Black Rose (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Black Rose was a Danish hard rock / heavy metal band with King Diamond on vocals. The band was started in 1979, largely inspired by bands such as Deep Purple and Golden Earring. King Diamond already had a very theatrical stage act, for which he later got fame in Mercyful Fate. The band did not last long as King Diamond joined Mercyful Fate.
