Metal Blade Records to Reissue King Diamond's 'Abigail' and 'Fatal Portrait'

On April 24th, King Diamond will reissue new CD and LP versions of the classic albums Abigail and Fatal Portrait via Metal Blade Records!

The vinyl editions feature spined sleeves with an insert and download card; the CDs contain a mini-LP CD-insert with a small fold-out poster.

"These are not remasters. These are the albums as they were originally done in the old days from the original production masters," says King Diamond. "They retain all the original dynamics that were captured at the time. It’s very exciting to present these to fans as they were originally released."
