KING DIAMOND - Songs for the Dead VINYL

King Diamond is the reason a lot of people learned what a falsetto was, and also started drawing pentagrams on their school folders. The man built an entire gothic horror universe across his discography, and Songs for the Dead Live is one of the definitive documents of that world made flesh, a double LP capturing the full theatrical spectacle of his 2015-2016 touring production.

Recorded and filmed across European and North American dates, this is King Diamond in full command of his craft, running through deep cuts and fan favourites against a backdrop of elaborate horror staging that most bands couldn't dream of affording. If you grew up on Abigail or Them and want to revisit them in live form, or you're still working your way through the back catalogue, this is essential dark metal history on wax. The kind of thing you find in someone's collection and immediately understand who they are as a person.

2 LP. Standard black vinyl. Includes live recordings from the Songs for the Dead tour.
