Here we have an original 1988 poster produced for two dates in Seattle and Portland by the legendary King Diamond. Getting his start in Copenhagen with his metal band "Mercyful Fate" in the early 80's King Diamond later formed his own band using his trademark powerful wide ranging voice. Also a talented instrumentalist and songwriter Diamond continued to write extremely dark lyrics for many years and included his distinctive shocking stage persona at all of his concerts. Metallica may never had come to be if it weren't for the early influences King Diamond gave to them and many other heavy metal bands.
