    Bear in mind this guy is 62 years old, and has been singing like this since he was 18. It's incredible his voice is this damn good with little if no formal training. Long live the King.

      Im a huge King Diamond / Mercyful Fate so dont get me wrong,....singing using falsetto isnt really that hard at all.
      Kings true power lies in his persona, his story telling and using that falsetto to create a great horror atmosphere :)

      ITs 100% pure falcetto. its a fake voice. anyone can do that at any age.. you want to hear real vocals, look at judas priest now. besides when he does painkiller he does add some fake falcettos in there but other than that, its real !!

      @greekfreak1980 Před 5 měsíci +1

      After his emergency heart surgery ( he had a serious heart attack and was clinically dead for 5 minutes!), he took a long break from singing, quit smoking, drinks very little alcohol and he did lots of vocal training with a vocal coach. His wife Livia, who is a proper trained soprano singer, actually helped him with that.( she does the background vocals here as well.)

  • @Rafaelanimes1983
    @Rafaelanimes1983 Před 2 lety +33

    That part when he makes his voice coarse at 3:33 then right after he jumps back to the falsettos is hard to make without your voice giving some sort of failing, but he done it like a King.

    I cannot sleep at night
    That's what the day is for anyway
    And as the clock strikes midnight
    I hear them dancing at the graves
    Singing to my mind
    Killing the pain . . . sleepless nights . . . sleepless nights
    I cannot sleep at night
    That's what the day is for anyway
    And as the clock strikes midnight
    Only they can let us meet
    Even though she's dead now
    I gotta see her again . . . sleepless nights . . . sleepless nights
    I cannot sleep at night
    I will do anything to see missy again
    Then let us make you an eternal deal
    You will attend to the graves
    You'll give us the house back and keep in mind
    That we only come here at night.
    So we made the deal under the starry night and
    Amon belongs to them now . . .
    I feel the dawn coming my way
    And as the sun breaks up the dark
    I can't hear them dance no more
    There's no voices
    Killing the pain . . . pain . . . pain

    Great video. So good to watch. There’s no one like King Diamond. Along with Andy La Rocque...one of the most underrated guitarists ever. These two are the nucleus of the band. Kings voice is phenomenal. No lip syncing, real playing. Absolute legends. A fan of the band since 1989, I can’t wait for the new studio album. King Diamond♦️ Rules! Peace, love and respect to all KD fans the world over from Birmingham, England.

    I´m a huge King Diamond fan, I don´t really care if people say that falsetto isn´t really that hard, the true talent of KD resides in the influence that he has estabished upon the metal scene over the years, the way he tells this dark stories with the use of heavy metal is pretty much unique and thats why I consider him the best vocalist out there
