  • King Diamond Abigail Concert NYC 2015

    METALMANking

    This show was amazing.  The production and sound really came well together. There were parents with their kids on their shoulders and girls crowd surfing. Really sets the mood. King Diamond said something like, “Want to listen to some Merciful Fate? We’re playing this because I say so!”. Oh man, the crowd went nuts.

    It was a pity to see soon after this show he got Laryngitis and had to stop the tour for a couple of shows. Hopefully he’s back to his ol’ screetchy evil self again!

  • Metal Man’s Misconception

    metalmanMisconception

    This was the last band I discovered while I was attending Bryant HS, 13 years ago. I think. I was searching for Viking Metal and Waitain came up. I thought they were bad ass but never got around to it. Kinda what happened with Gamma Ray (man that’s gonna have to be a whole other comic). Anyway many years go by and like a year ago they were on TMZ, showering people with blood. I see upside down crosses, candles, goats and bones. A change of faith? Then it hit me, I am an idiot. When the Christians were spreading the faith to the Pagans north of European tribes,  the deities themselves were demonized by the Christians (maybe Catholics? What do I know). So these tribes used to dress up like demons, make sacrifices , cover themselves in blood; just to scare the Christians away from Crom.

    This is all speculation, obviously I am not a bad ass archaeologist.
