  Conspiracy (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Conspiracy is a name of a concept album by King Diamond, as the second part of a story (the first being Them).
In this sequel to Them, an adult King returns to the House of Amon to reclaim his rightful place as heir to the house.
He makes a deal with "Them", (the unseen antagonists from the album of the same name, part one of the story), to return control of the house to Them in exchange for the chance to see his now-dead sister again.

 No Life Til Metal - CD Gallery - King Diamond
King Diamond was formed from the ashes of Mercyful Fate and named after the band's vocalist.
King Diamond is musically similar to Mercyful Fate but for the most part they drop the 'all hail ye Satan' lyrics for concepts based on bizarre, fictional stories.
King Diamond's signature, ultra-high, falsettos are used minimally on this album, and mostly as background.

 King Diamond Interview
King: Well this time we had a little girl come in and play the part of Abigail and laugh at me during one of the tracks.
King: The first thing is that we did not just milk the same story as Abigail and re-write it and throw it back into the stores.
The whole story behind the first live album was that it was released to get out of the record deal we had at the time and there are things about it that are positive and there are things about it that are negative.

 King Diamond - Satan Stole My Teddybear   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
King wrote the majority of the album, and his songs are less concerned with the traditional verse-chorus-verse arrangement than with creating an epic sound that increases the atmosphere of the tale.
The man known as King Diamond, as we have come to expect, sings a medley of techniques, from growls and "evil" baritones to his piercing, high falsettos.
King Diamond's original band back in Denmark was called Black Rose, which was a five piece band playing a style of music highly influenced by some of the 70s prog rock bands like Kansas and Deep Purple (both of which are the most obvious influences on this recording).

 Metal Invader ( King Diamond - The Puppet Master ) Review.
KING DIAMOND is one of the bands that I grew up listening to.
King Diamond always maintains an excellent level in his albums in terms of musicianship, vocal performance and song arrangements.
The conceptual theme of a KING DIAMOND release is an inextricable part of each album as it contributes to the album’s feeling and often hints the directions that the music should follow to produce a successful combination.

King was still looking for a new drummer for the recording of his upcoming album, so he hired temporarily Mikkey as a session drummer, but just for the recording sessions only.
At first, both albums were supposed to be released at the same time, but however, the record company have decided to release them a few months one from another; they thought both albums would sell more if the were not released simultaneously.
All the King Diamond albums have stories that touch very deep on the human mind and human nature, but this time, the story touched on a subject that is often taboo: incest.

King Diamond, and these three records, work so well because of a perfect combination of great songwriting; inspired and extremely skillful playing; tight, well-rehearsed arrangements; and the chemistry and personality of the players.
King Diamond is one of the greatest voices in metal/rock and one of the most original, unlike your self Mr Simmons.

I have been a King Diamond/Mercyful Fate fan since the early 80's, so it goes without saying that I love King Diamond's voice, which seems to be a problem for some other metalheads.
Regardless of whether you have soured on King over the past 7 or 8 years, this is a worthy album and if he ever tours it I am positive it will be something to see.
While at first glance at the booklet the backstory and actual plot of the album may seem corny, once you sit down and listen to the album and read along and follow, everything falls into place and the masterpiece that this album is begins to fall into place.

 King Diamond
The new album was a bit more straight-forward and King increased the amount of high vocals on most songs of the album and the lyrics were kind of toned down, even though they were still heavily satanic, none of the songs was as extreme as "Nuns have no fun" or "Black Funeral".
When the album was released, Fate even went to America to start a tour with Motorhead which was very successful, but during that time Hank Shermann wanted to do something different and it is said that he had even weared pink sweatsuits on stage.
Not only the music on that one was excellent, but the story which King had made up in a dream showed that King was and still is writing one of the best lyrics in metal even though he was critizised very much for the stories of the songs on his early Mercyful Fate albums.

King has a way of painting a picture in your head, being very descriptive in detailing the aspects of the settings, emotions, appearances, and actions of every character in the story.
When Kings career is done this will probably be thought of as one of his finer works, and that says alot coming from a man who has more classic albums then i would care to count.
King Diamond's singing style is pretty unique: he makes liberal use of a falsetto in addition to his normal mid-range and occasional deep growls.

While the album is quite accessible, it did take a few listens before the album opened up to me, but from then on it has just kept on growing.
I wish King would do a DVD for the older albums, it wouldn't mean as much as The Puppet Master but would be cool to have and see the King tell the story.

 CD GALLERY: King Diamond
After King Diamond left Mercyful Fate, he set out in a different musical direction, abandoning the all-out Satan tunes for more generalized horror stories in the style of H.P. Lovecraft.
(By the way, don't take the "King" as any sort of comparison to Stephen King...King Diamond is a MUCH better writer!!!) The tale here, as far as I can tell, is about the evil spirit of a stillborn baby (Abigail) who possesses the soul of her great-great-great-granddaughter 200 years later, or something like that.
I certainly won't go THAT far to describe this album, but clearly, like Meat Loaf's awful Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell, this is a pure marketing gimmick thinly disguised as a "return to the old school", and King Diamond ought to be ashamed of himself.

Chaim's claim was that King's makeup was "familar,similar and comprehensively and comparitvely based on the images presented, owned and copyrighted by the band KISS." Next thing you know King (Kim) had to change his look.
King opened with the PA intro for "Don't break the oath" with a "slide show" of lightning, we were laughing so hard we almost pissed ourselves!

The last complaint is that Conspiracy was not as good as I had thought, but it's still good, not as good as THEM though.
From the start, I had always figured that THEM would be my least favorite King album, but as soon as I listened to it, my mind changed drastically, this is King's absolute best album ever.
Conspiracy follows up to THEM, but it seems like less attention was placed on story than the previous part of the story.

I have waited sooooo long to see the King live, just read on the K.D. message board that he won't be coming to Europe this year which is dissapointing, so hopefully he will come to London nxt year.
I only listened to the album a couple of times and then shelved it for about a year.
