KING DIAMOND

Release Year: 2020
Artist Origin: DEN
Style: menacing demonic speed heavy metal

recorded in Copenhagen on the verge of 1986-1987, the classic sophomore Diamond disk is proof-sealing the direction of the devilish project, fairly quickly turning into an absolute of menacing demonic speed/heavy metal, unleashing an infamous bone-chilling horror story about the haunted house and fatal destiny of its inhabitants, thus proving that ferocious music can also include a cinematic storytelling touch; inspiringly flawless record knocks from the spooky introductory Funeral up to the ending notes of Black Horsemen, culminating with dramatic The Family Ghost and anthemic The 7th Day of July 1777, expressively reconstructing in detail the mesmerizing tale; recent German vinyl replica edition comes in hardcover gatefold digisleeve format on black polycarbonate disk with a lyric insert that folds out into a mini poster
