KING DIAMOND To Start Work On New Album In Early 2016; ANDY LAROQUE Video Interview Available

Neil Turbin (Deathriders, ex-Anthrax) recently spoke with King Diamond’s Andy LaRocque for Canada’s The Metal Voice. Check out the interview below along with a few excerpts

On what it is like to be in the King Diamond band for so many years: “I have been in the band for about 30 years, it’s crazy, time just flies, it’s been awesome.”

On concerns about King Diamond’s Satanism when first joining the band: “I always was really into the theatrically stuff on stage, like Alice Cooper, KISS, Black Sabbath, stuff like that. I look at it in a different way I see it more as a theatrical rock horror show than a satanic thing.”

On when they will begin work on a new King Diamond album: “We are going to have a little break after this tour, and after that break we are going to start writing music for the next album. We have some riffs but I’m sure once we start getting into the process it’s going to be lots of brainstorming, somewhere around February 2016.”

The CD will be released as a double-Digi-CD featuring a bonus-CD that includes the rare and previously unreleased demos for the album. The LP comes as a double gatefold vinyl including all the bonus tracks as well.
