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 !!

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

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.)

@donmcglothlin841 4 жыл бұрын

Agreed. I've always been a fan of Denner but Wead is every bit as talented and even pulls a lot of Blakk's tone when covering his solos. It's one thing to sound good playing something you wrote but to be able to emulate multiple guitarists who have previously filled the role and sound every bit as good as they did in the studio live says something. Mike Denner - Fatal Portrait, Abigail, Pete Blakk - Them, Conspiracy, The Eye, Herb Simonsen - Spider's Lullabye, Graveyard, Voodoo, Glen Drover - House of God. That's a lot of guitarists to emulate and Wead does it masterfully.

@jdhed1 4 жыл бұрын

Underrated according to who? King is a heller gtr player also. He writes most of the riffs. Having King choose to hire you for his band would be all the recognition one would need in my opinion. But maybe he should consult you the next time he decides to hire a guitarist to make sure he's properly rated.
