Podcast appearances and mentions of King Diamond

Billy Bob Thornton returns to share fascinating tales from his six-year residency at LA's iconic Sunset Marquis Hotel, featured in the new documentary 'If These Walls Could Rock.' He recounts wild encounters with neighbors like Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, and Richard Harris, plus some pretty outrageous moments on the property. Billy Bob also discusses The Boxmasters' 21st album and their incredible experience opening for The Who, where they earned standing ovations. After that, Soul Asylum frontman Dave Pirner sits down for a wide-ranging conversation about the band's upcoming double album MPLS Unplugged. Dave opens up about being a self-described technophobe who just recently got an iPhone, the story behind Prince covering 'Stand Up and Be Strong,' and how the new acoustic record differs from their MTV Unplugged performance 30 years ago. They dive into Dave's songwriting process, which songs work acoustically versus electrically, and the incredible impact of 'Runaway Train' on both missing children and mental health awareness. Rounding out the podcast, Mikkey Dee joins for an in-depth conversation covering his terrifying health scare with sepsis that led to three surgeries and five weeks in the hospital. The Scorpions and former Motorhead drummer explains how the aggressive infection nearly took his right leg and his life. He discusses the formation of Lex Legion, reuniting four-fifths of a classic King Diamond lineup to create old-school metal with a modern twist. Mikkey also talks about Scorpions' continued vitality (despite the band members approaching 80), their upcoming Vegas residency, and why he's now the last man standing to carry Motorhead's torch forward.  Catch Eddie Trunk every M-F from 3:00-5:00pm ET on Trunk Nation on SiriusXM Faction Talk Channel 103.And don't forget to follow Eddie on X, Instagram & TikTok!Follow the link to get your free 3-month trial of SiriusXM: http://siriusxm.com/eddietrunk Find all episodes of Trunk Nation: https://siriusxm.com/trunknation Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“It's been a while since we've been to a show together…”   The STRAP IT DOWN Summer Tour kicks off on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at The Eastern in Atlanta, Georgia, featuring DOWN, HELMET, & SPIRIT IN THE ROOM, so naturally, we decided to engage in a little PRE-GAME preparation to get in the right headspace for the show.    As you may recall, we last traveled to The Eastern back in 2024 when we saw King Diamond and Overkill, and the sound and layout of the venue made for one of the best concert experiences we've had in quite some time. Having said that, we are equally excited to get to see DOWN & HELMET on the first date of this tour at this venue as this show (and tour) promises to be one of the most crushing metal events of the summer.    Always remember that when you're buying tour shirts to “get ‘em big, because when you do laundry, things shrink”.  Find out who's getting the “hog slap” and discover which podcast makes “laying face down more enjoyable” when you JOIN US for the PRE-GAME show as we kick things off in preparation for the STRAP IT DOWN Summer Tour featuring DOWN & HELMET.

Vi er nået til den sidste halvdel af de metalliske 90'ere. Året er 1996 og vores overskrift, “Nye ladninger”, dækker ikke mindst over Metallicas første studiealbum i knapt fem år, “Load”. Men der var også ferske album-ladninger fra nyere navne som Rage Against The Machine, Tool, Korn og Marilyn Manson, og fra ældre bands som Pantera, Slayer, Sepultura, Soundgarden, Manowar, Type O Negative, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate og veteranerne Deep Purple. Studievært Jens "Jam" Rasmussen fører os gennem metalåret 1996 i selskab med seriens tre faste studiegæster, Steffen Jungersen, Michael Stützer Hansen og Michael Denner. Nedslagspunkter: - Metallicas nye image og bandfotos tager en del af opmærksomheden, men hvordan lyder deres nye album “Load” så? Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer besvarer spørgsmålet. - På forskellig vis har vi også en mere eller mindre søgt Metallica-vinkel på årets udspil fra C.O.C., Apocalyptica, Soundgarden og Rage Against The Machine. - Vi har endda også en Rage Against The Machine- vinkel på Tool, en Korn-vinkel på Korn, en Marilyn Manson-vinkel på Marilyn Manson og… en Manowar- vinkel på Manowar (vi tør ikke andet). - Årets hårdere metal-plader kommer fra blandt andre Carcass, Dominus, Darkthrone, Pantera, Slayer og Sepultura. - Type O Negatives fjerde album “October Rust” bliver en af Black Sabbath-trommeslager Bill Wards favorit metal-plader. Men hvad synes Jungersen og Stützer så om denne gode goth metal-skive? - Ritchie Blackmore er ude af Deep Purple, der i stedet hyrer Steve Morse (ex-Dixie Dregs) på albummet "Purpendicular". Der er intet galt med Morse som person eller guitarist, men både Jungersen, Stützer og Michael Denner begræder kombinationen. - King Diamond har et højaktivt efterår med nye album- udspil i både eget band og Mercyful Fate. Sidstnævntes “Into The Unknown” har fat i både den lange og tunge ende, mener Denner og Jungersen samstemmende. Stor tak til vores studiegæster, Steffen Jungersen, Michael Stützer og Michael Denner, supervisor Jan Eriksen, og til dig, der lytter med! Vi er tilbage med 1997-afsnittet om cirka et par uger.

The Metal Geeks are back with another round of brand new geekery!

People magazine reports that Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson have ended their engagement — Scott Penfold explains why this isn't new, why it isn't connected to the Slipknot situation no matter how the timing looks, and what's actually changed this week. Plus Mercyful Fate announce their first live show in over three years, headed to Leyendas Del Rock in Spain in August 2027 with King Diamond, Hank Shermann, Mike Wead, Bjarne T. Holm and Becky Baldwin — and their long-awaited album still hasn't surfaced. And a harder one to close on: Veeps and Live Nation have gutted Revolver, Alternative Press, BrooklynVegan and Goldmine, with allegations now surfacing from a former employee about workplace treatment. A word about the people who write the things you read, and what it costs when they're gone.

This week we continue our deep dive into Night Demon's fall 2024 tour supporting King Diamond and Overkill in North America. On November 7, 2024, the tour rolled into the great city of Chicago for a performance at the legendary, beautiful, historic Chicago Theatre. Although the venue was amazing, the day was not without challenges. You will hear about the impact of union hall restrictions on the band's setup and soundcheck, the travails of a seated show and the band's reaction to same, as well as Laura's most embarrassing moment of the entire tour. But you will also hear how Night Demon prevailed and conquered, with extensive audio clips from the gig and overall sentiments of gratitude and joy to be performing in the Windy City at such an exceptional location.Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.

Dread Media returns! And it's back with a look at the Witchboard movies! *wait for applause to die down* Desmond and Tom look at the remake: Witchboard. They also talk a lot about the original. Then, Des goes solo on the rest of the films in the series: Witchboard, Witchboard 2: The Devil's Doorway, Witchboard III: The Possession, and Witchtrap, which is not part of the series, but it's pretty close and probably a better movie than all the others. Songs included: "Spirits" by King Diamond, "Ouija Board Lies" by L7, "Kill in the Spirit World" by Black Sabbath, and "Us vs Them" by Sick of it All.

This week we continue our coverage of Night Demon's fall 2024 tour with King Diamond and Overkill. The tale picks up in Mississauga, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto, at a comfortable modern venue nestled inside a casino. You'll hear audio of multiple songs aired by Night Demon that night, plus a glowing review of the gig. From there, we chronicle the perils and pitfalls of the border crossing back into the U.S. enroute to Detroit for a show at the legendary Masonic Temple. Band and crew describe the venue, load-in and conditions in extensive detail.LINKSGCT Theatre - The Theatre at Great Canadian TorontoMasonic Temple - The Masonic Temple Detroit Listen at nightdemon.net/podcast or anywhere you listen to podcasts!

This week's episode is devoted to November 2, 2024, when Night Demon performed in Montreal, Quebec, Canada alongside King Diamond and Overkill. We begin the tale with the drive north from Boston, a bit of UFO nerding out, and a treacherous border crossing gone smoothly. Then we dig into the Montreal show, where the guys played a blinder of a gig in front of a raucous and enthusiastic crowd, with extra love for "Dawnrider" and good friends on hand.

Drummer Mikkey Dee celebrates his new band Lex Legion, reflects on his career and discusses why he turned down Motorhead at first.

This week we continue our comprehensive discussion of Night Demon's fall 2024 tour with the legendary King Diamond. This episode focuses on a two-night stand in Boston, Massachusetts. The first night was a King Diamond tour stop on Halloween. The guys talk about the special aspects of that day, including presenting King with lyrics to an unfinished song of his, sporting King Diamond makeup on stage, and playing a special setlist including an unexpected cover version. The next day, Night Demon were still in Boston, but used the off day from the King Diamond tour to play a memorable but fogless Cirith Ungol gig at the Middle East in Cambridge.Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.

This week we continue our coverage of Night Demon's fall 2024 tour with King Diamond by highlighting a pair of shows in Brooklyn, New York on back-to-back nights in late October. The first gig was an off day for the King Diamond tour, so Jarvis and Armand played a sweaty club show with their other band, the legendary Cirith Ungol from Ventura, California. The second night was a King Diamond tour stop at the magnificent, cavernous Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, where Night Demon received first-class treatment, played a blinder of a gig, changed up the setlist, and met up with some good friends.

We continue our chronicle of Night Demon's fall 2024 tour supporting King Diamond and Overkill this week.  The story resumes at the St. Petersburg, FL show, which was at a beautiful large theater. Despite some technical issues, the show was a triumphant success for Night Demon, later celebrated with waterparks, slurpees and raccoons. After a long day off's drive to the metro Washington DC area, the tour resumed in Silver Spring, MD, where the band played a blinder of a gig. You will hear funny stories about stages that were too narrow, drum kits being struck, and impromptu merch directional signage.Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.

This week we continue the epic story of Night Demon's fall 2024 tour supporting King Diamond and Overkill across America. We resume the tale on an off night for the King Diamond tour, which Overkill and Night Demon parlayed into a club gig at the Ground Zero in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The guys explain in some detail the venue setup, the setlist, the strategy for the evening, and a technical issue that derailed "Outsider" almost immediately. From there, the band traveled to Atlanta, Georgia for the next King Diamond show at an ornate theater called The Eastern, with Jarvis's family and other special guests in attendance. Jarvis breaks down the setlist and explains why Night Demon chose to emphasize older material on this tour.Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.

År 1995 var også År 25 efter Black Sabbath, og i dette metalliske sølvbryllupsår anvender vi overskriften “Midtvejs-metalkrise”. Fordi den traditionelle heavy metal var kommet i outsider-rollen, hvor selveste Iron Maiden kom på glatis, mens masser af nye bands og subgenrer piblede frem. Men “krisen” var også, som ordet betyder: et slags vendepunkt på vej for den originale heavy metal. Men mere end noget andet var “hård rock” og “metal” blevet en meget mangfoldig musikkultur i både udtryk, attitude og alder. Hvor en ny generation i 1995 dyrkede bands som Fear Factory, Paradise Lost og albumdebutanterne Down og Rammstein, mens gamle, ikoniske navne som AC/DC, Motörhead, Black Sabbath og Ozzy stadigvæk holdt sig rimeligt relevante i året. Dette metalliske og multi-agtige midt-90'er år bliver gennemgået af studievært Jens "Jam" Rasmussen og de tre faste studiegæster: Steffen Jungersen, Michael Stützer Hansen og Michael Denner. Nedslagspunkter: - Trommeslager Phil Rudd er tilbage i AC/DC, som swinger igen på det nye album “Ballbreaker” og på turneen, der bringer os over til et par vilde shows i Mexico City. - Mikkey Dee tilfører ligeledes swinget i Motörhead på albummet "Sacrifice". Jungersen-jublen er vedblivende. - King Diamond udgiver albummet “The Spider's Lullaby”, mens bandets ex-guitarist Michael Denner har fokus på den næste Mercyful Fate-plade, der skal “bisses lidt op”. - En ung Michael Poulsen debuterer i bandet Dominus med sortklædt death metal og dybe dødsgrowl på albummet “View to the Dim”. - To generationer i fælles metal-indsats: Black Sabbath hyrer Bodycount-guitaristen Ernie C som producer på “Forbidden”, hvor frontmand Ice-T gæster. Sabbath-bassist Geezer Butler og bandet G/Z/R udsender albummet “Plastic Planet” med Burton C. Bell (Fear Factory) som sanger. - Ozzy udgiver “Ozzmosis”, som bliver hans sidste relevante album i en længere periode, mener Steffen Jungersen. - Blandt årets bedste album: Down med “NOLA” og Fear Factory med “Demanufacture”. - Interessante debutanter: Svenske Opeth og tyske Rammstein. - Hvad har D-A-D og Rob Halfords band Fight til fælles? De inspireres begge (i nogen grad) af tidens tunge rocklyd á la Soundgarden. - Vi rapporterer fra årets mest metalliske koncertdag i Donnington, England, hvor Metallica lufter nye numre og Skid Row-sanger Sebastian Bach headbanger løs med studieværten. - Iron Maiden udgiver album nr. 10 , “The X Factor”, men træffer et fatalt valg i den nye vokalist Blaze Bayley, beklager Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer med én stemme. - Paradise Lost udgiver det forrygende hovedværk “Draconian Times”, som ender samtale-seancen og hele dette afsnit i fuld begejstring. Kæmpe tak til vores studiegæster, Steffen Jungersen, Michael Stützer og Michael Denner, supervisor Jan Eriksen, og til dig, der valgte at lytte med! Vi er tilbage med 1996-afsnittet om cirka et par uger. Idé, tilrettelæggelse, research og produktion: Jens "Jam" Rasmussen Ass. produktion og supervision: Jan Eriksen Foto: Jens “Jam” Rasmussen

Andy LaRocque and Pete Blakk join Metal Mayhem ROC to discuss Lex Legion, a brand-new band featuring fellow King Diamond-era alumni Mikkey Dee and Hal Patino, along with acclaimed vocalist Nils K. Rue. While the lineup will be familiar to longtime metal fans, Lex Legion is its own band with its own sound, identity, and powerful debut album. We discuss the origins of the band, favorite songs from the record, material that didn't make the final cut, plans for album number two, future live performances, and the chemistry that still exists between these musicians nearly forty years after they first played together. https://www.metalmayhemroc.com https://lexlegionofficial.com Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we resume our chronicle of Night Demon's fall 2024 tour supporting King Diamond and Overkill. We pick up the tale with Night Demon confronting a 3,000 seat venue outside St. Louis, Missouri, with a huge stage and a massive crowd. They explain how they called an audible to include "Hallowed Ground" in the setlist tonight, and how they started changing up the set on a nightly basis thereafter. From there the tour proceeded east to a fancy theater in downtown Kansas City, where you will hear how the seated show worked to Night Demon's advantage, King Diamond the artist made it fun, and the boys ran out into the crowd to mow them down during "Night Demon."Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.

NSS's musical direction is stylistically hard to pin down as he refuses to be categorized, bracketed, nailed down, pinpointed, shepherded, or grouped but one might suggest, taking a little Frank Zappa, adding a generous portion of The Allman Brother's Band, throwing in a dash of Harry Chapin then mix thoroughly with the essence of King Diamond, chill, distill through a Jean Michele Jarre filter, and serve with a slice of attitude on the side. Noel visited the Flamingo Lounge on May 13, 2026 to talk about and share his music.

This week we continue our deep dive into Night Demon's fall 2024 tour supporting King Diamond and Overkill throughout North America. We pick up the narrative after a long drive from Texas to Cincinnati. The guys explain the process of getting their feet wet and becoming comfortable with fellow touring bands and crews. Cincinnati was a seated show, and the boys discuss their feelings about that and the impact on the vibe of the gig. From there, they talk about their history in St. Louis and their longstanding tradition of playing in rough areas of town, with an unexpected Escape from New York connection.Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.

“Would it be fair to say that horror metal and death metal are kinda…symbiotic?”   Released May 25, 1987, SCREAM BLOODY GORE, the debut album from Florida death metal pioneers DEATH, marks a dark and transformative turning point from thrash metal into something else…something with “thrash overtones” that “sounds like thrash” but also doesn't. While it seemed to be the next logical evolutionary step for extreme metal, we weren't exactly sure what it was. It was still thrashy, yet there was a much darker presence to it than the thrash to which we were accustomed.   “They don't have the cookie monster vocals, which is kinda nice…”   As it turns out, when you mix in the violent themes of horror movies like ‘Evil Dead' with the sonic intensity of thrash metal, you end up with death metal, the genre which Chuck Schuldiner and DEATH helped establish in the mid 1980's, putting Florida on the map as the death metal capital of the world.    “They just have a sound…if you take the vocals out, you can tell it's Death.” Discover how immersion reading can make Dr. Seuss and Lord of the Rings even more compelling, always remember where you should  “NEVER put alcohol…”, and find out which song on this album was “renamed” (thanks to the PMRC) when you JOIN US (with special guest “Xander Bonerman”) as we explore the dark depths of the debut album from the band that revolutionized extreme metal by launching a brand new subgenre of horror infused thrash with DEATH and SCREAM BLOODY GORE.

This week, we join a roundtable discussion with Night Demon band and crew as they recount their recollections of their fall 2024 North American tour supporting King Diamond and Overkill. They discuss the logistics of being on such a large-scale tour with such a massive production. They also describe their feelings of detachment upon playing a seated show in Houston, TX where the venue was selling their merch for them. And they share memories of a grueling 14-hour drive to Cincinnati, OH under a full moon.LINKSRandy's Smokehouse - https://www.facebook.com/NB.BBQ/Thomas Mantell - Mantell UFO incident - Wikipedia Listen at nightdemon.net/podcast or anywhere you listen to podcasts!

It was great to connect with the legendary Mikkey Dee. This guy has been the backbeat of bands from King Diamond to Don Dokken, to Motorhead, to the Scorpions. Now you can add his latest band, Lex Legion, to that list. Made up of guys he played with in King Diamond's band, Andy LaRocque, Pete Blakk, and Hal Patino, then throw in vocalist Nils K. Rue, and you've got a band that delivers heavy-hitting, old-school rock/metal.The Motorhead YearsWe talked about his time in Motorhead, which lasted 25 years. He said if Lemmy were still alive, he'd still be in that band. He compared it to a tight family unit. He also said Lem was the kind of guy to stick to his guns. "And as frustrating as that was sometimes, because he did not know everything best, you know? We were a total democracy in this band. We voted him down many times, me and Phil. I was maybe a little bit more involved with the business as well. You know, they, we all made decisions. That's, that's now where I'm trying to get, get out. But I'm actually interested in numbers and, and, you know, the business side of it. And they were just like more, oh, what the hell, you deal with it, kind of." Mikkey went on, "You know, and he, he made me look in a different angle about it. And, he was right, you know, a lot of times about this, not compromising the band or selling out. And, you know, I learned a lot from him there."Lex LegionThe new self-titled album drops on June 12th. It's short, clocking in at around 35 minutes. Mikkey said they did that so the vinyl release wouldn't sound too compressed. It consists of 9 songs.Mikkey said he enjoyed making this album. "A hundred percent, you know, because a lot of people, rightfully so, compare us now to the old Diamond Records that we did. But that's how we wrote music those days. And we continue writing this way. We are probably a nightmare for a more regular producer who will tear his or her hair off. Because why is this part over here? Why are you doing a double solo there? Or why do you have guitar harmonies after there?And it doesn't make any sense. But that's how we wrote those days. And that's the whole point of this, you know. We continue doing this on this record. It's not just verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, verse, double chorus ending."He did tell me that they're already working on the next record! "We're riffing away already. And as I said, I'll be very busy with Scorpions at least up till October. The last thing we do, as far as I know right now, is the residency in Vegas."Playing With The ScorpionsMikkey has been in the Scorpions for the better part of ten years now. They have an upcoming residency in Las Vegas coming up again this fall. "We love it. And we have so many friends in Vegas. And what a great city. Great people. Great venue." As far as the setlist for that band is concerned, he said it's close to last years celbration of the band's 60th anniversary. "But this year is an extension of last year's 60th anniversary show. And it's really, really good. I mean, we have a great 70s medley in there. And the set works really fine. Because I was asking the guys before we actually started this year, what are we going to take out? What are we going to add about rehearsal and stuff? And they said they want us to continue doing the 60th anniversary show. And it's great!"The new Lex Legion record drops on June 12th.

“He's looking at me…”   Released on August 22, 1989, CLIMBIN' THE WALLS, the major label debut album from Martinsburg, West Virginia thrash metal savants WRATHCHILD AMERICA, is undoubtedly one of the most uniquely profound thrash metal albums in all of heavy metal history to be crafted by one of the most extraordinarily talented (and criminally underrated) bands in the entire genre.    And to think, for many metalheads back in the day, their very first experience with this album was in a LIVE concert setting, opening for Testament. Just imagine how blessed one would be to see a band as unbelievable as WRATHCHILD AMERICA (for the very first time) opening for an established act like Testament and being completely blown away after just one show, having NEVER heard the album before getting to see them LIVE!    “He's making eye contact…”   With a stylistic palette that blends thrash, heavy metal, and 70's classic rock, there is absolutely NO ONE else in metal who sounds ANYTHING like them.

“I don't think I'm smart enough to listen to this…”   As with the many legendary concept albums that have come before, masterpieces such as King Diamond's Abigail, Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime, and Dream Theater's Scenes From A Memory, THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, the latest offering from OPETH, is one of the finest examples of storytelling ever captured in audio form and is their first proper “concept album” to date.    “They cram so much into such a small space…”   Chronicling the reading of the will of a wealthy patriarch (and featuring Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull as the patriarch in question), THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT perfectly represents the culmination of the various components that have established OPETH as a progressive metal force to be reckoned with for more than 30 years.    “I realize this is not y'all's favorite flavor of the month…”   With a seamless blending of their early progressive and melodic death metal period through their more eclectic, 70's prog rock infused progressive metal period of the 2010's, OPETH is akin to a “haunted house version of Dream Theater”, loaded with a wide  variety of sonic textures, top tier instrumental prowess, and vivid lyrical imagery, all of which are covered in a thin drapery of darkness.    “Have they ever done anything ‘hooky'?”   JOIN US as we take on what is arguably one of the finest progressive metal concept albums in existence (and most certainly a top contender for “Album Of The Year”) and quite possibly the greatest OPETH album of all time, THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can't be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast Show Notes: (00:01): “I would like to take this moment to say…AND…” / #GeorgiaBulldogs / “Dangole sports ball dawgs…” / #Natty / “Speaking of Athens…my only thought was…R.E.M. must have written this song…”/ #WeBuiltThisCityASMR / “That's when they dropped the Jefferson…”/ “As long as there's a bend in the wrist, you're fine…”/ #markthetime / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / #waitforit #markthetime / “And I screamed like a little girl…not one footstep did I hear…”/ ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST!!!*** / #strangerinthetub #jackoffhand / “Like a chimpanzee?”    (06:06): PATREON US at www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast  / “Who knows?
