King Diamond News

Danish metal dude and makeup enthusiast King Diamond went to Budapest and found himself inspired to make "The Puppet Master," a concept album built around the central conceit of a sinister puppeteer who turns actual people into his marionettes.

Look, we could waste lifetimes pedantically trying to fence in "metal" in all its constantly shifting forms and definitions - and it would be a waste , I promise - but as a dude who thinks about this shit a lot, I gotta say this, just this once: The music currently being made by Ghost B.C. is not metal.

Volbeat is giving you the chance to check out "Room 24," a new cut from their upcoming album, Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies .

The album, titled "Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies", is set to be released next week in North America via Universal Music.

Niacin is back with its first new album in eight years and fans can get a full taste of the trio's new record exclusively here on The Examiner.
