Ranking the Albums: King Diamond

[@scottross2762]

nice to see George.

[@Arutha_Con_Doin]

I would say this ranking stayed pretty consistent for the last 10 or even 15 years for me. 1. Abigail 2. Conspiracy 3. Them 4. The Eye 5. Fatal Portrait 6. Voodoo 7. The Puppet Master 8. The Spider's Lullaby 9. Give me your soul...please 10. House of god 11. The Graveyard 12. Abigail II

[@BenjimonSussyBaka]

I have been waiting for this ranking for so long!!! Great to see it!

[@steelerfreak1977]

I always feel like I’m on an island saying this, but The Graveyard is a masterpiece. If you haven’t listened to this one in a while, please go back and do so. King sounds amazing, the guitar tone is heavy as hell, and the riffs and solos are razor sharp. Plus, it’s his creepiest story by far. One of the most underrated albums in metal history.

[@luciusblackwood2640]

I'll second that! Those melodies and lyric lines stick with you.

[@andywylie6784]

My favorite King record. Right up there with Them.

[@paranoia.church]

That’s my favorite as well 🤘🏼

[@KSBC6499]

Yep Graveyard is top 5 for me, great story.

[@markbaston8147]

I totally agree. Probably in my top 5.

[@Duality_of_Man]

Absolutely phemonenal discography this one, and always a killer lineup for the band. In my opinion one of the true legends up there with Maiden, Dio, Sabbath and so many more. For the ranking (based on what I've heard) #10 - The Spider's Lullabye #9 - Puppet Master #8 - House of God #7 - Graveyard #6 - The Eye #5 - Voodoo #4 - Them #3 - Fatal Portrait #2 - Abigail #1 - Conspiracy At the Graves, Sleepless Nights, Lies, Visit from the Dead, the entire Conspiracy album is great, mindblowingly so in my opinion, as are most of King's records, but I go back to this one more than any other it seems.

Being a young metalhead in Copenhagen in the 80ies, there were few people I idolized more than King Diamond. Sadly, I also lost interest after Conspiracy and The Eye was the last album I got. This ranking has finally convinced me that I have to check out their later albums as well, so thanks Pete and George!

Yes I'd agree

[@henrihelander7331]

I think The Eye is their best album, perfect from start to finish. Insanity is up there with Coast to Coast and To Live Is to Die.

[@LeatherRebel75]

I'm glad you guys showed The Puppet Master some love. That is a fantastic album. I also agree. Abigail is pretty untouchable, but Them, Conspiracy, and Fatal Portrait are all close behind.

[@JackMcLeodJr]

Only got into KD about 5 years ago, the vocals are hard to get passed but once you do you realise how absolutely phenomenal everything is. Proper old school tasty hard rock heavy metal riffing with lots of swing and groove. Andy LaRocque what a guitar player. My favorite record is probably Abigail but The Eye is arguably very under-appreciated.

[@martymartin2894]

Yeah I can't take the vocals either or the satanic worship

Good stuff guys!!! drummer Matt Thompson is actually a good friend of mine I grew up with him even though I think I'm4 years older and I think he's an incredible drummer. Great catalog from the King!

[@TheMafrand]

Fatal Portrait is the third Mercyful Fate album. Yeah, Hank is missing but it's the same style as Don't Break the Oath. The cover art is also very much like the early MF albums.

[@TheMafrand]

I just found an interview from 2016 on youtube where King said, that many of the songs from From Fatal Portrait were written for Mercyful Fate.

[@joeyuzwa891]

I’ll go ahead and rank King Diamond AND mercyful fate 1. Them 2. Abigail 3. Conspiracy 4. Don’t Break The Oath 5. The Eye 6. The portrait 7. Melissa 8. Voodoo 9. House of God 10. Time 11. Abigail 2 - Pretty underrated album. I think a lot of people hate on it because it’s not even close to being as good as Abigail. If it had a different name more people would love it. 12. The Graveyard 13. Give me your soul… Please - This is primarily held back by the vocals. King was pretty obviously limited by his at-the-time unresolved heart problems. You can tell it restricted how he could use his falsetto and un-distorted chest voice. Thankfully, because the man’s a fucking genius, the album is still awesome. 14. The Puppet Master - I think it’s really sweet to hear King and his wife, Livia, sing together on an album about a couple. 15. Into The Unknown 16. In the Shadows 17. 9 18. Dead Again - Most lethargic Mercyful Fate album. Despite the placement, I still like it and would own it physically.

[@MalditoMendoza]

Weird to know that people talk shit about Abigail II so much. It's my favorite post-Spider Lullabye KD record. It does have a lot of the same issues as most of his post-1990 material has but I find he got a more memorable collection of songs than in any other albums from that era.

[@Chris-wc3yg]

1. Conspiracy 2. Abigail, very close to # 1 3. Fatal Portrait 4. Them 5. The Eye (Behind These Walls is a top 10 KD song) 6. The Puppet Master All the rest I don't care about enough to rate. When he was touring with Mercyful Fate two years ago, King said there was a new MF album being worked on. I haven't heard anything more about that, so I guess it is still some way off. However, I recently read an article saying that a new KD album might be coming out in 2024. I'd be more excited about the MF one, though.

[@thunderspike1892]

I just listened to the 1981 Mercyful Fate demo Burning The Cross. One of the last demos before Melissa. Only difference was Benny Petersen on guitar before Michael Denner joined. Petersen and Shermann are phenomenal on that demo. Mercyful Fate could just as well have been Petersen/Shermann as Denner/Shermann. Benny Petersen released his first solo album October Child in 2022. He of course also was a member of Jackal who released Rise, Vague Visions and A Safe Look In The Mirrors (without Benny Petersen). Btw check out Denner/Shermann - Satan's Tomb (EP) and Masters Of Evil. Very much like Mercyful Fate. Has Snowy Shaw on drums, Sean Peck (Warrior) on vocals and Marc Grabowski on bass. Quite good.

My top 3 in chronological order are: Abigail House of God Give me Your Soul... Please By the way, "House of God" was before "Dawn Brown's DaVinci Code".
