King Diamond - Fatal Portrait - LP

Limited Clear Orange Colored Vinyl

Released in 1986, Fatal Portrait is the debut King Diamond album — unusually not a full concept record, though five of its songs link to form a short ghost story, a theme King would return to again and again. After the breakup of his previous band Mercyful Fate, King formed King Diamond with guitarist Michael Denner and bassist Timi Hansen, completing the lineup with guitar virtuoso Andy LaRocque and drummer Mikkey Dee (later of Motörhead). The result is more fantastical and conceptual than Mercyful Fate's overt occultism, but no less dark.
