Lead vocalist of early Danish metal band Mercyful Fate,and his more commercially successful solo career, Diamond is perhaps one of the genre's most underrated pioneers. Recogniseable by his distinct falsetto and excessive use of face-paint,King has significantly influenced a vast array of metal sub-genres.
There's King Diamond on stage, dressed to kill, with a voice to stop time.

King Diamond is one of the more amazing metal acts of all time and is he incredibly underrated, as he hasn't gotten the recognition he deserves. He has plenty of incredible albums, but none reach the utter excellence that Abigail has. One of my favorite heavy metal albums of all time. King's great vocals are complimented by atmospheric guitars and great drumming.
Some stupid fucking kid: YO I GOT TEH NEW SLIPNOT CD IT IS AMAIZING AND I WUZ ALLOUD TO GET IT CUZ IT DIDN'T HAEV A PARIENTAL ADVISRIY ON IT! Metal-head: Fuck that shit. If you want to hear real metal, pull your head out of your ass and pick up Abigail. Stupid fucking kid: ABIGIL?! LOL TAHTS A GIRL'S NAME! Metal-head: You stupid fucking cunt.

Born Kim Bendix Petersen in Denmark, King Diamond was the singer in Mercyful Fate before forming his own band. Famous for his multi-octave range, supposed association with LaVey Satanism and having a greater lyrical talent than many native English speakers.
King Diamond is your lord and master.
