This album "KING DIAMOND AND BLACK ROSE - 20 Years Ago - A Night Of Rehearsal" is an album released as a King Diamond album. In fact it is a rehearsal tape of a pre-Mercyful Fate band featuring King Diamond on vocals, named Black Rose.

"20 Years Ago - A Night of Rehearsal" is a live album by Danish heavy metal vocalist King Diamond and his former band "Black Rose"", released in 2001. The 12" LP vinyl edition of the album captures a rare glimpse into the early days of King Diamond's career, featuring a recording of a rehearsal session from 1981, before the band's debut album was released.

The album showcases the raw and unpolished sound of "Black Rose"", with heavy riffs, fast-paced drumming, and King Diamond's signature high-pitched vocals.

The rehearsal recording has a lo-fi quality that adds to the album's charm and authenticity, giving listeners a sense of what it was like to be in the room with the band as they honed their craft. The album also includes liner notes from King Diamond himself, providing insight into the band's early days and the recording process for the rehearsal session.
