A night of occult majesty: photo gallery of King Diamond’s show in London at the Roundhouse

Author Peterson Marti - 5.7.2025

The mythical King Diamond came back to London on a hot night full of excitement, casting his evil spell over the city.

Accompanied by Paradise Lost and Unto Others, the show was more of a ceremony than a concert, with spine-chilling stories, piercing falsettos, and occult theatrics.
