* ActingForTwo: King handles all the vocals and spoken parts.
** There are some exceptions though. Both ''"Them"'' and ''Voodoo'' have a brief spoken part by an actual woman in their introduction tracks ("Out from the Asylum" and "Louisiana Darkness" respectively), Alyssa Biesenberger provided the voice of The Little One (spirit of original Abigail) on ''Abigail II: The Revenge'' and King's wife Livia Zita provided some additional vocals on the latest two albums (''The Puppet Master'' and ''Give Me Your Soul... Please'').

Author Existence Failure (now renamed to Died During Production) is a trope for dying before finishing a work, not anytime a creator died.

Jossed is a YMMV Definition Only Page now. Deleting examples, fan theories that are in objective pages - they need to go on YMMV pages - and moving these about a specific fan work to Outdated By Canon

* TheDanza: Protagonist of ''"Them"'' and ''Conspiracy'' is named King Diamond. (Probably. He is only called by first name in songs, but a letter in ''Them'' booklet is signed "K.D.", and protagonist totally looks like King himself in ''Conspiracy'' comic). Also the case on ''The Puppet Master'' though it's not related to preceding.

This can also apply to Protagonist in ''Give Me Your Soul...Please'' since it references King's own house and even features his pet cat as a character.

* CreativeDifferences: The main reason Mercyful Fate split-up in 1985. While King Diamond wanted to continue in a similar style the band was playing, guitarist Hank Shermann (who at that time composed vast majority of the band's material) wanted to go into more AOR / PopMetal territory. He then found the band Fate, though he left after two albums and returned back to classic heavy metal with Zoser Mez (which eventually also led to [[PuttingTheBandBackTogether Mercyful Fate's reunion]]).
