King Diamond and Myrkur

Danish rocker King Diamond, known for his multi-octave range and theatrical style, rose from Mercyful Fate's lead to solo stardom with iconic albums like "Abigail." Celebrated for his occult themes, falsetto, and distinctive face paint, he collaborated with guitarist Andy LaRocque and was Grammy-nominated for "Give Me Your Soul...Please." His influence spans metal genres, and he remains an iconic figure with a notable comeback post-heart surgery.
