King Diamond does not need any introduction. The dane with the voice started out in formidable Mercyful Fate back in the 80´s and continued under his own moniker after MF went on hiatus in the 90´s and his back catalogue is propped with genuine marvelous heavy metal.
"Dreams of Horror" is the first album to be released after the King recovered from serious illness a couple of years ago and this best-of compilations is just what you need to get you King Diamond fix on. If you are a proud member of the club that have everything the King have released you don´t need this 23 song compilation containing material from both the Metal Blade and Roadrunner releases.
If you´re not a completeist then "Dreams of Horror" is a nice addition to your record collection if you need some cred among your heavy metal friends.
All the songs compiled for this collection is all well known material and because it´s the King you´ll know it´s all good. The King knows no other way.
All we can do now is hope that there´s is some new material in line for a new King Diamond release somewhere in the horizon.
