Livia Zita is an official member of the group, why isn't she listed?? - Akane Kiryu —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.183.8.141 (talk) 05:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if anyone can explain the symbol in the King Diamond logo, it looks like a patriarchal cross set atop the infinity symbol. does it have any special meaning?

I'm only 9 years late, but it's a medieval alchemical symbol for sulfur. A lot of Satanists/Luciferians use it in the modern day for symbolic reasons. JanderVK (talk) 05:15, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:KD logo.jpg[edit]

Image:KD logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Genre[edit]

Should we list black metal under the genre tags? Wikipedia has all the albums listed as black metal, even under the list of Black Metal bands you'll find this band. Or are we going to need some sources? Mogthetormentor (talk) 05:36, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, we need reliable sources for this. Canniba loki 06:12, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Livia Zita[edit]

Since Livia Zita, King Diamond's wife, is part of his band as a singer, can King Diamond (the band) be considered a musical sextet? Mr. Brain (talk) 03:41, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No Presents for Christmas[edit]

Please correct me if I'm wrong here. The first music released by King Diamond (pre-dating Fatal Portrait) was the EP No Presents for Christmas. I don't see this mentioned in the article. The song "No Presents for Christmas" appears as a bonus track on reissues of Fatal Portrait, but it was released as part of an EP (or even possibly an SP) prior to the initial release of Fatal Portrait.Mk5384 (talk) 23:16, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have corrected the article. No Presents for Christmas was released in 1985. Fatal Portrait was released in 1986.Mk5384 (talk) 23:28, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
