- Awesome Music: A lot of it. To name just a few — "The Candle", "The Family Ghost", "Welcome Home", "The Portrait", "The Invisible Guests", "No Presents for Christmas", "Eye of the Witch", " "Give Me Your Soul", "Never Ending Hill", "Voodoo", "A Secret"...
- Also many songs by Mercyful Fate too. For example entire albums Melissa and Don't Break the Oath.
- Friendly Fandoms: Mercyful Fate fans love King Diamond Fans.
- Memetic Mutation: King Diamond's expressions (especially the Large Ham ones) are arguably meme fuel.
- All together now: "GRANDMA WHAT WAS IT LIKE?! TO BE ON THE HOLIDAY SIIIIIIIIIITE!?!".
- Narm:
- King's falsetto vocals may be either this, or Narm Charm depending on whether you're a fan or not.
- That said, some of his lyrics on the first few Mercyful Fate albums come across as more goofy/silly than evil, particularly with the over the top way King Diamond sings them.
- The album Conspiracy ends with the words "Whenever the dark is near, I will return from the grave to haunt you" which is an effective threat, that is unfortunately followed by "godforsaken whore!"
- The tribal drums at the start of "Voodoo" sound like they were done with a Casio keyboard.
- Narm Charm: King Diamond's entire musical career has essentially being a very silly, but still genuinely bad-ass musical B-movie.
- Signature Song:
- For his solo material, "Welcome Home", especially due to its inclusion in Clerks II.
- For Mercyful Fate, it is a tie between "Evil" and "A Dangerous Meeting".
