It's April 1st.

This is music news today, AI-powered stories from the music world.

I'm Cory with the story.

Lex Legion just dropped their debut single, Sleep Eternally, bringing together four fits

of King Diamond's classic late 80s lineup.

Basis Halpatino, drummer Mickey D, guitarist Andy LaRocke, and P Block, plus new vocalist

Nils Kay Rue from Pagan's Mind.

The video hit our March 31st, directed by Patrick Layus.

These guys have been jamming on this album off and on for years, staying tight through

it all.

It's been 37 years since their last record together.

Conspiracy and 38 since recording them, back in 1988.

First time in the same room for the video shoot since then, and Patino says it felt like

no time passed, same vibes and jokes.

Fans are buzzing because these legends, Mickey from Motorhead and Scorpions, Andy from

Death 2, have insane pedigrees and stayed close friends.

King Diamond's supporters been waiting for ever for this reunion spark, blending that

old school metal fire with fresh energy.

Album self-titled, dropping June 2026 on M&RK music group, with another single Gypsy

tears coming first.

Lean riffs, killer melodies, straight-up headbangers that not to Iron Maiden and Queen's Rishae

eras, but hit harder now.

This crew's filling a real gap in metal, writing on their terms like Back in the Day, no

compromises.

Their bond and skills make Lex Legion a must-hear pure thunder that'll have you cranking

it loud.
