I was going to say King Diamonds Abigail but since his solo work is basically songs interwoven as one big story instead I'll go with his first band Merciful fate and those songs are The Bell witch Melissa Evil Curse of the Pharaohs Return of the Vampire Black Masses

I was going to say King Diamonds Abigail but since his solo work is basically songs interwoven as one big story instead I'll go with his first band Merciful fate and those songs are The Bell witch Melissa Evil Curse of the Pharaohs Return of the Vampire Black Masses "Curse of the Pharaohs" is my favorite of the Mercyful Fate songs I've heard. Your post inspired me to listen to it again. When I was a kid--back before black metal was a thing--King Diamond had an imposing image as a genuine Satanist among a crowd of metal musicians playing at devil worship.

Yep which made his music so much more engaging than the hair/ glam fruit rock that cluttered the 80's.

I think Suicide's immortal cheerer Frankie Teardrop deserves a mention here. Also Liverpool's finest, the multi-faceted and unfailingly delightful Carcass, could have at least figured in horror stories in their earlier blackly comic gore obsessed days, songs like Reek of Putrefaction (Snort the corpse!), Exhume to Consume etc.
