Хэви-метал команда King Diamond выпустила коллекцию лучших хитов под названием "Dreams Of Horror" 11 ноября 2014 года на лейбле Metal Blade Records. На двух дисках окажется в общей сложности 23 песни вокалиста Кинг Даймонда и гитариста Энди Ла Рока. Музыканты собственноручно переработали композиции, прежде отобранные из каталагов компаний Roadrunner и Metal Blade. В недавнем интервью для Full Metal Jackie Кинг Даймонд заявил: "Лейбл Metal Blade получил шанс приобрести часть лицензий от Roadrunner, которые находятся под крылом Warner. В итоге у них появилась возможность выпустить немного старого винила, а также сделать коллекцию. И это лучший материал King Diamond. В общем, на одном диске будет материал времен Roadrunner, а на другом времен Metal Blade, но все выйдет на лейбле Metal Blade.

Kim Bendix Petersen (born 14 June 1956, Copenhagen, Denmark),better known by his stage name King Diamond, is a Grammy Award nominated Danish heavy metal musician. As a vocalist, he is known for his extensive vocal range, in particular his usage of falsetto. He is the lead vocalist for both Mercyful Fate and the eponymous King Diamond.King Diamond's first heavy rock band was called Brainstorm (1974–76), with Jeanette Blum (Jean Blue) vocal and bass, Michael Frohn (Mike West) guitar and Jes Jacobsen (Jesse James) drums. King Diamond left Brainstorm and began singing with local Danish hard rock band Black Rose. It was during this time in Black Rose that King Diamond began experimenting with horror themed theatrics as well as shaping a malevolent quasi-Satanic stage persona. he left Black Rose and joined the punk-metal band Brats where he met Hank Shermann. Soon after, the two of them were asked to help Michael Denner (also formerly a member of Brats) with his own project Danger Zone. This band included Timi Hansen and the mentioned musicians would join with King Diamond in 1980 to become Mercyful Fate.Following Mercyful Fate's 1984 release of Don't Break the Oath and the subsequent tour (which saw them play in the U.S. for the first time), King Diamond split ways with Mercyful Fate. With him, he took two of his bandmates (Hansen and Denner) to pursue a solo career under his own name.Mercyful Fate reunited in 1992 (while King Diamond simultaneously continued his solo career) and recorded five more studio albums. In 2000, King decided to put Mercyful Fate on hold and continue on with his solo career. Though Mercyful Fate continues to remain dormant, the band is still under contract with Metal Blade Records. Also in 1999, King Diamond and Hank Shermann performed the song Evil with Metallica live. This performance also has King Diamond without his famous makeup. In recent interviews, King Diamond has stated that Mercyful Fate will record and tour again when the timing is right, saying "It's definitely not finished.In 2001, King Diamond worked out a deal with the band Usurper to sing backup vocals on the song "Necronemesis" in exchange for them shifting their recording schedule around to accommodate the recording of Abigail II: The Revenge. In 2004, King Diamond contributed vocals to "Sweet Dreams", which was the final track on the album of Dave Grohl's heavy metal side project Probot. In late 2005, King Diamond appeared on the Roadrunner United - The All-Star Sessions album, contributing vocals for his song "In the Fire", which featured multiple Roadrunner Records musicians (past and present) working together to create individual songs. King Diamond also guested on the Cradle of Filth song "Devil Woman" in late 2005.

Album:

"Even after 30 years in the music industry, many trends, Ups and Downs, King Diamond is still one of the most productive and important personalities in the metal.So let's raise a glass and toast to one of the greatest careers in the metal. Since there is the tape were published 12 studio albums, mostly concept albums. Two of the main metal label had the honor to publish these plates: Roadrunner and Metal Blade Records.The compilation of the songs on this double CD, selected by King himself, is divided into CD 1: The Roadrunner years, CD. 2: The Metal Blade Years "
