In honor of King Diamond’s first U.S. tour in nearly a decade, and the fact that I just acquired my ticket for the L.A. show on Halloween, here he is with his genre defining band, Mercyful Fate. From their 1983 debut album, Melissa, this is “Curse of the Pharaohs.”
Heavy Metal OG 
I originally bought the “Melissa” album as a protest against the “Rock Music is of the devil” brigade. When I listened to it, I didn’t regret it on account of how good it was.
