KING DIAMOND: Live Album To Surface Next Year

KING DIAMOND recorded several shows during their recent U.S. tour and are currently in Sweden at guitarist Andy LaRocque's studio (Los Angered) outside Gothenburg listening to the tracks and deciding what to use towards a possible live CD. "[The recordings] sound great and a live album should be finished next year," drummer Matt Thompson said in a recent online posting. "We will tour Europe in 2004 if all goes as planned."

KING DIAMOND's latest CD, "The Puppet Master", was released in late October through Metal Blade Records.
