J'aime bien la phrase du type qui veux pas croire que le "fameux" King Diamond porte des jogging

Ce n'est pas ce que je voulais dire, bien sûr que King a des joggings from hell pour passer l'aspirateur, déboucher les chiottes et autres activités ténébreuses, c'était juste pour insister sur le caractère tr00 evil de la situation dans un décor qui ne l'est pas moins.

Peut être un nouveau Mercyful fate plus tot que prévu.



According to Denmark's TV 2 VIP, King Diamond has told BT.dk that there is a good chance that a new studio album from his classic heavy metal act MERCYFUL FATE will surface at some point in the not-too-distant future.

"Hank [Shermann, guitar] has written songs [for the proposed MERCYFUL FATE CD]. And he is ready for our new masterpiece," King Diamond is quoted as saying.

MERCYFUL FATE's last studio album, "9", was released in 1999.

A new two-DVD set of archival MERCYFUL FATE footage is tentatively due this spring.

A soundboard-quality audio/video version of METALLICA's MERCYFUL FATE medley performance with King Diamond at the one-day Ozzfest on August 9, 2008 at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas can be found below.

MERCYFUL FATE will be remembered for its unquestionable mark on the history of metal with its innovative sound, complex arrangements, memorable melody, and its influence on bands that later took the genre to new heights.

In 1998, METALLICA paid tribute to MERCYFUL FATE by recording a medley of classic MERCYFUL FATE songs on the album "Garage Inc." Entitled "Mercyful Fate", the medley included parts from "Satan's Fall", "Curse of the Pharaohs", "A Corpse Without Soul", "Into the Coven" and "Evil".

Lars Ulrich of METALLICA (a fellow Dane) played drums on a new version of MERCYFUL FATE's "Return of the Vampire" on the "In the Shadows" album, which came out in 1993.

L'état d'avancement des travaux, le DVD de King Diamond étant la priorité n°1, les rééditions la n°2, et le DVD de Mercyful Fate la n°3.

King Diamond (real name: Kim Bendix Petersen; KING DIAMOND, MERCYFUL FATE) has issued the following update:

"As it might have come to your attention by now, MERCYFUL FATE will be a part of Guitar Hero: Metallica with the song 'Evil'. This is part of the surprise I have earlier mentioned, but it's only a small part of the surprise. Full details will follow when permitted.

"Regarding the DVD projects, I am currently working on the KING DIAMOND DVD projects myself, with Livia's [King Diamond's 24-year-old Hungarian wife] help on programming.

"It's really beginning to shape up, but as I'm sure some of you already know, I am faced with a very steep learning curve. We're dealing with very long files (five-camera, multi-camera edit for the one-hour, 35-minute long Copenhagen show from 1990), and editing is very time-consuming.

"As I mentioned, my back is continuously getting better, but five hours in front of the computer per day is the limit. We ARE working on this every single day, but it's impossible to estimate a release date at this point.

"Right now this KING DIAMOND DVD is the top priority to get finished.

"Next will be to find and optimize at least one bonus video clip for each of the four remastered KING DIAMOND albums: 'Spider's Lullabye', 'The Graveyard', 'Voodoo' and 'House Of God'. THEN, we focus on doing the MERCYFUL FATE DVD. Once the MERCYFUL FATE DVD has been delivered to the record labels, I plan to invest in much better songwriting equipment and start working on new KING DIAMOND/(MERCYFUL FATE???) material, and then we go from there.

"The knowledge gained from working on these DVD projects myself, will hopefully come in very handy with regards to creating exciting bonus material for upcoming albums (such as story narrating in full makeup like on 'The Puppet Master', footage from songwriting sessions, studio sessions, etc; all in all, some special insight into what goes on behind these walls, these thick black walls stuffed with demons and Grandmas... stop stop... I gotta stop... you get the picture).

"This is the best update I can give you at this point.

"Sorry for not being able to give you the full scope of our participation in the Guitar Hero: Metallica video game at this point."

[Mr. Sandman]

all hail the King!!!!

Et le communiqué complet de King, qui n'exclut pas une reformation de MF s'il y a de la demande.

"As you all know, 80% of the original MERCYFUL FATE lineup (vocalist King Diamond, guitarist Hank Shermann, guitarist Michael Denner and bassist Timi Hansen) re-recorded with present MF drummer Bjarne T. Holm two ultimate MERCY classics for the upcoming Metallica: Guitar Hero game.

"For those who aren't into gaming, it's interesting to know that those two songs ('Evil' and 'Curse Of The Pharaohs') will be released on iTunes round mid-April. Also interesting to know that Andy La Rocque [KING DIAMOND] mastered these two tracks for a possible EP-picture, released by Metal Blade and Massacre.

"At this moment we are working on both MERCYFUL FATE and KING DIAMOND DVDs. Both releases will contain two DVDs and it will be worth the wait as it has some very exclusive content which surely no one outside the band has ever seen.

"We have been working on the following concerts. Please note content of the DVDs might change. Concerts mentioned here might after all not appear on the DVD.

"MERCYFUL FATE DVD:

* Copenhagen 1982 with Benny Petersen
* Amsterdam Paradiso 1984
* Copenhagen 1984
* Reunion MF 1993
* Roskilde Festival 1994
* Copenhagen 1995

"KING DIAMOND DVD:

* Washington 1986
* 1987 supporting MOTÖRHEAD
* Show footage 1989 USA + backstage footage
* Full 1990 concert Spain Euro Conspiracy tour
* Behind the scenes 1990 Conspiracy
* Copenhagen concert in the park 1990 with 5 cameras

"Also remastered KING DIAMOND CDs are in the works. Those albums have, next to the new masters, also one or two bonus video tracks. The bonus tracks shouldn't be the reason to buy the albums. The sound is so much better than it ever was. That should be reason to buy it. I know I would buy them.

"Remastered CDs released with video bonus footage (might be one or two songs)

* The Spider's Lullabye
* The Graveyard
* House Of God
* Voodoo

"This coming autumn might be the time to start writing new songs for KING DIAMOND, and who knows if our involvement in Guitar Hero will raise our value to the record labels enough for a new MERCYFUL FATE record."

J'ai cependant l'impression que les illustrations ont une durée de vie aussi précaire et limitée que les produits de l'ignoble Mad Patcher.

Les rééditions de Spider's Lullabye et The Graveyard sortiront en octobre, remasterisés et avec de nouvelles pochettes.

Metal Blade Records has set an October 13 release date for the reissues of KING DIAMOND's "The Spider's Lullabye" and "The Graveyard" albums. Both LPs were remastered by KING DIAMOND guitarist Andy La Rocque and each title includes bonus material that purchasers will be able to obtain digitally. Both "The Spider's Lullabye" and "The Graveyard" will include live "bootleg" versions (with video footage) of the following songs: "The Spider's Lullabye" from the album of the same name, and "Trick Or Treat" and "Up From The Grave" from "The Graveyard".

"Andy La Rocque re-mastered both records and you can really hear more details and sounds that I remember recording but didn't come through in the original mastering," said KING DIAMOND singer/namesake. "The records have much more bottom end this time around. There's even more details and clarity than the original version and you'll hear things you've never heard before in both releases. Andy did a great job re-mastering and improving these albums above and beyond my expectations. The artwork has also been completely redone for 'Spiders' and 'Graveyard' and is just amazing. I did not expect them to come out this good and am just completely thrilled with the result.

"We originally were going to include bonus footage on the albums as a CD-ROM, but the sound and video quality was going to suffer tremendously and that is just unacceptable. Instead, the bonus footage is going to be available for download to those who purchase the albums. The video downloads will be available in multiple formats so everyone can see them."

[Everflow]

King s'explique sur les détails et couacs imprévus de ces 4 remasters (dont 2 nouvelles pochettes), attention c'est long comme d'habitude avec lui. A noter que les bonus vidéos seront en fait téléchargeables.




On October 13, Metal Blade Records re-released KING DIAMOND's "The Spider's Lullabye" and "The Graveyard" albums. Both LPs were remastered by KING DIAMOND guitarist Andy La Rocque and each title includes bonus material that purchasers are able to obtain digitally. Both "The Spider's Lullabye" and "The Graveyard" include live "bootleg" versions (with video footage) of the following songs: "The Spider's Lullabye" from the album of the same name, and "Trick Or Treat" and "Up From The Grave" from "The Graveyard".

Commented KING DIAMOND singer and namesake: "I've seen a lot of valid questions on our CovenWorldwide.org forum regarding the remasters and I think they deserve to be answered by myself.

"First of all, it's great to see that you like Andy's [La Rocque, guitar] improvements on the sound of these remasters. Just wait till you hear 'House of God'.

"The process has been another little nightmare for us to get done the right way.

"We wanted to have the remastered albums with an included CD-ROM video of a song from the respective album as a bonus. Fortunately, I always thoroughly check our products myself before they go into pressing.

"When I got the first two remasters from a U.S. mastering lab, I was sure that they must have done something wrong. The music, which I have stated from the beginning is the absolute most important part of these remasters (not the bonus material), sounded way inferior to what I know Andy did. Also, when checking the CD-ROM footage, it looked horribly grainy and shitty and it had become badly out of synch compared to what I have put together here at home.

"After getting in touch with Metal Blade, who got in touch with the mastering lab, the message I got back was, 'We have not changed anything, this is exactly what we got.' BUT IT HAD DEFINITELY CHANGED.

"We now decided to let Andy himself have a go at adding the CD-ROM bonus footage to the remastered album.

"I couldn't believe it when I realized Andy's version was identical to the one from the U.S. mastering lab. Metal Blade now checked around with several other mastering labs, asking if this was normal or whether something was done totally wrong on our end. The same answer came back from everybody, that, yes, you should expect a quality loss in the music when adding a CD-ROM to the same disk.

"At this point, we were about to scrap the whole idea of adding the CD-ROM since there's no way in hell I would sacrifice the great sound Andy had achieved just to have that in there. Tracy at Metal Blade was the one who came up with what I thought was a great idea, to leave the music alone on the disk and then make the bonus footage available as a free download. This would maintain Andy's sound quality and also maintain the quality of the bonus footage since it would not have to be compressed from approximately 1.3 Gigabytes down into a 130 Megabyte file size. So, this way we would be able to provide the best possible quality to all of you for both the album itself and the bonus footage.

"This, of course, meant more work for the label to set up the website where you can find the bonus footage, and was not a budget issue. They did, however, tell me that the footage would be available for everybody, not just those who bought the album since implementing codes, etc. would be too much too late to get done in time for the release.

"My personal view on that is that I have never thought that you should buy the remasters just to get the bonus footage anyway.

"As you might have noticed, there have never been KING DIAMOND releases with specific bonus tracks added for just certain areas. For example, Japanese labels have several times asked us for exclusive bonus for their releases, which we have always rejected for various reasons, including that I don't see why certain territories should be treated better than others.

"I hope that answered some of the questions you had regarding the actual material sound and bonus of the remasters.

"The following is regarding the artwork.

"The intention here was to revamp the inside of the booklets, not the actual covers themselves. A phone call from Metal Blade's artworker assured me it wouldn't be that easy. The entire artwork for 'Spider's Lullabye' and 'The Graveyard' had been lost in a computer meltdown where a lot of old Metal Blade stuff was stored, so we had to start from scratch. As you can imagine, this was a major pain the ass and very time-consuming.

"Regarding 'Voodoo' and 'House of God', I was initially told the same and a major search was put in gear to see if Massacre possibly had some of these lost files. Eventually most of the files showed up intact at a Metal Blade search and you will find very little change on the front covers. The back covers have been changed a bit and the insides have been totally revamped which is all what was originally intended.

"So there you have it.

"The bonus footage that will be available for 'Voodoo' and 'House of God' will be the two title tracks. So all in all, you will eventually have access to four live editions with footage of songs that was not included on our double live CD.

"The 'Spider's Lullabye' and 'The Graveyard' remasters are out in the U.S. but will not be released in Europe by Massacre until October 23rd. Massacre's versions will have an inlay card that directs the European fans to Metal Blade's website, which will be the only website where you can find the bonus footage. It made no sense to have a separate site set up with Massacre.

"At last, I want to say that work on the KING DIAMOND DVD set is still underway and we're really beginning to make some great progress. This has taken so much longer than expected because of so many technical issues that I won't bore you to death with here, but we recently acquired a brand new noise-reduction program that we're using to enhance all the footage, and it's amazing how much better everything is beginning to look compared to the original tapes. I really think you're going to love this stuff once it's done.

"Gotta get back to this and transcode four different tests for the 1997 Copenhagen VEGA KING DIAMOND show which, if I remember right, is taken from the first show of the KING DIAMOND/MERCYFUL FATE European double header tour."
