Official music video for "Masquerade of Madness" out now on all streaming platforms.
Lyrics:
Masquerade of Madness
There is a girl in misery
And in sanity
Painting figures on her walls
Those voodoo dolls
I come to say goodbye
I’ll take you down to #9
Masquerade of Madness
Masquerade of Sadness
Madness
There is a masque for all the dead
And a masque for pain
You gotta leave your mind behind
Don’t go insane
I come to say goodbye
I’ll take you down to #9
Masquerade of Madness
Masquerade of Sadness
Madness
...And when they come for you tonight
Darkness of the mind
Keep on the masque they made for you
Only speak inside
I come to say goodbye
I’ll take you down to #9
Masquerade of Madness
Masquerade of Sadness
Madness

@@PRHILL9696 Its OK. Most singers use background vocals to enhance their vocal lines. In the past, King used a "double track" to replace backing vocals on his recordings. But in live performances it is more honest to use backing vocals. So it's no big deal that he now uses backing vocals on his recordings as well.

@@PRHILL9696 WTF he does all the high notes. She does "Backup" singing. Not sure why you'd even think that. That would mean on new songs and during the concerts it's her singing most of every song since King sings high notes 80% of the time.

@Michael-jw6et 8 ай бұрын

Anytime an older band like King Diamond sees a young person in the audience instead of old timers like me, it's refreshing. Young people/teenagers are the lifeblood of metal music, and gets depressing for a band from the 80s to see nothing but old people in the audience night after night. King Diamond probably appreciated seeing you there.
