Biography:
Queen Diamond is the World’s only (mostly) female tribute to King Diamond (and of course Mercyful Fate too)! With a slightly different line-up they are also Mistallica, an all-girl tribute to Metallica.

Queen Diamond herself in corset and corpse paint, an homage to the Man, brings to life those horror stories so revered by any Metal lovin’ Satan worshiper. And her Black Horsemen tear through the classic catalog with the ferocity and precision the material demands.

They started this project in the beginning of 2007. They do this for themselves (cause it’s fun), for all of the great people in the Universe who appreciate this music and of course for the man, King Diamond and all of the amazing musicians he’s had by his side.

They are scouring scenarios from Pennsylvania and New York, in which they have recorded a DVD “Live DVD Abigail”, sharing the stage with bands such as Overkill.

In their routine setlist they play “Welcome Home”, “A Mansion In Darkness”, “Come To The Sabbath”, “Invisible Guests”, “The Possession”, “A Dangerous Meeting”, “Abigail” and “Mother’s Getting Weaker”.
