NEW VINYL LP ON METAL BLADE RECORDS 2020

180 GRAM VINYL.

King Diamond’s first solo effort, 1985’s Fatal Portrait, was a transitional album: still rooted in the satanically-bent heavy metal of his former group Mercyful Fate, but already showing signs of the theatrical and conceptual elements that the King would soon master like few before him. Indeed, the album’s opening four-song suite: “The Candle,” “The Jonah,” “The Portrait,” and “Dressed in White,” denote King Diamond’s first efforts to weave his horror stories over multiple, interrelated tracks.
