Holy crap, King Diamond is back! King Diamond will hit the road across North America for the first time since 2019 this October through December for the Saint Lucifer’s Hospital 1920 tour. King Diamond will be joined by black metal artist Myrkur for backing vocals and organ throughout the tour, while all shows will be opened by Overkill and Night Demon (unless otherwise noted). Tickets are available here.
“This is Saint Lucifer’s Hospital, enter if you dare! We have been busy putting this ever-growing horror story together, and it’s still growing,” said King Diamond of the tour. “I know the end of it, but how we will get there will be a long trip. There are so many characters, and so many unexpected things along this journey. It’s a crazy family on another timeline in 1920, where I experienced some hard times, and they have to come to our time to steal from us to survive. This is the most elaborate thing we have ever done, that goes for the stage production as well.
“There will be additional backing vocals by Myrkur and she’ll be playing organ for songs that need it. There will be some horrific surprises taking place on stage, but we are not to be held responsible since we are on a whole different timeline in 1920. It was back at the time when medicine was going through a dark period with lots of testing on human beings in order to progress medicine. This is Saint Lucifer’s Hospital, also known as The Institute, enter if you dare!”
