Heavy metal is, in fact, alive and well. And thanks to King Diamond, it’s also bombastic, over-the-top, theatrical, technically proficient, and just what St. Louis needed on a spooky Saturday night prior to Halloween.

As a scream teen, I found myself playing in devils blood theatrically but as an older gentleman Im too old to run with Lucifer but enjoy getting the bejesus scared out of me from time to time. Saints and sinners are found in us all.

On a blustery Portland, Oregon night with with the gorging of Thanksgiving creeping its head around the door, it felt like an appropriate time to savor a performance from one of heavy metals most legendary acts.

Its not hard to pinpoint the brilliant musical success of King Diamond that has surrounded him as a solo artist throughout the last twenty plus years. A success that has been nothing short of stella.
