I was still in school and not old enough to get a tattoo, and I was begging the local tattoo artist to give me this tattoo. Even my first tattoo was a MERCYFUL FATE cover ( 'Don't Break The Oath'). "I ended up selling my BMX Raleigh bicycle, my dad got a little pissed about that in the beginning, but he ended up thinking that was real dedication and a good smart move from my side, because now he also had to buy me a new bike so I could get to school. I responded I would figure it out, smiling. "I remember asking my dad if I could have some money for a KING DIAMOND concert ticket, he said, 'Sure, but how will you earn the money for the train ticket and merchandise?' he asked smiling. 15 minutes later, I was holding the record in my hands and a new young KING DIAMOND fan was born and I have been following him and buying all his records since.
"A few minutes after reading the newspapers, I jumped on my bike and headed to my local record shop. But when the Danish newspapers started to write about KING DIAMOND and his new record, 'Them', I knew that I was about to discover something unique and special. At a very early age, I was already on my knees for Ronnie James Dio and Tony Iommi. He was the first frontman in a metal band that I really became a fan of. "I have been a huge KING DIAMOND / MERCYFUL FATE fan since my school days in Denmark. "The show was fantastic and King sounded better than ever," Poulsen stated last June. Fan-filmed video footage of his appearance can be seen below.
Poulsen joined KING DIAMOND on stage at last year's Sweden Rock Festival to perform a cover version of the MERCYFUL FATE classic "Come To The Sabbath". It's a weird, scary story, and he's the perfect person for it." He wrote his own lines, and it is half my lyrics and half his. Having King on the record is a huge privilege. The track, which features a guest appearance by legendary Danish heavy metal singer King Diamond, comes off VOLBEAT's fifth studio album, "Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies", which will be released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on April 5, in the rest of Europe on April 8, and in North America on April 9 via Vertigo/ Republic Records/ Universal Music.Ĭomments VOLBEAT guitarist/vocalist Michael Poulsen: "I'm a huge fan of MERCYFUL FATE and KING DIAMOND.
