KING DIAMOND

Release Year: 2015
Artist Origin: USA
Style: twisted haunting demonic heavy metal

demonic heavy metal with a very doomy, nightmarish vibe - that is the main course of the seventh longplay [1996] by the icon of spooky tales, an hour long drama straight from the cemetery, bringing especially insane, refined and wicked story line along the masterfully layered, lunatic, creepy and highly atmospheric tunes that bring tons of unforgettable moments of horror and ill-natured wisdom; it is a different kind of record and that is what makes music so independently charming, with dread and despair evoked to a degree even Candlemass would be proud of, yet the trademark vocal hypnosis of King and genius guitar leads of Andy make the difference; recent German digipak re-issue comes with a sound remastered by Andy La Rocque, and massively upgraded design
