King Diamond Band
King’s first heavy rock band was called Brainstorm from 1974 to 1976, with Jeanette Blum (Jean Blue) on vocals and bass, Michael Frohn (Mike West) on guitar as well as Jes Jacobsen (Jesse James) on drums.
King left Brainstorm and began singing with local Danish hard rock band Black Rose. King began experimenting with horror-themed theatrics and shaping a malevolent quasi-Satanic stage persona. King left Black Rose and joined the punk-metal band Brats, where he met Hank Shermann.
The 2 were soon asked to help Michael Denner (also formerly a member of Brats) with his own project, Danger Zone, this band included Timi Hansen, as well as the musicians, who would join Diamond in the year 1980 to become Mercyful Fate.
