The songs on the "Evil / Curse Of The Pharaohs" picture disc were re-recorded for the Guitar Hero: Metallica game back in August 2008. Only "Evil" was used in the game. Mercyful Fate was almost re-united with 4/5 of the classic line-up: with King Diamond, Hank Shermann, Michael Denner, Timi Hansen and on the drums, Bjarne T. Holm.

Matt Thompson completes drum tracks for new AGHORA album .
Matt Thompson has finished laying down the drum tracks for the as-yet-untitled third album from the Florida progressive metal act AGHORA. The sessions were held at Texas Indian Trails Studio with engineer and co-owner Alex Gerst. Guitarist/mainman Santiago Dobles states, "It was a great experience with zero obstacles. Studio facility is great and Alex is a drummer himself, so he really understands the approach that is involved in the AGHORA stuff."
Santiago continues, "Matt is amazing! He is very smooth, yet razor-accurate with a lot of balls! It's good to have the metal muscle power yet the fusion open air and breath of a Vinnie Colaiuta, Jack DeJohnette and Billy Cobham. Matt has 100% free control and is laying it down solid! He flows very smoothly with a lot of power and balls."
AGHORA's new album will contain 10 songs of "full-on serious intensity," according to Dobles.
The band's recording lineup is as follows:
Alan Goldstein (bass)
Diana Serra (vocals)
Matt Thompson (drums)
Santiago Dobles (guitar)
AGHORA's second album, "Formless" was produced in part by Neil Kernon (QUEENSRŸCHE, NEVERMORE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEICIDE).
The band's self-titled first album (2000) was recorded in 1999 with the help of Sean Malone and Sean Reinert, both current members of CYNIC.
Thanks to Marc Fischer for the great pictures from the 1988-11-11 King Diamond show in Phildelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. 35 Black & white photos added to the King Diamond tour list.
