Ubuntwana nobusha beKing Diamond
UKim wazalwa ngoJuni 14, 1956 eCopenhagen. I-King Diamond igama elingelona iqiniso leciko. Igama lakhe langempela nguKim Bendix Petersen.
Inkanyezi yesikhathi esizayo yachitha ubuntwana nobusha bayo edolobheni laseHvidovre. Osemusha wayevame ukweqa esikoleni, kodwa naphezu kwalokhu, wayejabulisa abazali bakhe ngamamaki amahle. UKim wayenenkumbulo enhle kakhulu yezithombe, eyamsiza ukuba akhumbule ngisho nezinto ezinzima kakhulu ngemva kokufunda.
Wajwayelana nomculo onesigqi ebusheni bakhe. Wathola injabulo yangempela emsebenzini wamaqembu enganekwane i-Deep Purple kanye Led Zeppelin.
Ngokushesha uKim wafuna ukufunda ukudlala isiginci. Wayenomunye umsebenzi wokuzilibazisa. Udlale ibhola. Uthando lwezemidlalo lwalukhulu kangangokuthi uPetersen waze wacabanga ngomsebenzi wokuba ngumdlali webhola. Ubeyilungu leqembu lebhola lendawo futhi waqanjwa ngokuthi “Umdlali Wonyaka”. Kodwa sesifikile isikhathi lapho umculo usaphusha uthando lwebhola emuva.
I-Group King Diamond: ukuqala komsebenzi wokudala
Umdwebi waqoqa iqembu lakhe lokuqala esemncane. Khona-ke cishe yonke intsha eyayijwayelene nomculo waseBrithani ngokungaqondile yayiphupha iqembu layo.
Waqoqa iqembu lokuqala ngesikhathi esengumfundi wasesikoleni esiphakeme. Ngeshwa, umculi wayengenakho ukuqoshwa kokuqala, njengoba bekusezingeni eliphansi. Ngo-1973 wathola iziqu e-Stockholm Conservatory lapho afundela khona i-violin.
1973 kwaphawulwa hhayi kuphela ngokuthola idiploma. Iqiniso wukuthi uKim ujoyine iqembu elithi Brainstorm. Abaculi bafake izingoma ezingapheli ze-Black Sabbath ne-Kiss.
Ngezizathu ezingaqondakali, leli qembu alizange likhulule okwalo. Ngokushesha abaculi baphelelwa isithakazelo eqenjini futhi bahlakaza uhlu. UKim wabe esezama isandla sakhe njengomdlali wesigingci sikaBlack Rose.
Amarokhethi eqembu azame ukulingisa isitayela sika-Alice Cooper kukho konke. Abafana badale izinguqulo zekhava zamathrekhi adumile aseBrithani, ngaphezu kwalokho, babehlanganyela ekudaleni izingoma zabo. Kuleli qembu, uKim wazama hhayi nje kuphela njengesigingci, kodwa futhi njengomculi.
Ngendlela, njengelungu leqembu le-Black Rose, umculi wayenombono wokuhlola ingxenye ehleliwe yemidlalo. Kusukela manje, amakhonsathi aleli qembu abegqamile futhi angeke alibaleke. UKim wayevame ukubonakala esiteji ngesihlalo esinamasondo enziwe ukwakheka kwasekuqaleni, okwabangela imizwa exubile phakathi kwezilaleli.
Ukuhlukana kweKing Diamond
Impumelelo yeqembu ibisobala. Kodwa nokuhlonishwa nothando lwabalandeli akukwazanga ukuhlenga iqembu ekuhlukaneni. Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, abahlanganyeli bephrojekthi bamemezela ukuqedwa kokwakheka.
U-Black Rose ugcine idemo eyodwa kuphela erekhodiwe ngesikhathi sokuzilolonga. Ngendlela, eminyakeni engu-20 kamuva, uKim wakhipha irekhodi.
UKim Petersen ubengeke ashiye esiteji. Waqhubeka nomsebenzi wakhe njengelungu leqembu le-punk Brats. Ngesikhathi sokufika kwelungu elisha, ithimba lakwazi ukusayina inkontileka ezuzisayo, kanye nokushicilela i-albhamu yokuqala.
Ngokushesha, abamele ilebula banqamula inkontileka neqembu le-Brats, becabangela abafana abangathembisi. Ngakho, iqembu lahlukana, kodwa iqembu nabanye ozakwabo wadala iphrojekthi entsha. Sikhuluma ngeqembu elithi Mercyful Fate. Ngemva kokudlala kokuqala, izethameli zakwazisa okuqukethwe kobuciko bokuqala kwamathrekhi eqembu, ahlotshaniswa nokulumba.
Ukubamba iqhaza kuphrojekthi ye-Mercyful Fate
Kusukela kulesi sikhathi, ozakwabo kanye nomphakathi bazi uKim ngaphansi kwegama lokuqamba elithi King Diamond. Lo mculi wathi wayeyithanda imisebenzi ka-Anton LaVey, ikakhulukazi incwadi ethi The Satanic Bible. Cishe kuyo yonke inhlolokhono, ukhulume ngothando lwakhe ngezincwadi ezinjalo.
UKim wazizwa esondelene nesikhalo sombhali. U-Anton LaVey unxuse abafundi ukuthi balandele imizwa yomuntu. Umbhali wathi akufanele wenqabe ukubiza okubi, ngoba bona, kanye nabahle, bahlala kuwo wonke umuntu.
Umculi wazama ukuveza imibono ka-Anton mayelana nemimoya emisebenzini yakhe. Kodwa noma kunjalo, uKim wayengenalo ulwazi olwanele lobunkondlo ayenalo. Abagxeki bomculo ngokuvamile babheka umsebenzi wokuqala womculi "njengobuwula". Babiza izingoma zikaKim ngokweqiniso. Kodwa umculi akakwazanga ukukususa kwakuwukubukeka okuthakazelisayo esiteji.
Njengemisebenzi yangaphambili, isithombe sesiteji sasilula kakhulu. UKim wangena esiteji e-makeup. Umculi ngokwakhe wapenda isiphambano sikaSathane esihlanekezelwe ebusweni bakhe. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, isithombe somculi sishintshile. Ubonakale esiteji efake izimonyo eziyinkimbinkimbi, ingubo emnyama, kanye nombhobho okhethekile owenziwe ngamathambo omuntu awela.
Isethulo se-albhamu yokuqala
Ngo-1982, i-discography yeqembu elisha lagcwaliswa nge-albhamu yokuqala ethi Melissa. Ngemuva kokukhishwa kweqoqo, uKim uvele esiteji "nogebhezi lukaMelissa". Ngokusho kwalo mculi, ezandleni zakhe kwakukhona ugebhezi lomthakathi, anikele kuye isihloko se-albhamu yakhe yokuqala. Kamuva ezingxoxweni zakhe, uKim wakhuluma ngokuthi uthole kanjani okungajwayelekile.
Lo mculi wathola ukuthi uprofesa osekhulile wayefundisa e-Medical University of Copenhagen. Ngenxa yobudala bakhe, wayevame ukushiya izinsalela zohlaka lomuntu ezilalelini. Izindaba ezinjalo zavumela uKim ukuba azicebise ngogebhezi futhi "anamathisele" ekutholeni indaba okuthiwa ingeyentombazane okuthiwa uMelissa.
Ukudalwa kwephrojekthi ye-King Diamond
Maphakathi nawo-1980, umehluko wokudala waqala ukuvela phakathi kwamalungu eqembu. Ngenxa yezingxabano eziqhubekayo, iqembu layeka ukuba khona. Ngo-1985, uKim wadala iphrojekthi yakhe ethi King Diamond. Ngokufika kwaleli qembu esiteji, umculo odlalwa uKim uthole umsindo ohluke ngokuphelele. Waba lukhuni, waba namandla futhi waba nenjongo.
Kusukela manje kuqhubeke, esikhundleni sezindaba ezilula "ezisabisayo", amathrekhi abonise ukulandisa okujabulisayo. Emarekhodini ethi Fatal Portrait, Abigail, House of God, Uzungu, izingoma zahlanganiswa zaba uchungechunge lwendaba. Abathandi bomculo abalalele izingoma zokuqala abakwazanga ukuyeka ukulalela irekhodi kuze kube sekupheleni. Petersen wenza izingxenye zamaqhawe amaningana ngesikhathi esisodwa. Konke lokhu kwakusikhumbuza uhlobo lwe-metal opera.
Imidlalo yasesiteji nayo ibe nezinguquko ezithile. Ukwethusa izethameli, umculi ophambili weqembu usebenzise amaqhinga ahlukahlukene. Ngendlela, omunye wabo wacishe waphela enhlekeleleni. UKim wayethanda ukungena esiteji ngebhokisi, elalivalwa lishiswe. Ngesikhathi sokushiswa, umdwebi kwakudingeka aphume ngephaseji elikhethekile, futhi endaweni yakhe kwafakwa uhlaka lwamathambo olulungiselelwe ngokukhethekile.
Ngobunye ubusuku “obuhle” uKim wanquma ukusebenzisa leli qhinga ekhonsathini. Wacambalala ebhokisini, kodwa vele ngesikhathi esha wazizwa engaphilile. Lo mculi ubezabalaza ukukhombisa ukuthi uphatheke kabi. Ukube inombolo ibiqhubekile, bekungenzeka ukuqhuma ngenxa “yomugqa” wobuchwepheshe. Ngenhlanhla, le nhlekelele yagwenywa.
Kusukela ngo-2007, kube nezihloko emaphephandabeni ukuthi inkanyezi inezinkinga ezinkulu zempilo. UKim waze wanyamalala isikhashana. Kwadingeka akhansele amanye amakhonsathi. Ngo-2010, umculi wahlinzwa inhliziyo, wabe esebuyela ekuphileni okusebenzayo kokudala.
Impilo yomuntu siqu yeciko
UKim uzama ukungakhulumi ngempilo yakhe yomuntu siqu. Akukho okwaziwayo mayelana nokuzilibazisa kobusha balo mculi. Ushade nomculi waseHungary uLivia Zita. Uma sibheka iqiniso lokuthi umbhangqwana uvame ukubonakala ndawonye, uyajabula.
U-Livia noKim baba abalingani hhayi kuphela empilweni yomndeni, kodwa futhi nasekusunguleni. Iqiniso liwukuthi wabamba iqhaza ekurekhodweni kwe-The Puppet Master nethi Give Me Your Soul… Ngicela ihlanganiswe njengomculi osekelayo. Ngo-2017, izibulo lazalwa osaziwayo. Indodana yaqanjwa ngokuthi nguByron (ngemva komculi odumile weqembu le-Uriah Heep).
inkosi diamond manje
UKim uyaqhubeka nokuzibandakanya ekudaleni. Abalandeli bomsebenzi walo mculi bangafunda izindaba zakamuva ezinkundleni zokuxhumana zakhe. Ngo-2019, lo mculi wethula iculo elithi Masquerade of Madness. Lo mculi usevele wayicula bukhoma cishe unyaka odlule. Ingoma izofakwa ku-The Institute's LP, ezophuma ngonyaka ozayo.
Ngo-2020, uKim uyaqhubeka nokucula nebhendi; ukuvakasha kuwebhusayithi esemthethweni kuhlelwa kusasele izinyanga ezimbalwa. Ingxenye yemidlalo yabafana kudingeke ukuthi ihoxiswe ngenxa yokuqubuka kobhubhane lwe-coronavirus.
