King Diamond is a Danish heavy metal band formed in 1985 by vocalist King Diamond, guitarists Andy LaRocque and Michael Denner, bassist Timi Hansen, and drummer Mikkey Dee. King, Denner and Hansen had recently disbanded Mercyful Fate, and formed a new band under the King Diamond moniker, already known from the initial Mercyful Fate era. Since the band's inception, there have been over fifteen musicians in and out of King Diamond, with Diamond as the only remaining original member, while LaRocque remained until 2026. Their current line-up consists of Diamond, guitarist Mike Wead, drummer Matt Thompson, bassist Pontus Egberg and guitarist Gus G as LaRocque's replacement. King Diamond has released twelve studio albums, two live albums, two extended plays, five compilation albums, and five singles. Their first album, Fatal Portrait, was released in 1986, followed a year later by the band's first concept album, Abigail. Three more albums followed – "Them", Conspiracy, and The Eye – before the band went on hiatus around 1992, when King Diamond, Denner, and Hansen reformed Mercyful Fate.
