January 25th has been chosen as the official release date for King Diamond‘s new live Blu-ray/DVD release, “Songs For The Dead Live“. The set will be out on Metal Blade Records and captures two live performances: June 17th, 2016 at the ‘Graspop Metal Meeting‘ festival in Dessel, Belgium and November 25th, 2015 at The Fillmore in Philadelphia, PA—both of which contained performances of Diamond‘s 1987 sophomore album “Abigail” and various fan favorites.
Various colored vinyl pressings of the album are planned, as is a 2-DVD/CD digipak and a 2-DVD/2-CD/1 Blu-ray special edition box set. The latter will also feature a poster, flyer, laminate, setlist, ticket, sticker and guitar pick. That set will be limited to 3,000 copies. Denise Korycki directed the shoots, which run as follows:
