| | King Diamond House Of God CD King Diamond Discography of CDs
This pretentious, epic, almost sappy concept record follows lyrical suit with King Diamond's previous offerings, however, House of God lacks the musical commitment of the artist's best recordings, Them and Abigal. Rare in his ability to manage a successful solo career with a long-time band partnership, King Diamond was very busy releasing numerous albums, both on his own and with Mercyful Fate in the '90s. Quantity might have taken precedence of quality as the prolific vocalist and songwriter ended up offering several sub par discs during this period. Long time guitarist and co-songwriter Andy La Rocque joins Diamond, drummer John Herbert, guitarist Glen Drover, and bassist Dave Harbour on House of God. Each member delivers fine performances, but the opportunities to stretch out are rare as Diamond pastes his obtuse prose (more like an album-length short story than poetry or song lyrics) all over mediocre riffs and flat arrangements. Creative ambition and a dark quirkiness are decidedly core elements to Diamond's appeal, but these qualities often require catalysts to be transforming. A certain amount of intellect and humor are needed to support what can be otherwise bland music. Sadly, there is little in the way of interesting writing or fiery musical performances to enhance House of God, a lesser King Diamond release. ~ Vincent Jeffries

PunkStarKindergarten Punk. The perfect gift from all the “bad uncles” in the world who want to unleash the “moshpit monster” inside every child.Imagine Green Day, The Ramones and The Clash in the same kindergarten class. Having a collective temper tantrum. These songs reflect the real interests and fears of the kindergarten set. A world full of animals, ghosts, getting your own way and dishing out the spanks.Let’s be honest, you don’t get the blues without a long history of repression and you don’t get punk, without getting your butt paddled. No justice. No peace.PunkStar embraces the short attention span of the kindergarten set with the golden rule: “no song over two minutes. The sound is gritty and raw. The only bubblegum you’ll find here is stuck under the desk. These songs won’t teach your kids to share their toys or to wait patiently in line. They drive them off their seats and get them bouncing off the walls. We highly recommend that you don’t try using this as “bedtime” music.Warning: If you care about understanding the lyrics, you’re too old to listen.Cole BergersenSinger/SongwriterCole Bergersen is the six-year-old creative force behind PunkStar. A new voice for Generation K. Writing most of the songs at the kitchen table. Vocalizing his air guitar riffs, as he sings the words. Other songs, he writes at the mic. Embracing the moment and just letting the music flow.This CD was originally recorded as a going-away present to Cole’s classmates on the last day of kindergarten. Minus the controversial “Kick My Brother (in the nuts)” which his mother forbade him from ever recording.Cole is hardly a perfectionist. Creative inspiration does not include coloring within the lines. In fact, re-recording vocals is like pulling teeth for Cole. You better get it right the first time or know how to edit in Garageband.At one dark period in his young life, Cole would only scat. Almost bringing an end to the band. But after a “creative nap,” Cole re-embraced the English language and began writing songs again.Cole likes playing the harmonica, feeding live crickets to his lizards and playing goalie for his PeeWee ice hockey team (not your typical SoCal activity).Cole’s also the baby of the family. He may be six but really wants to be four. Constantly, demanding your attention (good or bad). Cole likes listening to Green Day’s American Idiot (but insists we call them Red Day), The Stray Cats Greatest Hits and The Jonas Bros (but, honestly, he’s more intrigued by their bodyguard, Big Rob). The SongsKomodo Dragon. This is our hit single in the making. The opening riff grabs you by the throat and won’t let go until it chews all its poisonous saliva into your nervous system. Kids have a visceral response to this song. They hafta get up and move. Dad’s guitar solo captures ...
