You sort of have a point there, but the way I personally feel they differ is that KD is far superior to anything Mercyful Fate ever did.

Get out, get the fucking hell out of here forever.

Better than MF, that is so fucking laughable it is stupid.

Yeah, there is no way that KD is better than MF! KD has ABIGAIL, THEM and CONSPIRACY but just MELISSA by Fate is enough to topple those mammoth records, not to mention all MF's other great albums!

All I have to go by is Abigail and Melissa, and yes indeed, Melissa is bloody amazing and definitely better than Abigail. I do need to listen to Abigail a bit more though, but for now this is definitely what I think, oh yes indeed. 'Evil' alone does it for me, the way that song opens the album is pure metal brilliance. It's the song that kept me going back to that album to see if I could like King Diamond, and it has worked!

To be fair, I probably need to listen to a bit more Mercyful Fate.

Yeah man, they are literally one of the best heavy metal bands of all time, check out the Mercyful Fate EP, Melissa and Don't Break The Oath (if you haven't already) for some of the greatest and heaviest metal moments of all time!

They do put Kingy's solo stuff to shame to be fair.

Although he's got some good albums, fo sho; Them, Abigail, The Puppet Master..

Those three are defiantly the best.

Amen.

Been taking some singing lessons to sing like the King.
So basically I spend my days trying to mimic that end bit of Nightmare. haha.

King Diamond is gay as fuck.
