KING DIAMOND

Release Year: 2013
Artist Origin: USA
Style: haunting demonic speed heavy metal

2003's album closes a chapter of more intense creativity, firmly and assuredly proving once again who is the king director of nightmare fantasies and scenarios in heavy metal world - gloomy score of this twelfth full-length reminds a revived story from old books or mystical tales, which captures from the very first text nonetheless, with no happy end in sight, regardless of some romantic moments or rays of light on its way, while expressive music significantly adds up in building a highly atmospheric vibe of the whole experience, quite closely following the back catalog of KD releases where loud and twisted heavy metal is the law; deluxe ten year anniversary three panel double digipak edition comes with extra DVD, where Uncle666 himself tells the Puppet Master story in a documentary-like movie
