Description
Songs For The Dead is King Diamond‘s highly anticipated LIVE release for entire generations of heavy metal enthusiasts, many of whom have yet to experience one of King Diamond's monumental live performances in person. Filmed & recorded live in concert in the US and Belgium, "Songs for the Dead" is the commercial offering of King Diamond's 2015 tour "Abigail In Concert". All the bases are covered, with two full concerts shot in their entirety, one from the US, and another from the European festival circuit in 2016. King Diamond's full stage and lighting production are on display in this masterfully pro-shot package.

Hope there's a Blu Ray to go with this (as has been said).

Can I assume that this means it will be at least another year until we see the next studio album?

I somehow missed this post!

All hail the King!

I will get this without doubt, but yes, I sure hope a DVD is included and where is that DVD retrospective?

And the studio album?

Found out some more details.

There are going to be two separate shows on DVD from 2015 (Philly) and 2016 (Belgium at Graspop Festival).

The live album goes with that.

The studio album is looking like 2019 and it's a full-blown concept album. *I read fall 2018, but no way that's happening).

Also, this date may be Nov. 2, but that could be just the DVDs.

Here is a look at "Halloween" which looks and sounds spectacular...

A bonafide live DVD.

I am all over this.

Unfortunately, the listings have gone dormant again. We'll keep watch for when they come back.

Note there is a limited edition box set (3000) that includes the Blu-ray, DVDs, CDs, bonus CD of the Graspop show and a bunch of other stuff (poster, laminate, guitar pick, etc, etc, etc).

I was at the Philly show so I may be on the DVD.

I doubt it though, because I do not mosh.

Well, if you are on the DVD, wave to us when we watch after it comes out. That way, we know it's you. :lmao:

Deal!

I haven't been this psyched about a new release from an artist like this in years.

And it looks and sounds magnificent.

The King has come such a long way from the heart surgery and back problems and is possibly more loved, respected (even a Grammy nomination) and popular than ever.

Not buying this for a second. Clearly, this is meant to divert our attention from the moshers, where Pete will almost certainly be found. :ohyes:

My moshing days ended in college when I got pummeled at a Fishbone show in New York.

I promise you, I watched the King from the back section safely!

This show was on Thanksgiving Eve in 2015 (if I recall the year) and it was something.

Will you be partaking in this album?

I will. And don't think the Groucho glasses will fool me - I'll find you in that mosh pit! :ohyes:

Well? Anybody get this and watch? I started the Philly show last night and made it to Melissa before I had to go to bed.

Awesome. Just f'ing awesome to see and hear. I like the backup singer, Livia Zita, which I believe is King's wife. She adds the harmony's that add depth to the vocals so that they sound double-tracked in some instances, making it sound like the original recordings did.

This delivered the goods as I expected.

Sounds and looks magnificent and they spent some money on it.

It's selling very well and man, it is truly fantastic to hear Abigail all the way through.

I was at the Philly show, so I'm in there somewhere!

All hail the King.

I watched the second show filmed at the Graspop festival. It's just as good as the Philly show. Seriously, watching King do the Abigail album all the way through gave me chills. That album is a scary classic. It should've been a movie.
