Faster Pussycat - Hellbound (King Diamond... cover?)

[aznsquirt]

Watching a random 2002 bootleg of Faster Pussycat:

Before the song, Taime says "This is a song we adapted for ourselves. Fuckin', King Diamond... and..." and then he cuts off as the guitar starts.

Setlist.fm lists this song as being named "Hellbound", and they only played it for a few months during the summer of 2002.

Searching some of the lyrics, I can't find any King Diamond or Mercyful Fate song that has similar lyrics. The way they play it is a pretty generic sounding pop-punk song.

Does anyone know the backstory to this song, what it was "adapted from" etc?

Thanks!

So Taime decided to randomly/drunkenly refer to Marc Diamond as "King Diamond". That's funny.
