This weekend on FMJ RADIO, I’m so excited to welcome back the legendary KING DIAMOND! We covered a lot in this conversation — from his chilling new single “Spider Lilly,” the first piece of his upcoming horror trilogy, to his experience filming at the haunted Pennhurst Asylum.
Saint Lucifer’s Hospital 1920 is the first chapter of the trilogy, and King shared incredible insight into his inspirations, including the fascinating (and sometimes horrifying) history of early medical experiments that influenced his storytelling.
We also talked about:
- The addition of Myrkur to his live shows and music, and how her presence has opened new creative doors both onstage and in the studio.
- The theatrical artistry of his live performances, featuring the new song “Electro Therapy” and its jaw-dropping stage visuals.
- His thoughts on the importance of theater in music today, and the artists who inspired him to push the boundaries of live performance.
- Plus, an update on Mercyful Fate as King balances both his iconic projects!
