Last Wednesday, Arto Lehtinen of Metal-Rules.com conducted an interview with King Diamond‘s lead guitarist Andy LaRocque, who was asked if they were working on new material. He replied:
“Yeah, we did, and we were actually talking about starting writing songs this fall, but I started many years ago. So I think I already have like five or maybe six songs already for the next album, more or less ready, I would say. I don’t really think that King has come that far in the writing process, but he got a lot of ideas in his head about the next album, I know that.”
King Diamond (the singer) underwent open heart triple bypass surgery back in 2010. The band’s last album, Give Me Your Soul…Please, came out back in June 2007 via Massacre Records.
