King Diamond

Because Christmas music needs more four-letter words.

The '80s one-hit wonder gets a metal makeover.

Here's the full lineup.

See the drummer's heartfelt note.

On Oct. 28, Hellyeah fans were given the surprise of drummer Vinnie Paul dressed as the iconic King Diamond live in concert.

The longtime bassist has parted ways with King Diamond's band, but why is Patino gone? That depends on who you believe.

It's actually happening! Heavy metal icon King Diamond has officially announced a batch of North American tour dates for 2014.

This year's Fun Fun Fun Fest has just been announced to take place Nov.7-9 at Auditorium Shores and Butler Park, and Judas Priest have been announced as festival headliners while the almighty King Diamond will also play a rare live show.

Metal may not get the wealth of recognition that other genres receive, but the big category that every metalhead music fan should be paying attention to is the Best Metal Performance category. The nominees for the 2014 Grammy Awards were just announced and there's a diverse group of acts populating the category.

Volbeat's 'Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies' album arrives next week, but the band has an early treat for their fans. They've made 'Room 24,' their collaboration with famous Mercyful Fate leader King Diamond, available to their fans as a free download.
