Evil delves into the depths of supernatural evil, exploring concepts such as witchcraft, devil worship, and satanic rituals. The lyrics, written by frontman King Diamond, narrate a bone-chilling story of a man who unknowingly makes a pact with the devil.
Evil Lyrics: Ahh! / Ooh I was born on the cemetery / Under the sign of the moon / Raised from my grave by the dead / And I was made a mercenary / Ooh in the legions of Hell / And now I'm king.

A mixture of short stories and one longer concept piece, The Spider’s Lullabye suffers for being the least cohesive of King Diamond’s solo records. The first half takes in state-sanctioned execution (Killer), ghost hunters (The Poltergeist) and a group of evil kids (Moonlight). The second half is mainly about spiders. Quite scary, then. Maybe. 1. K...
Set in a mysterious church that, not entirely surprisingly, turns out to be full of truly terrifying shit that would make most people go instantly mad, House Of God is the dark horse of the King Diamond catalogue: a slow-burning enigma with a handful of great songs (Black Devil, The Trees Have Eyes and Help!!!) and lashings of textbook Diamond good...
Following up a timeless classic like Abigail was never going to be easy. King Diamond actually did a pretty good job on this belated sequel, conjuring plenty of the incisive, melodic brilliance that defined those early albums. The Stormand Spirits are obvious highlights on a flawed but still gripping return to the LeFay Mansion. 1. The definitive g...
The first Mercyful Fate album after the departure of founding guitarist Michael Denner, Dead Againdidn’t muck about with radical departures. Instead, this was a partial return to a grittier, less overtly polished sound, with thematic and musical horrors to match. Most notable for the towering, 14-minute title track, the Danes’ weakest album is stil...
Another deliciously gruesome concept piece, The Graveyard is one of King Diamond’s nastiest bedtime stories, with plenty of sexual abuse, strangulation, torture and beheadings to enjoy. It also boasts Black Hill Sanitarium, one of King’s greatest ‘90s tunes, and the grubby, sinister sprawl of Digging Graves (“Lucy, you stay here… the tomb is warm!”...
The third Mercyful Fate album after their 1992 , Into The Unknown is not the Danes’ finest hour, but it’s another underrated record that added plenty to the band’s reputation. At its best on the epic title track and wonkily grandiloquent closer Kutulu (The Mad Arab, Part 2), it was an album that sustained momentum without revealing anything that lo...
A second top-notch batch of songs from the reformed Mercyful Fate, Time’s only real flaw was that it was, in essence, more of the same. Well stocked with succinct metal anthems, it may have lacked the intricate oddness of the Melissa era, but songs like Nightmare Be Thy Name, The Preacher and, most memorably, The Mad Arabadded a dash of fresh perve...
A mid-career cracker than seemed to signal a return to the grand, epoch-defining form of his first decade, The Puppet Master is a deeply fucked up record. If you’ve ever had nightmares about waking up inside a wooden puppet, you might want to avoid this one, but you would have to miss out on immaculate KD classics like the title track and Magic. Do...
Notable for featuring a blistering lead break from Pantera’s Dimebag Darrell on its absurdly catchy title track, Voodoo delivered exactly as advertised: a spooked-out saga of occult rituals, ceremonial crosses and plucky exorcists, with all the face-flaying melodic thrills and spills that fans had, by now, become rather accustomed to. King Diamond’...
The first Mercyful Fate album after their 1992 reunion, In The Shadows was a robust and commanding return. Lyrically, the likes of The Old Oak and Legend Of The Headless Ridermay have slightly blurred the lines between the Danish band’s seminal devilry and the narrative grimoire of King Diamond’s solo work, but the Fate sound was very much intact a...
