King Diamond might finally release new music!

Danish heavy metal band King Diamond already let his fans wait a long time for new music or even a new album.

Almost a year ago Mercyful Fate‘s (a band where singer King Diamond is also part of) guitarist Hank Shermann commented that not only the new Mercyful Fate album, but also a King Diamond album should come out in 2023. Until now, nothing has happened though.

But the wait might be not so long anymore, as Metal Blade Records CEO Brian Slagel recently stated that a new song or two might be released before King Diamond hits the road this October on their “Saint Lucifer’s Hospital 1920” tour.

“The hope is that we’ve got [new music] to release before the tour but that’s really up to them, getting it finished and recorded. So that’s the hope. But I will tell you, that obviously he’s known for especially in the last like 10-15 years for having these elaborate stage shows for both Mercyful Fate and King Diamond. And some of the things that he’s attempting to do on this tour just stage of production wise I don’t think anybody’s ever done before.

“He kind of told me about what they’re doing and how they’re going to do it and all these concepts, and it looks like they’re going to pull it all together to be able to do all this stuff. And for him you know, I think it’s expected now that you need to see something over the top production wise because he set that bar!” Brian Slagel, CEO of Metal Blade Records
