Another outrageous, totally over the top opus from the reigning kings of Black Metal. |

Oh, yeah! THIS is what real metal is supposed to be like -- dark, dynamic, and totally over the top! A standout track from 1998's Dead Again, "Since Forever" conjures up images of windswept graveyards, cobweb-covered mansions, and revivified corpses. King Diamond shrieks like Satan himself is crushing his gonads with a cloven hoof, and guitarists Hank Shermann and Mike Wead mix evil-sounding rhythm riffs with exquisitely devilish harmony leads. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll bang your head as if your immortal soul depended on it.

Sinfony to black metal. It's like it's always been. And what becomes to Diamond... well no-one can't be better than the Legend himself...
Burner. (Fin)
this kind of gets back to older, really stagey metal... alice cooper, gwar, etc. seems like it should be the soundtrack to some weird cartoon. (I wonder how it would translate to music video format?) The different voices remind me of Green Jelly's song about the little pigs.
