Dangerous Meeting

€22.99
Song-by-song, album-per-chapter book looking at the exemplary catalogue of King Diamond’s devilish original band, from Melissa and Don’t Break the Oath in the eighties to a vastly under-rated run of top-shelf reunion records in the nineties.
The King Diamond catalogue gets a more informal look-in along the way, but most of this is about the hard, spooky work that went into one of the classiest metal catalogues of all time.
