Looks like Guitar Hero is about to get a little Evil, that is King Diamond’s “Evil” of 1983. The song is one of the Mercyful Fate songs that comprise Metallica’s “Mercyful Fate” medley, which was re-recorded by four of the five original band members for Gutar Hero Metallica. The recording session was overseen by guitarist Hank Shermann in the bands native Denmark while the vocals were laid down by King Diamond in Dallas, Texas, and mixed by J.T. Longoria.
“It’s been absolutely amazing to be a part of this Guitar Hero experience. It was quite a trip to re-record the song ‘Evil’ almost 25 years after the original recording took place. The end result with four out of the five original musicians turned out so much better than I would ever have hoped for,” said King Diamond. “Seeing my animated character take form was totally eerie in a very good way. It’s so strange to see yourself animated in such perfect detail – cross bone microphone, Eye necklace and all. This game looks and sounds metal all the way. Horns up!!!”
So Diamond fans, you’ll get your chance to thrash with this legend soon enough! I know we’re looking forward to it!
