King Diamond is a living legend who deserves more respect in the Music Industry.He worked so hard for years and certainly mastered his craft.His vocals are like no other.Everybody hail the true King! ❤
I was 16 when I bought this album. I heard it through a couple of times. It didn't do much for me at first. But then i found myself humming some of the melodylines restless in bed at night. I put on the album again and then started listening to it every day. What a masterpiece this is. All the different parts and melodies. Now I'm 46 and i still find myself listening to it sometimes when I can't sleep. Thinking of life and all the things I should have done since 16. Life is precious and goes too fast. My advice is: Start a family. Have kids. Take care of the wife and your job. And sometimes put on this record and escape from everything. You can still do normal family stuff and be a heavy rocker at the same time.
I saw King Diamond live a few months before the pandemic. I started filming when they played Welcome Home and all you can hear is hundreds of 50 year old dudes with horrendous attempts at falsetto singing “Grandmaaaaa”. King’s voice was mesmerizing. It sounded just like the album. Such a unique and awesome singer.
Agreed although you have to listen to Abigail II. That’s what it’s called on the one I’ve got on here it’s their best work imo. Cheers man keep rocking 🤘🏻
2-8-69. It's 2023 711. First timmer💫. I can't believe I'm listening to my Education. 😂 Especially now⚡️🎄🕷Pluto's return to Lady Liberty United States birth chart 29 degrees 🎄⚡️Reading Tea Leaves. The Watchers are Back. Hail⚡️Azazel ⚔️🦚🪶
Many days my voice was gone singing along to welcome home even my mom loves king!saw them on the conspiracy tour with my dad last show we seen before my dad passed RIP
A good friend played this album to me, and I wasn`t even into metal, I was a funk bass player...…..This made me pick up an electric guitar, and I haven`t looked back since !!!!!!!!
Any one of the King Diamond Albums would be enough for a lifetime, the fact that he has so many masterpieces is mind blowing. From MF to KD.....7 albums gifted to the metal fans, 13 albums bestowed upon mortal men, and in this darkness, one Artist to rule them all.
I still remember seeing King at L'Amour in Brooklyn, NY at the age of 14 or 15 with my older brother. I'm 46 now and to this day King's music is as fresh as it was then. I will forever be a fan of the dark banshee! King forever!!!!
I saw K.D M.F there we would go there once or twice a month saw so many great shows there one of my favorites was BIOHAZARD OPEN FOR KREATOR what a show .I am 57 so a little older but what a show K.D would but on with the coffin and candles burning everywhere. The good old days of great shows and prices were affordable. ROCK ON MY YOUNG FRIEND
I bought this album and "the eye", on cassette from a friend at high school, in '93. I listened to them all the time on my walkman and a countless loops later, it broke down.
I'm not a heavy metal fan in the least, but I got to show some respect to this album. Incredibly crafted. My brother is a big fan and hence my discovery of KD. Super innovative artist. Much respect!
At first King Diamond scared me in the 80's then I realized there is no difference between Horror novels or Horror music. King Diamond is one of the finest singers and songwriters in Metal. Nobody else like him. This and Conspiracy are his two finest IMO
Wondering why my metalheads friends in high school never showed this to me ??? 29 years old and just now discovering King Diamond, needless to say I am OBSESSED!🖤
one of few METAL bands that were consistent in quality and production throughout their entire career. Metallica, metal church, sodom, mercyful oath, slayer etc all released albums yet there were at least 1-4 sometimes more shit tracks on those albums most consider classics despite their faults.. King Diamond on the other hand never made a wack track. Consistent as a motherfucker. LONG LIVE THE KING!!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The woods next to the old farmer's pumpkin patch was where I "lived" my teenage years. "Them" could be heard coming from those woods at night across the farmer's fields. It's where that music belonged. It's where it still is.
@@williamrichards9287 You would've loved hanging out there... Those old woods were very haunted, always filled with a lot of strange activity... Had some really creepy supernatural experiences happen there, some serious stuff... I loved it, I mean just absolutely loved it... But there were some people that couldn't handle it, they got pretty freaked out a couple of times... It was the real deal... Chris.
It's certainly one thing to hear it now but a whole different world it was back in the day when it was fresh and new. It was incredible. The 80s were the very best for metal. Ultimate scene.
Uno de mis favoritos de todos los tiempos. Esos madrazos que le da Mikkey a los tambores!!! (Él y Lombardo, mis favoritos). Las guitarras de Andy y Pete!!! Y el maestro King!!! Simplemente GENIAL!!!
I rewound this tape with a pencil so many times! I was thinking how life would have been so much different if I'd had rechargeable batteries back then.
Absolutely....the counterpoint guitar harmonies to the vocals make this album genius! Not to mention some of the meanest riffs and solos you will ever hear...prog metal masterpiece!
The people that are disliking the album have never even heard it .they just don't like King Diamond because they think he represents satan they're stupid .
I remember when I bought this album on vinyl back in '88. And as soon as I finished listening to it I thought to meself 'I bet someone will make a horror film about it exactly according to the lyrics'. But to this day no one has, and I still can't believe that hasn't happened... but still haven't given up hope of that happening.
With the state of horror today I'd be careful with what you wish for. A very few could do it well, and they wouldn't be in the big studios. But then again, a big studio would ruin this masterpiece.
@@hvitekristesdod Nah, that wouldn't be necessary mate. It could easily be made into a traditional horror so to speak as long as it was kept true to the script of the lyrics. But just like all films, they all have music in them, just with this one only have music from the album and only occasionally - at times when it would fit, so not too much!
@@hvitekristesdod I suspect King is a practicing occultist! Many of the lyrics he writes would certainly suggest that he is, and obviously he has very advanced skills of visualisation, something that is absolutely necessary to achieve success in the Occult sciences... believe me as a practitioner of High Magick and Luciferianism meself, I know!
Grew up with ACDC, SABBATH, MAIDEN, PRIEST etc etc, brought Orgasmatron by the late lemmy and realised there's music and then there's MUSIC, brought this in the late 80s and again realised there's music and then there's KING, there is a reason he's called KING
Omg! It's too fucking good! It's bringing back memories of my youth. Boy did we have it good in the 80s. Kids today have NO idea how hard it was to put a record together. All analog tape, a lot of recording live. No fucking Autotune lmao. King WAS an auto tune! No quantifying etc....
Friday night. A carton of Marlboro Reds, some Old Grandad, and some shizzy weed. I'd bring half my drum kit over to my buddies and we'd air jam or plug in and jam all night. The 80s ruled because there were no rules for headbangers. Jeans jackets, ripped up blue or black jeans. Painters caps with your fave metal band.
Bought this album (cassette) in 1995 when I was 18 years old.. Still listening till now even I am 44 this year.. Once a King Diamond, always a King Diamond ☺️☺️☺️
Flawless execution. The sound, surgical precision, hooks galore. Unreal. I've had the same disc since 1990. Scratches. Been through hell and back. Still plays like a dream. Ya gotta crank it up a bit yeah? But it's outlived many of my other discs.
I was 15 when I listened to this album for the first time. It was at the beginning of the summer holiday of the 9th grade. The artwork made me curious so I bought the album and when I played the cassette I was scared shitless 😂 but I couldn't stop listening to it. I was into HP Lovecraft back then so the atmosphere of the album suited my state of mind. I am 46 now and married with kids. Still listen to Them once in a while.
"Them" is the third studio album by Danish heavy metal band King Diamond, released on this day 9/13/88 via Roadrunner Records. It is the first album to feature guitarist Pete Blakk and bassist Hal Patino.
I'll never forget seeing this tour in Rochester Ny . It was at the Renaissance theater which was a beautiful old type theater with beautiful wood work on stage and balconies on either side. The whole place had stained glass window. It was Halloween the atmosphere and show was in fkn credible!
Dude, I really like Mercyful Fate and King Diamond. The music, the heaviness, the art, and the ambience. For years, I’m just really having a hard time with the King’s vocals. I really can’t get to it.
my buddy used to listen and I didn't get it. I'm 54 now and I fuckin love it now. my buddy died in 2005...God I wish he could've seen the live in Philly...love ya Jaymz

No offense but I don't find him underrated in any way, he's a genius and well recognized as such
I bought this on cassette from a kid at school. I guess he was scared. I love it. I'm 49 and still amazed by it.

I'll never forget seeing this tour in Rochester Ny . It was at the Renaissance theater which was a beautiful old type theater with beautiful wood work on stage and balconies on either side. The whole place had stained glass window. It was Halloween the atmosphere and show was in fkn credible!
this intro of welcome home is something else
The only KD album I ever owned, played the hell out of it in the late ‘80s
Do yourself a favor, listen to good other ones
He brought back some Merciful Fate to his vocals on this album.
MERCYFUL
There’s a bonus track called Phone Call. It’s pretty spooky 👻
They called because grandma had a huge credit card debt
That “Missy and Mother…are dying to meet you…!!!!!”🎼👌🏼killer 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!! 😎👽☠️🌴❤
Twilight Symphony is my favorite track of the album. So badass.
Concert in 1989 , that song when the part came to sing twilight he held the Mic to the audience then he screeched the symphony part
The invisible guests is mine....that chorus "Cups were rising..."
How could it be that not a single King Diamond theme or concept has been turned into a motion picture?
seguidor infinito de king Diamond aunque mi disfras sea social. excelete , excelente y excelente.."sinfonia crepusular" lo mejor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forever insane album, production, music....the greatest
Dude, I really like Mercyful Fate and King Diamond. The music, the heaviness, the art, and the ambience.
For years, I’m just really having a hard time with the King’s vocals. I really can’t get to it.
I struggle with the high falsetto too, but god, the music is mind blowing!!!!!
Then get the fuck on dude there is other music out there
my buddy used to listen and I didn't get it. I'm 54 now and I fuckin love it now. my buddy died in 2005...God I wish he could've seen the live in Philly...love ya Jaymz
Um clássico absurdo,salve King Diamond!
You have got to listen to this album in its entirety lights out complete total darkness trust me it's an experience
Pleasant Journeys
