forming his own bands, he previously played in the Hard Rock band Black Rose, and the Punk Rock band Brats. With Mercyful Fate and his solo band, he became known for producing comprehensive and groundbreaking Heavy Metal Concept Albums (pretty much every release by both bands).To mainstream audiences, King Diamond is best known through Metallica's "Mercyful Fate" medley (and he would later appear in their own Guitar Hero), and the inclusion of his songs in Clerks II by King Diamond fan Kevin Smith (the admiration is mutual).Influences:David Byron, Ian Gillan, Robert Plant, Geddy Lee, Alice Cooper, Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio, Ozzy Osbourne Mercyful Fate Albums Melissa (1983) Don't Break the Oath (1984) In the Shadows (1993) Time (1994) Into the Unknown (1996) Dead Again (1998) 9 (1999) King Diamond Albums Fatal Portrait (1986) Abigail (1987) "Them" (1988) Conspiracy (1989) The Eye (1990) The Spider's Lullabye (1995) The Graveyard (1996) Voodoo (1998) House of God (2000) Abigail II: The Revenge (2002) The Puppet Master (2003) Give Me Your Soul...

Curse of the Pharaoh | |
| King Diamond (Music) / int_133c2f24 | comment |
Curse of the Pharaoh: They have a song named "Curse of the Pharaohs", which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. The lyrics are basically a warning that anyone who disturbs the dead pharaohs of Egypt, like stealing from them, will be hit with a deadly curse. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Somewhat in Give Me Your Soul... Please, namely the final track "Moving On", as the girl (searching for a soul for her brother) decides, that King's soul is not good, says she's "moving on to THIS house", implying the listener's house. | |

Progressive Metal: While some of Mercyful Fate's tunes have elements of this (non-standard song structures and Epic Rocking), and they were a major influence on a lot of early progressive metal acts, his solo albums fit more into this category, especially his concept albums. | |

Album Intro Track | |

Album Intro Track: * Several of his solo albums have an intro track, i.e. "Funeral" from Abigail (and similarly it's continuation "Spare This Life" from Abigail II: The Revenge), "Out from the Asylum" from "Them", "Upon the Cross" from House of God... Mercyful Fate meanwhile avoid this for the most part. The sole exception is "Lucifer" from Into the Unknown. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| King Diamond (Music) / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Pretty frequent in his work, but the Lafayettes from Voodoo stand out; hell, the entire chain of events in that album's story could have been avoided if they weren't dicks and hadn't tried to destroy a perfectly benign voodoo burial ground just because it made them uncomfortable. It was mostly the loud late-night drumming, which made them uncomfortable. Because it's completely easy to sleep, when somebody is drumming just outside your window. | |

Stage Names | |
| King Diamond (Music) / int_ae50ca8f | comment |
Stage Names: Listing both King Diamond and Mercyful Fate members: King Diamond (Kim Bendix Petersen), Hank Shermann (René Krolmark), Sharlee D'Angelo (Charles Andreason), Snowy Shaw (Tommie Helgesson, though he legally changed the name), Mike Wead (Mikael Vikström), Andy LaRocque (Anders Allhage), Mikkey Dee (Micael Kiriakos Delaoglou), Mike Moon (Mikael Myllynen)... Timi Hansen briefly went under the name Timi Grabber, but quickly reverted to his real name after it turned out people didn't understand, where it came from (he got it from his bass, the Gibson Grabber). According to an interview with Hank Shermann, Kim Ruzz was also just that drummer's stage name, but nobody seems to remember what his real name was. note It's Kim Thyge Jensen. | |

Fate Worse than Death | |
| King Diamond (Music) / int_b1346878 | comment |
Fate Worse than Death: The Puppet Master takes the cake. The protagonist and his lover are turned into puppets by titular puppet master, separated and not knowing if they will ever see each other again as she is sent to a different theatre. | |

Demoted to Extra: Mikkey Dee on Conspiracy. He left the band after the tour for Them was over, but King called him back to at least lay down the drum tracks for one more album, as he was not satisfied with his initial replacement Chris Whitemier. | |

Bedlam House: Devil Lake Sanitarium in Spider's Lullabye. Black Hill Sanitarium in Graveyard might be this, or at least the protagonist seem to think so. Of course, he is crazy, but it is implied that it was the asylum that made him that way. Grandma returns from one in "Them" and King spends nine years (according to extra notes) in one between events of "Them" and Conspiracy. It's never explicitly mentioned if they are one and the same, though they most likely are. | |

Protagonist's home in Give Me Your Soul... Please, though it's unclear if it was originally haunted, or only becomes so during the album's story. The eponymous church in House of God is either this or a Haunted Castle. | |

Cut Short: Demo version of Mercyful Fate's "A Corpse Without Soul", which was included on Return of the Vampire. The band had to constantly restart recording the song, as somebody always screwed up. As they were growing more and more frustrated and on the verge of giving up, they decided to try recording it one more time. This time they were successful, however, when they arrived to control room, the sound engineer told them that the tape ran out and the entire ending was gone. | |
