Metal Anarchy

A new documentary focusing on King Diamond is currently in the works. The Frederik Brun Madsen-directed film is based on a screenplay from Peter Engel and it will be produced by UpNorth Film AS by Christian Aune Falch, Torstein Parelius, and Sondre Johansen in co-production with Wingman Media.

Diamond told Metal Injection the following:

“There’s a King Diamond movie that has been filmed over the last three years. It’s been fully supported by the Danish National Film Institute. They’re trying to do it full on with going to the film festivals and all this stuff.

It’s a full-blown movie, and it’s not your average standard [documentary]. It’s more, because they have gone all the way back. They found the old bandmembers from [my first heavy rock band] BRAINSTORM from 1976. ’78, BLACK ROSE [King’s second band] members, and up to 1980, BLACK ROSE. They found old BLACK ROSE playing live from a little — what was it? A mini mall somewhere outside of Copenhagen from, it must’ve been early ’78 or something like that, where one of the first times I sang live ever. It didn’t sound bad. It was weird. But we played ‘Space Truckin’ without even a keyboard.

I’ll tell you what [the film] is. It’s pretty much a story about a kid from Denmark with very big dreams who had practically no chance of having that come true, but somehow it really did. This film crew, the way they go about researching things is unbelievable.”
