Double album on pink blue marbled vinyls with gatefold cover.Limited 200 numbered copies

There is only one King Diamond, and for more than thirty yearsthe great Dane has been dropping classic albums and putting onshows fans remember for the rest of their lives. Perhaps the onlydownside to having such a formidable catalogue is that there arejust too many great songs to fit into a single set. However, youwould be hard-pressed to find a fan who wouldn´t want to hear1987´s seminal Abigail in its entirety, and Songs For The Dead Livecaptures this, twice, and in very different locales. Boastingeighteen songs per set, each of the two shows - Belgium´s GraspopMetal Meeting in June 2016 and Philadelphia´s Fillmore in November2015 - feature a brace of classic King Diamond and Mercyful Fatetracks including "Welcome Home," "Halloween," and "Eye Of TheWitch" before launching into Abigail. The performances of theall-star line-up of musicians, comprising of guitarists AndyLaRocque and Mike Wead, bassist Pontus Egberg and drummer MattThompson, are absolutely ferocious, hammering home every singlemoment. Captured on film by director Denise Korycki for Wild WindStudios, she worked closely with King on every aspect of filming,and throughout the viewer finds themselves front and center as theshows unfold. This includes some inventive camera placement, suchas riding in on the back of the wheelchair as it is wheeled out to"Out From The Asylum" at the start of the show, or looking up fromthe coffin at the commencement of Abigail opener "Funeral", whichadds an extra dimension to proceedings. Naturally, thetheatricality that has become synonymous with King Diamond is therein full force, making for an even more immersive experience. Thegothic stage set and the participation of actors playing outcertain scenes tying into the songs definitely increases the dramaand the sense of complete disconnect from the trappings of reality,ensuring that the shows remain riveting from start to finish. Whilethe setlists are virtually identical, the drastic difference in thetwo venues make for distinctly different atmospheres. The sweeping,epic scale of Graspop and the virtual sea of baying metalheadsmakes for a particularly thrilling spectacle, King holding them allin the palm of his hand. The Fillmore show is immediately moreintimate, and rather than a mixed bag of metal lovers drunk on aweekend of the heavy stuff, the audience is comprised entirely ofthe King Diamond devout, screaming back every word, their love fortheir hero bleeding from every frame. Songs For The Dead Live givesthose who missed out on seeing these shows in the flesh a chance tovividly experience them, offering so much deeper an experience thanyour run of the mill live album/movie.
