Mehr Info:
Over the course of thirty years, among innumerable trends, ebbs and flows of the music industry, King Diamond remains as one of the most prolific and important figures in metal. We're here, and you're reading this, to raise our collective glasses in tribute to 30 years of some of the most important metal put to tape and written into bytes and bits. Since the band's inception, fans have been treated to 12 studio albums, most of which are concept albums.Two of metal's most influential labels have had the pleasure of releasing these records: Roadrunner Records, and Metal Blade Records. A selection of songs from those releases have been handpicked by King himself and assembled into a two-disc collection, divided between the band's years with Roadrunner and Metal Blade. This compilation of tracks will serve as the ultimate versions of each of these songs. No better version will exist anywhere else and this is the first compilation in which the band has chosen each song. Most of these songs have been played live, or will be played live again soon, so one can think of this as studio versions of King Diamond's live set, plus a little extra. And as fans are surely well aware, King Diamond is as synonymous with chilling story telling as they are with top shelf song writing. So, let us peak behind the curtain to see what makes these particular songs worthy of summarizing and exemplifying such a massive and historic catalog of music.
Aus der Presse:
Oh it`s Halloween!!!
Compilations von KING DIAMOND gab es tatsächlich schon eine Handvoll – doch konzentrierten sich diese stets auf eine ausgewählte Label-Phase (z.B. »Nightmares In The Nineties« von Massacre Records) und waren daher nicht gerade flächendeckend, was das jahrzehntelange Schaffen des Falsetto-Königs anbelangt. Die aktuelle – von Metal Blade zusammengestellte – Best Of zieht da schon mal ganz andere Seiten auf! Disc eins schwelgt in den klassischen Roadrunner-Jahren und Tracks von Killer-Scheiben wie »Abigail« oder »Conspiracy«. Der zweite Silberling hingegen widmet sich der (U.S.) Metal Blade-Ära und brutal unterschätzten Juwelen wie »Voodoo« oder »The Spider`s Lullabye«. Ein wirklich rundum gelungener und ausgewogener Mix für alle, die sich an das Lebenswerk KING DIAMONDs herantasten möchten – und für solche, die auf geschmackssicheren Parties und beim Autofahren nur das Beste vom Besten wollen.
