| | 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. |
