KING DIAMOND Talks About OZZFEST Appearance With METALLICA; Audio Available - Nov. 20, 2008

TheRightToRock.com has issued its latest podcast (episode #66), featuring legendary Danish metal singer King Diamond (MERCYFUL FATE, KING DIAMOND). King discusses his appearance at this year's Ozzfest with METALLICA as well as his spookiest encounters from beyond.

The interview lasts approximately 50 minutes and can be heard at this location.

A soundboard-quality audio/video version of METALLICA's performance with King Diamond at the one-day Ozzfest on August 9, 2008 at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas can be found below.

MERCYFUL FATE will be remembered for its unquestionable mark on the history of metal with its innovative sound, complex arrangements, memorable melody, and its influence on bands that later took the genre to new heights.

In 1998, METALLICA paid tribute to MERCYFUL FATE by recording a medley of classic MERCYFUL FATE songs on the album "Garage Inc." Entitled "Mercyful Fate", the medley included parts from "Satan's Fall", "Curse of the Pharaohs", "A Corpse Without Soul", "Into the Coven" and "Evil".

Lars Ulrich of METALLICA (a fellow Dane) played drums on a new version of MERCYFUL FATE's "Return of the Vampire" on the "In the Shadows" album, which came out in 1993.

	re: fugazi2112 comment. absolutely. at a MF show at the birch hill in NJ...a cramped little venue full of sweaty nastiness after waiting until about 12:30-1am for them to come on. the atmosphere, the intro, and the opening falsetto as his projected crosses inverted and turned red... fantastic show. they had also opened the neighboring nightclub to allow air flow and bathroom access... so some meathead club guys snuck in and really looked like they were going to shit their pants when MF started.

	Saw Mercyful Fate in Detroit in the early 80's, when Don't break The Oath came out. They were supported by Exciter, Necros and Seduce. It was amazing. We got to meet the King outside the show before the gig. I will never forget it.....Long Live The King
