Timi was officialy out of the band, but he taught Hal the bass lines. The new members to record the album were guitarist Pete Blakk and bassist Hal Patino. The remaining quartet (with King as guitarist) demoed songs that would later appear on ”Them” album. However, he left the band after the tour. His replacement was Mikael Myllynen, who also appeared in band’s first promo video, The Family Ghost. Shortly before the release and following tour, Michael Denner left the band. The second album Abigail was the first full concept album. King Diamond would also play some Mercyful Fate songs on gigs. The band debuted with single No Presents For Christmas, followed by debut album Fatal Portrait. The original second guitarist Floyd Constantin was soon replaced by Andy LaRocque. King formed the band along with two former Mercyful Fate members, guitarist Michael Denner and bassist Timi Hansen and was joined by new drummer Mikkey Dee.
His extremely high falsetto vocal style is notable. Only Fatal Portrait and The Spider’s Lullaby deviate here, in that only four of the songs form a story while the other songs are independent. Apart from two albums, each of the albums contained a story told throughout the songs some stories span more than one album. The Satanic focus was replaced by a focus on horror stories. The style has lost most of its proto-black metal style and become a heavy metal band. He was joined by most members of the then defunct Mercyful Fate. 1985 - Demo - Fatal Portrait - Abigail - In Concert 1987- Abigail - Them - Conspiracy - The Eye - A Dangerous Meeting - The Spider's Lullabye - The Graveyard - Voodoo - House Of God - 20 Years Ago - A Night Of Rehearsal - Abigail II - The Revenge - The Puppet Master - Deadly Lullabyes Live - Give Me Your Soul Please Artists - Tribute To King Diamond (2000) Diamond is the band that King Diamond (Kim Petersen) formed after the split up of Mercyful Fate - following the departure of Hank Shermann.
