- Purtroppo la separazione dai Mercyful Fate sembra aver danneggiato la produttività di King, che, dopo le clamorose cagate incise da solista, si dedica per frustrazione al crimine, con il nome di Joker. Dopo qualche anno di insuccessi anche da criminale (a causa di Batman, che poi venne mangiato da Ozzy Osbourne), decide di riunirsi alle sue adorate scimmiette con il nome di King Kong e finalmente torna alle luci della ribalta con il disco della reunion, 9 (che in realtà è un 6 rovesciato, ti pare che Diamond usa altri numeri???).
- King Diamond (born Kim Bendix Petersen in Copenhagen, Denmark, June 14, 1956) is an unlockable character in Guitar Hero: Metallica.He is in real-life the successful lead singer of renowned heavy metal bands Mercyful Fate and his own self-named band. He can be bought after the song "Evil" is passed by the player, allowing him to sing for non-Metallica songs.
- King Diamond (Latin: Epicus-Metalus) is a Grammy Award nominated Danish time-traveller, member of a famous metal band, an avid spelunker, wears his trousers too tight, stole Gene Simmons face, solo artist, monarch, practitioner of black magic, member of the Scooby Gang and jeweler. But he is a king, and he is rich enough to afford even the most valuable diamonds. He is also a master alchemist, and is able to tranform any material he wants into the blackest of metals.
- King Diamond is a Danish heavy metal band formed in 1985 by vocalist King Diamond, guitarists Andy LaRocque and Michael Denner, bassist Timi Hansenand drummer Mikkey Dee. Diamond, Denner and Hansen had recently departed the group Mercyful Fate, and decided to form a new band under the King Diamond moniker, as it was already known from the Mercyful Fate days.

- King Diamond is a Danish heavy metal band formed in 1985 by vocalist King Diamond, guitarists Andy LaRocque and Michael Denner, bassist Timi Hansenand drummer Mikkey Dee. Diamond, Denner and Hansen had recently departed the group Mercyful Fate, and decided to form a new band under the King Diamond moniker, as it was already known from the Mercyful Fate days. In 1985, King Diamond released their debut album Fatal Portrait. Since then the band have released a total of twelve studio albums (most of them concept albums), two live albums, two extended plays, five compilations and five singles. Since the band's inception, there have been over fifteen musicians in and out of King Diamond, with the only two mainstays being vocalist King Diamond and guitarist Andy LaRocque. In 1987 the band released their second studio release Abigail (their first concept album). Throughout the 1980s, King Diamond released a total of four studio albums. In the early 90's, the band was put on hold when King Diamond reunited with his former outfit Mercyful Fate. After reforming King Diamond in 1994, Diamond would balance recording and touring with both Mercyful Fate and his eponymous band throughout the 90's. Since the early 2000s, King Diamond have kept recording and touring and since 2001 the band has been composed of vocalist King Diamond, guitarist Andy LaRocque, guitarist Mike Wead, bassist Hal Patino and drummer Matt Thompson.
- King Diamond (Latin: Epicus-Metalus) is a Grammy Award nominated Danish time-traveller, member of a famous metal band, an avid spelunker, wears his trousers too tight, stole Gene Simmons face, solo artist, monarch, practitioner of black magic, member of the Scooby Gang and jeweler. But he is a king, and he is rich enough to afford even the most valuable diamonds. He is also a master alchemist, and is able to tranform any material he wants into the blackest of metals. King was born in a cemetery, under the sign of the moon. Raised from his grave by the dead, he was made a mercenary in the legions of Hell, now he's King of Pain, he's INSAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaane!!!!!!!! Diamond enjoyed a childhood of privilege as a member of Copenhagen's most respected family of jewelers. Upon hearing Deep Purple in his teens, Diamond determined that a life of procuring, cutting and polishing precious gems didn't appeal to him as much as one of playing rock 'n' roll. A rare skin condition rendered the skin on King's face especially sensitive to sunlight. As a result, King had to apply full-face makeup whenever he went out in public. After moderate success with the band Black Rose, King met up with members of the punk band Bratz to eventually form the legendary metal band Mercyful Fate. However after only two albums, all the awesomeness in the universe had been used up and so the band decided to hang it up. Some say that they reformed somewhere in the shadows of time and recorded some more albums, but this is thought to be only a rumor.
