@@richboutin4044 Fatal Portrait is a good first effort by solo KD but many would say inferior to the prior MF releases at the time. Andy LaRoque does play on this album but he was brought in late and only for studio recordings. He has no writing credit on the album. You can hear the technical brilliance he brings to Abigail via songwriting and superb guitar play. Combine that with King's unified story concept for Abigail and there really is no comparison to Fatal Portrait.

It's still truly packs a punch all these years later. This was my second King Diamond discovery, and I was fortunate enough to see him on this tour. Hugely hugely influential to me from a musical standpoint, it's Fearless nature really set the stage for the Kings future endeavors. Production wise this album still holds up, although perhaps a bit Reverb heavy but that was the eighties so groundbreaking and it's delivery with the truly badass Collective of musicians. I can wax nostalgic forever about this particular record and I think you've done an absolutely wonderful job here with this visual presentation. Cheers.

This was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! Got hooked on King Diamond by my best friend my senior year in high school. I don't know how he found King; but this changed my life forever. 1989 to 1990 was a great school year for finding new music (metal) and expanding my mind. He introduced me to King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Slayer, Danzig, Motorhead, Iron Maiden. Needless to say I was changing inside to become the man I am today and all these tunes help shape me. Thank you making this video Sir. Stay Heavy 😈🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😈

RUTHLESS METAL!!!! Infernal Hails from Santa Clarita, CA. My street name is SLAYER, I am a longtime Fan of your work and this is my First Time commenting on one of your videos/ reaching out to you! Long ago you mentioned the Extreme Metal band that I am a part of in, one of your Videos. A huge Honor! Never would I have thought to be experiencing that. You mentioned us at the end of the video under Honorable Mentions. Thank you so much!!! So, I do not know what this Abigail Animated Video is. I’ve just heard of it through your Channel and though I clicked on it- I was expecting to be let down. Instead, I was HOOKED!! I FUCKING LOVE THIS!! Who is responsible for its creation? Is this you who put this together?? If so, dude, you NAILED IT!! (No pun intended!) THE VISUALS ARE SUPERB AND AT TIMES- MOST IMPRESSIVE!! I cannot help but say (in a good way) that it’s style of visual representation is akin to the Cut Scenes in the Video Game SPLATTERHOUSE 3 on SEGA Genesis from the 90s. FUCKING BADASS!!! You have outdone yourself with this Video Post!!! Thank you so much!!! If not done by you, please point me to whom I should be Thanking! For example: King Diamond, or SATAN!!! Thank you for your time, Ruthless Metal!!! INTO GLORY RIDE!!!!!!

Thank you for the comment. I did all the animations myself in wondershare filmora, it took forever but I think it turned out cool even if I could perhaps have worked on some smaller details. What band are you in btw? I haven't played Splatterhouse though even if I had a Sega there for a while. :D Cheers!

This just popped up in my feed and I must say that this pleases me to no end that someone made this album into a animated video. I know I always thought it would make a excellent horror movie as well. I've been a huge fan of King Diamond and Mercyful Fate since I was a teenager and now come November 4th in Cincinnati, I will get to finally see Mercyful Fate perform live for the first time since the mid to late 90's. It makes me through the moon because this will also mark my very first time ever seeing King Diamond or Mercyful Fate play live!! Mercyful Fate as a band and King Diamond with his singing has been a inspiration to me and a outlet that has got me through some rough patches in my lifetime. Sorry for rambling a bit there and again thank you for the excellent work!!

This album is a killer classic, absolutely perfect in every way. I've been a Mercyful Fate and King Diamond fanatic since around the time of the "Fatal Portrait" album. I've seen every tour since. I was just at the Gary IN Mercyful Fate show this last October 2022 as well. Totally awesome.

@@RuthlessMetalYT So even better than the miles of Swedish death/doom metal…. Crashdïet are fine if one wants a decent modern era Swedish metal band formed in Y2K Swedish metal band - Therion is also pretty awesome, and if memory serves me right… Bror Marcolin was involved with them after leaving Candlemass for a second time… When did Candlemass pick up Mats Levèn exactly? Before or after 97, when Yngwie employed him?

King is a cool cat! Met him with Mercyful Fate passing thru Nashville @ a Sammy Hagar concert of all places. Ran into him in L.A @ Mates Rehearsal Studio 3 years later and he remembered me. Abigail is the point of entry of my arrival in L.A 1987. Everyday was a Saturday!
