King Diamond’s “Halloween”, the three-track LP picture disc originally released in 1986, will be re-released worldwide with new art by Mario Lopez on October 23rd, 2026, via Metal Blade Records, just in time for the season!
The “Halloween” title track comes off King Diamond’s debut album, “Fatal Portrait” (1986), as does “The Candle”, which served as the opening track on “Fatal Portrait”, and was part of the early storytelling approach that would become central to King Diamond’s future discography. “The Lake”, while recorded during the same general period as “Fatal Portrait” and associated with those sessions, wasn’t included in the original nine-track album.
“Halloween” was produced by King Diamond and Rune Höyer with production assistance by Michael Denner and engineered by Roberto Falcao.
Preorders for the LP are available here.
