Hello fellow DiamondBangers! The Hellenic Coven is finally back from the dead.
For over a year the Hellenic Coven had postponed its services through the fan club and the website since i had to serve the Hellenic army.
We want to apologize to all the fan club's members for receiving no word from the Coven through this year but we will try to make up by sending you
something very special. Until the end of the June you will receive something from us to your home address.

Thanks for your patience.

HAIL KING!

European KING DIAMOND tour -August 13th, "2004"

European tour has been postponed!!


The ONLY reason for postponement of the Euro-Tour, is that my immigration/ naturalization process with the US-government is taking longer than expected, and this procedure prevents me from leaving the country. I already missed the first test, and had to reschedule it, due to being on tour last November. This rescheduled test has still not taken place, and If I for some reason miss it, I will have to start the whole procedure all over again.
The reason for this taking so long, is probably because of all the extra precautions and checks the US-government has to take in these times of TERRORISM.
So.... in order to not waste any time, songwriting for the next King- album will start in a couple of weeks, and if everything goes without any problems, we might have the music recorded right before X-mas. Vocals would then be put down in January, and then who knows what ???? Mix the album??? Tour ??? Where ??? That I can't see in my crystal ball. BUT, one thing is for sure, a European tour should happen next year.
Until then, I hope the fans will enjoy the double LIVE-album.

By the way, my health is excellent !!!!!!!!!

King
