| Kim Bendix Peterson, aka King Diamond, boasts CD's available worldwide under not only the heading of his own musical moniker, but those of Mercyful Fate and Black Rose, as well. This reviewer has had the pleasure of attending King Diamond and Mercyful Fate concerts 7 times combined between 1987 and 2000, from FL and NY to Germany. In 1992 I enjoyed the opportunity to read a personal letter written to Anton LaVey by King Diamond, who signed the letter with his signature seal of scratchy inverted crosses. During the last couple of shows attended by myself and other members of the Church of Satan and Nepotism Grotto, I had the opportunity to spend some time chatting with KD's most recent drummer, John. |
