King Diamond fans have been waiting with bated breath for updates on the band’s next major project, and 2025 is shaping up to be a monumental year for the legendary heavy metal outfit. After years of anticipation, King Diamond has confirmed that their first studio album in 18 years, The Institute, will finally be released in late 2025. The album, which will be presented as a two-LP horror concept, is expected to continue the band’s signature blend of intricate storytelling, theatrical performances, and dark, atmospheric metal. The first part of the album will drop in 2025, with the second part expected to follow later.
This announcement has set the fanbase ablaze with excitement. The new album is not just a musical milestone but a culmination of years of hard work and creative development. Guitarist Andy La Rocque mentioned that the band has been meticulously working on the album, with the aim to finish it by spring 2025, just in time for their planned summer festival tour across Europe. Fans are hoping for a preview of the album’s sound during these shows.
In addition to the new album, King Diamond has been actively engaging with fans through new music releases. During their recent North American tour, the band introduced new tracks like Spider Lilly and Electro Therapy, adding to the anticipation of what’s to come. Furthermore, the band dropped a new music video for Masquerade of Madness in 2023, marking their first visual release in years.
As the band prepares for the release of The Institute, fans are eagerly awaiting further announcements about potential singles, music videos, and the full album’s tracklist. The coming year promises to be an exciting time for both the band and their devoted fol
lowers.
