King Diamond - The Family Ghost
The darkness came closer to home, on the following night
And Miriam slept like a rock, when Jonathan's face went white
The bedroom was ice cold, but the fire was burning still
The blinding light, the family ghost, had risen again, the Ghost
Don't be scared, don't be scared now, my friend
I am Count De Lafey
Let me take you to the crypt down below, where Abigail rests
Let Miriam sleep, she never would understand
Now come let us go, it's time to know
Beware of the slippery stairs, you could easily fall and break your neck
Hand me that torch, and I will lead the way to the secret in the dark
Secret in the dark
Take a look into the vault, the vault, the sarcophagus of a child
Abigail has been in here for years and years, stillborn
Born, born, born
The spirit of Abigail is inside your wife
And there's only one way you can stop, the rebirth of evil itself
You must take her life, now, now, now, now, now, now

Whether you like King Diamond's voice or not, you can't deny that he has a unique vocal style. He doesn't sound like a thousand other vocalists.
Sometimes he sounds very haunting with the harmonized parts.
He sounds like Bee Gees
If you don't like falsettos, then you just don't like metal. Even Corpsegrinder considers King an influence!
If you really think about it, KD has the quintessential vocal style for metal.
Actually he sounds like the cliche falsetto metal voice. It’s not good
His range shifts from 'Demon' to 'Muppet' in the blink of an eye
opera singers can do metal ;)
I love the Salacious Crumb laugh, particularly on Nightmare. I'm thinking Return of the Jedi copied it from him.
@@TheMiddleWaywdym
funny you mention "muppet", because Beavis and Butthead think he looks like The Count from Sesame Street.
nowadays, he looks more like The Witch King of Angmar, which makes sense, because KD is immortal.
Kermit he 🐸
Hail to the King!
+Black Metal Promotion Hail to the King. :) He can be spotted in newest Volbeat video btw. 00:28 ;)
***** sucks!
his pharyngeal range is nuts! I love KD, I checked out your page as well! ive gotten into tons of sick Black Metal bands because of you, keep up the dark work man \m/
I will and thanks for your support!
+Black Metal Promotion no problem man!
god damn, the 80's looked like they were fun as hell
+Greg Moberg
It was an exciting time to be alive and LIVE!
+Greg Moberg More fun that it is now!
+Greg Moberg if you were around in the 80s it was definately more fun because now your old. hah! I was around then, yea, it was fun. we did stuff. most illegal kid stuff wouldn't ruin your life. and there was coke everywhere!
+Greg Moberg I agree and I was extremely young back then. I barely remember it. I'm more of a 90's kid.
+Greg Moberg the 80's was the best time. It went very sour in the 90's and never got better. Now we are old and see young people not living. Which is sad.
Andy La Rocque is the most underrated guitar player!
And a good song writer.
@Sgt. J. Christos Hahaha, You can't be serious... Did you hear Abigail, Them, Conspiracy or Individual Thought Patterns (Death) with Andy La Rocque? I dont think so.
@Sgt. J. Christos sos un pelotudo
@Sgt. J. Christos man, now is about religion? oO
Wrong place dude.
@Sgt. J. Christos hahaha lol
Make fun all you want, but his vocal range is incredible
Kim sings in Falsetto vocal range, just in case you didn't know.....
+rob roy He is actually using pharyngeal head voice. Basically pushing a falsetto note into the head register. He is basically switching between full voice and falsetto. He is using a different technique to get to those notes. Think of Barry Gibb from the Beegees but in a higher octave. Same technique, yet this guy gets shit on for some reason
+rob roy or even better, think Frankie Vallie but an octave higher. Same pharyngeal technique.
It does make me laugh my ass off! I still love thrash :)
+Kite OrDie This isnt Thrash
I never get bored of listening to King Diamond.
The Abagail story is one of the best concept metal albums of all time! I wish it could be made into a mini movie and feature all the songs on the album. How amazing would this be??? The story is told so eloquently through the songs and lyrics such a masterpiece!!!!
oh yeah! lyrics work soooo well with the music. amazing artistic effect. it just begs for quality visuals.
there's a visual novel based on it!
King Diamond's music is very unique....not the typical metal of the 80's.
Agreed He's a Great Story teller.
I loved Abigail. But really, all of their music was exceptional.
my absolute favorite line in any metal song " beware of the slippery stairs!, you could easily fall! " and break you neck!" sinister laughing.
That part is amazeing man
+Jonathan Burton That laughter tho
Hand me the torch and I will lead the way
That was gay.
absolutely.
That solo.... man, Andy rocks! :)
so true man, it's a shame he is such an underrated guitarist :/ all the kiddos know Kirk Wahmett or Shitknot and don't know shit about real inspirations...
Hey Michael Dennner is no fuckin slouch in the solo department either.
Paulo Silva that's denners solo
I listen 2 solos... lol
Andy La Rocks! o/
Everytime someone close to me dies i always listen to king ! I swear its comforting as hell.
The Edgar Allen Poe of heavy metal
TBH metal could probably use more Poe fans.
Fuck yes!
Syphilis?
thats perfect!
A poco no tanto pero es buen metal desde Puebla Mexico
Absolute Legend!!!!!
His voice rules. And his band shreds so hard
it took me a while to get used to his voice, but now I think it sounds so awesome and adds a nice effect to the music.
I think its crazy how agressive he can sound while being very melodic and theatrical with his vocals at the same time. His vocal harmonies are very haunting and melodic. This type of singing isnt often heard in Metal music which makes KD very unique. Most people are used to Rob Halford esque vocals. KD has an even broader range but uses a different technique for his high notes. Same technique you would hear in R&B music like the Bee Gees.
si tiene Pullmon...
In few words, King is a genius! Amazing singer and musician!
Same :v
You can't pull off his Genius of Horror Metal without it! It's the Entire range of Feelings!
King Diamond has listened to a lot of R&B.
Probably the best, yet extremely difficult song to sing, because of the very clean high notes. Respect!
oh yes... he hits those high notes as a god kinda
Hey bro. Listen to Gato Juanito on RUclips. His range of voice is similar. True!
It is not that hard to hit those notes, it is called falsetto. A bit harder to do it well though in song after song :)
Joel Miranda el rango del gato Juanito no está ni cerca de king diamond, king diamond usa falsete en las partes más suaves y bajas, pero los tonos más altos son voz de cabeza, en cambio el que hace de gato Juanito hace un falsete muy aireado y plano
Revener666 some parts are falsetto, but some others are actually head voice, and it's not that easy to do it if you are singing In a really high note, it's really hard to control, especially the vibrato
Abigail. One of the greatest metal albums ever recorded. Easily in the all-time top 20, right alongside Paranoid, Heaven and Hell, Stained Class, etc.
i agree !!!
This is my song. 🎧 I’m sitting on the porch at my grandpa’s house. The sun is shining. 🌞 Birds are chirping. 🦢 Hummingbirds birds are flying around. There’s a white horse about 20 yards away from me. 🐎 I love King Diamond. ♥️ ♦️
"beware of the slippery stairs, you could easily fall... AND BREAK YOUR NECK!" (insert hysterical laughter)
the accompanying riff is also very sick
Im still rockin out to this classic song in 2024 # 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
I'm only 19 but I've loved king diamond for years now. And I can't wait till November when I get to see him preform the full Abigail album in concert :D
I remember first seeing this premiere on Headbangers Ball, blistering opening solo & then the King! Thank God I grew up in the 80's!
So much talent in this band unreal
Yeah a ridiculous amount. I wish king could still sing like he did back then.
My body is quaking this is magical.
He's the best metal voice and his style is unique and his albums have amazing stories in them...and i am not afraid to say he's totally hot too.
King Diamond always had the most badass guitarists
Hold on King! He is a very complete vocalist, domains the scene and he does it excellent even through the time that has passed.
KD has some great music, look at each album and read the lyrics and u'll find its just like a story. he's truly one of a kind
Just a perfect video of a perfect song on a perfect album with a perfect line-up and perfect production! All hail the King!
It's amazing how frozen in time everyone in this video is, just stuck in the 80's aesthetic, yet looking at King, he is just so timeless...
I love how king diamond puts a story telling elment in his songs like a ballad
Hell I’ve known that for years that King has the best metal voice!! If you love metal than that goes without saying!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Man, I've loved this album for years, never actually watched the video. It's a really special level of ridiculous....
Evil Elmo singing 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Walk down the street late at night with earbuds in your ears, top volume while listening to the lyrics. Scariest shit ever
After smoking green too
Never got bored for this song. Especially the solo guitar part!
Last week I saw it performed live, still sound incredible and King sang it perfectly. What a show, long live to the king
Faz mais de 30 anos que ouço este album e ainda sinto pele de galinha - Hail to the King!
Michael Denner's solo is definitely one of my top 5.
Man this song is sick. I enjoy lifting weights to the King! I know most people hate remastered albums, but I would love to hear the guitar work remastered and just a tad more clear!
+Denver Wood Same ;) \../,
Hell yeah, I lift to the King all the time, gets me fuckin’ pumped!
Man, he still sounds great. Love the studio version, but having seen him live a couple times, he still has a strong voice even today.
This is a classic !!! Still in 2024 !!! All hail the King ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Mikkey dee , killer drummer
Monster in Motorhead too.
+JakeDaigo yeah bro !
Is it just me, or does King Diamond's band just not seem to go with him? It looks like a black metal singer with Whitesnake backing him up.
TheMightyThor83 haha
TheMightyThor83 dude beavis and butthead watching the bellwitch had a good laugh about it as well. its supposed to be a joke? lol
Hahah. I love every member, but the hairdos and silly spandex is kinda lame. It's definitely 80s metal.
Black metal*
TheMightyThor83 Mikkey Dee's awesome
I listen to king diamond every single day at work and i listen to it multiple times, i can't get enough of it.
This song is perfect. Hail the king
when I first heard it I thought "what the hell" but now I can't stop.
Same...
You got to admit, the musicianship is pretty damn good
amazing guitar duo on this album.
1 of a kind Singer!!!! No one compares!!!!;with a band thats a 10 out of 10🤘🤘
I was fortunate enough to see them live in the 80s. I bought every album and knew all of the lyrics. The whole band was talented.
Bom muito bom se eu nao me engano 86 esse Clip e até hj ta na ativa e ainda considero uma das melhores bandas do mundo
Abigail was King Diamond's best album in my opinion. One of the best 80s metal albums.
the portrait
Them...The Graveyard are his two best, but i like most if not all of them.
I would be, if Fatal Portrait didn't exist :)
One of the best metal albums EVER!!!
Oh gee what a shocking opinion considering most everyone agrees.
This is some of the best in metal.
One of the best metal albums
Best bands
Vocalists
Guitarists
Everything about this band screams Metal. Hail to the King.
Hail the most notorious falsetto singer
Una de las mejores canciones de King.
Quando comecei a ouvir metal eu achava King Diamond chato. Hoje em dia tenho ouvidos para notar como o som é foda. Nada como o tempo para amadurecer os nossos gostos.
escute angra deve lhe agradar também... mas vc já deve conhecer...
O mesmo comigo! Antes não gostava, agora adoro a banda!
Foi assim comigo também quando comecei a ouvir. Faz uns 10 anos que sou alucinada pelas vozes dele.
eu nunca tinha me interessado. ouvi sem querer e me viciei
Comecei a ouvir ele e esses dias e to viciado, aquela Dangerous Meeting não sai da minha cabeça
I heard The Family Ghost for the 1srt time, and his vocals gave me chills!
I ❤ this song, he sings like a KING
We love you, King!
What a badass. I love king diamond and Andy is an insane guitar player.
ERIC GIBSON great music... his voice and the band. WOW!!
John Wahan Agreed!
Ummm. So was Pete blakk
There's 2 guitarists. Pete blakk and Andy.
Andy is one of the few remaining GREAT guitarists still alive from metals golden age.
One of the songs in one of my Favourite albums of My Life : King Diamond's Abigail .An Absolute Masterpiece !!! Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!
My dad showed me this band when i was like 11 and im 15 and still rocking
The best vocalist in the black metal. 👍👍👍👍👍
Oh my god. So great. Never gets old. THIS record....
Amazing....extremely difficult.....and King....The voice of King is awesome.
Didn't even realize there was an official music video for this until just now. Abigail is one of the BEST concept albums of all time.
King Diamond are truly one of the bands of all time. The vocals are made with someone’s voice. The songs are songs that you can hear with your ears. They have albums. Definitely are one of the bands I’ve heard.
The BEST comment ever about King Diamond,LOL😂
You're right dude, idk how anyone cant appreciate his voice. No one uses the falsetto like he does.
Been a fan of his since I was 8 years old now I'm 43 and still a huge fan!
One of THEE BADDEST opening riffs for a metal tune. PURE GENIUS.
Looking forward seeing you guys this November 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Unique!!! Cheers from Mexico 🇲🇽
Horale! Salute 🍺 🇺🇸
ABIGAIL....ONE OF THE BEST STORY ALBUMS EVER MADE.....EACH SONG IS A CHAPTER IN THE STORY, AND IT ALL LEADS UP TO A SINISTER HARROWING CLIMAX OF HORROR SHOW PROPORTIONS.....BRILLIANT IN EVERY WAY....ITS LIKE "ROSEMARYS BABY" DONE IN METAL.....THOSE RIFFS STUCK IN MY MIND FOR YEARS AFTER I HEARD IT.....
Creativity and genius. The musicians are very technically skilled, too!
A while ago I said that King Diamond was shit. But damn... I really regret that statement. This song and band is fucking awesome!!!!!
Hellz yeayah
+ØYVIND Let me guess, "King Diamond sucks he sounds like a gurl dis not br00tal derp" right? That's what most people who don't like King Diamond (at first) say.
+ØYVIND : I instantly loved this song when i watched it brand new on TV 30 years ago. :)
King Diamond is highly respected in the music industry for several reasons. Let's not forget that King and Mercyful Fate inspired Metallica. ;)
V3ntilator :>
#PKK #Rojava #Kurdistan
King diamond his voice is phenomenal !!!!
he fucking sounds exactly like that live yo
I saw him in the late 80s and he STILL SOUNDS THAT WAY...WITH NO freakin auto tune
Started listening to King in 1988 when I was in high school still awesome!!!
Today is my first experience with King Diamond and his voice is other worldly
Me encanta esta canción;))
What the fuck!! Mickey mouse has a band!!!
Tu tem cara de quem escuta a7x, entao fecha o cu pra falar de king diamond
Não gosto de avenged :/
Sorry, não falo mais do Mickey satânico.
Doom666 Please, dont cry.
***** Hahahahaha! That was funny.
***** You are a special kind of douchebag. If you don't like King Diamond, you clearly came just to stir shit up, at which point I have to ask do you really have nothing better to do?
Great song! Lots of memories. 😊
The King sure can sing ,no one could cover his songs and do them justice
0:38 Climbs up the stairs.... then eats a samwich. Satanic glory!
A bat, a bat.
@@gustabartok A Bat Sammich!
Quotes from famous musician and High ranking Church of Satan member and very close friend to Anton LaVey - King Diamond "Satanism is about the Powers of the Unknown. I have had hundreds of strange supernatural experiences with the occult, the other side, the beyond, whatever you want to call it that proves there is a spiritual world that can cross over into our world. Satanism is a life philosophy so within it you can have your own religion, any religion you want. Or take from various religions or your own whatever makes you happy. I have my own beliefs and Religiously Satan on a spiritual level stands for the Powers of Darkness, the Powers of the Unknown which are always all around us at all times. This is the best way to talk about these Spirits and Powers. Not a god or a devil as both of them are christian god's and that has nothing to do with Satanism. Of course there are different types of satanism. And I never wear gold as that is not healthy for you!
Must need something bad and use that during ritual then you might be able to get help from these powers I believe are all around us. But that is only if they like you. I do not believe in the two christians beings god or the Devil, I believe in the Powers of the Unknown, Powers of Darkness, The Powers of the Occult what ever name you want to use. . I have done Satanic Rituals and have seen and heard spirits.
Some people like to call "Them" God or the Devil or whatever, but I do not believe there is all one good and one all bad power. I believe there are many, many different Spirits and Powers that exist and that they are not good or evil, like humans they have both inside of them and I always treat them with the highest amount of respect and feel that respect returned by Them. It is massive mutual respect. Not Power, but Powers, Big difference. I believe we are one and the same me and these Unknown Forces. You really have to respect them for the incredible power they have. I believe they come to those who they feel can handle it and who will be faithful believers." In the song "Welcome Princess of Hell" you hear me singing to these spirits and powers and they sing back to me.
They came to me to let me know they are here for me on my journey and that they are behind me and that they wish me good luck so I see them as my protectors almost like guardian angels. We all live several lives so that our powers/souls can grow in order to reach a higher plane and join with something greater. Our powers live in a human shell several times that will enable us to go on to a new life form a higher plane of being or join one day with a larger greater force. But 99 percent of the population live by the Satanic Philosophy whether they know it or not.
As Anton LaVey even told me that Satanism is simply a life philosophy and NOT a religion. Satanism is basically Humanism. Satanism is based on logic and things that are proven which is why it could never be a religion as religion is based on things that cannot be proven.
And that’s why I say that these powers of darkness are always welcome in my home. It’s as if the powers of the unknown came and said ‘Hey, we will stay with you and help you.’ That’s what I feel.” When I almost died during surgery I saw my body below as a demon tried to enter my soul and I had to fight him! These things are very real!
Personally I do not use electrical lighting at home and on my Satanic Altar or in the studio when I record vocals, only black candles as electrical lighting drives away the spirits and I love having them near me. People who see Satanism from the Christian view point are not treating these powers with respect and that is very dangerous. I once actually summoned a spirit in order to prove they are real to a girl who doubted and Satan came. My wife will not look in our mirror in fear something will come out.
In Satanism you are your own God. LaVey felt and I agree that we are all individuals born with different needs and views and so he felt everyone should make up their own mind about what to believe in spiritually if anything at all which is why he left a huge void in the Satanic Bible when it came to spirituality or any kind of religious beliefs and so within the Satanic Philosophy a person can still be a Christian if that fulfills their spiritual needs. Satan also means the Opposite, Inverted, Reversed which is why we wear the Satanic crosses and pentagrams. Satan means the opposite of religion. Satanism is living out your feelings and instincts without feeling it is a sin, enjoy yourself while you are here now while you can and have your own individual beliefs. One thing I consider almost mandatory though is believing there are powers around us. And you can use these powers to help yourself or those you care about. Or throw these powers at people in a negative way. I am not religious at all but you can say I am spiritual due to my experiences and beliefs. The Satanic bible is not really a bible because a bible is for religion so it should be called a book of philosophy instead. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
When people see the word ‘Satan’ they see only negative. Satan is not only bad, to me. It represents both sides of everything. I don’t believe in the Christian devil.
“Christianity has both God and the devil. I believe there is neither of these two. I believe in the powers of the unknown, which I have experienced many times. I know that rituals work. I don’t do them often because you can easily misuse them. They will get back at you if you don’t respect them. Rituals can channel the forces that surround us all the time but I respect the powers and will not abuse them in any way. The Satanic Bible is 70 percent Philosophy and 30 percent magic. Satan is the power of the universe. Satan to me is the Powers of Darkness, not a man with horns. Some people think Satanism is what the Christian church portrays it to be. If you are as bad and as evil as you can be and you think that’s Satanism then you have become part of the Christian religion. That is Christian Satanism which is not what I am about at all.
@@PRHILL9696
I'm confused. How is Satanism not a religion? Isn't it a religion with a philosophy?
@@Amadeus-ms9lt With satanism you take responsibility for your life and actions. You don't look to a god to direct your life. You are the director. You don't ask a god to forgive you. You ask the person you wronged to forgive you. This is basic and by no means a complete definition.
Cuando era adolecente estaba enamorada del rey diamante....
The fact that I am just now discovering this dude and immediately realized he is the inspiration for one of the cheesiest yet awesomest characters in my favorite anime makes this so much better 😂
I had this video on VHS in the late 90's. It was the first time I 'met' the King, since then I am a fan!
This song is sick
KING DIAMOND RULES THE WORLD \,,,/
The ending is epic! It sends chills down my spine
Been a fan of king diamond since 83 from fate days and love his solo career I've got this track in the album Abigail and it's on picture disk brought it when released and still own it today , great album great track and great video and a young Mikey Dee before going the mighty motorhead 😮
“This dude kinda looks like, uhmmm... kinda looks that dude on Sesame Street, The Count. Hehehehe...”
-Beavis
I just watched the clip that was really funny.
Reminds me of the rock n roll clown... you know the one. 👍
@@jdog7797 Roxxxo.

Once a member of the King's court always a member of the King's court
Me encantaaaa la canción. No paro de cucharla :)
