KING DIAMOND-The graveyard (my review)

 

Welcome to graveyard. At night. This horror story is very various, with many entanglements. The plot is pretty insane. It's about insane King who's possessed by urban legend. This horror story belongs to the best ones by King Diamond. It's supernatural how he created this horror masterpiece.

Lyrically is perfectly lunatic and impressive. Every song will drag you in this ghostly story. It will never let you go. It will let you drowned in the graveyard of fear and darkness. 

You'll be bound with this horror musical story forever. And you'll never forget on this ghostly experience. This insane musical adventure is maybe the most unique in its own essence. With a lot of interesting horror melodies, heavy riffs. Just music is very miscellaneous here. In my opinion, on this album is very good progress in songwritting. Structure of every tune is intricate, various and with a lot of different feelings, emotions, tempos and atmospheres. It's really impressive album. 

I can hear absolutely everything what's all about. I can imagine what every song contains. There are a musical pictures in these songs. If I hear the song I see them all. It's a living horror musical adventure. I can't describe how great is this. A golden masterpiece in dark heavy metal universe.

KING DIAMOND-The spider's lullabye (my review)

 

Spiders and arachnophobia have become a theme for the last 4 songs. Other ones creates an independent horror story. 

And just this theme has become a very strong for this album. Spiders of horror fear weaves their webs in all these songs, mainly in last 4 songs. Instantly at the beginning it's clear that this musical horror book is perfectly excellent. 

A powerful ghostly thunder shakes the ground and awakes all spiders that spreads the fright. And their last lullabye for every victims. Musically, get ready, because this ain't any sweet lullabye. It's a stunning, ghostly, dark, sinister lullabye. Music on this album is pretty miscellaneous. No boredom. So you'll never fall asleep. Spiders will never let you sleep!

This wonderful musical nightmare has many interesting and impressive moments in every single tune. Ornaments of an adventurous horror musical book are presented really everywhere. All music is heavenly insane. Lyrics are ghostly as always. Stunning, unique voice of King Diamond is a golden part of this album. I have no bad words. It's one of the most wonderful King Diamond albums. If you like this album you've caught into spider's web. And the spider's lullabye will haunt you forever...

KING DIAMOND-"The eye" (my review)

 

Another single horror heavy metal story is about real historical events. 

Except of "Eye of the witch". This tune and its lyric is fictional.

Horror story is about chasing the witches and their death. 

"Eye of the witch" is one of their most excellent songs together with "Burn" . Other songs aren't so great. Even if they contains dark, horror atmosphere. Something could be better. Previous albums contains more influential, prominent songs. It's a bit weaker album but due to King Diamond a bit better. 

He gives a typical horror atmosphere to this musical book. "The eye" is sinister, dark, watching the past and presence. It's a mysterious part inside heavy metal haunted world. 

Sometimes there are a mixed feelings of fear and despair connected with hopeless ways in history. Even history is sometimes very mysterious like this album. Also musical feelings are strange, rare, remarkable. In its own way, essence this is a really special, unique album. Not the best but different. You can hear just some great ideas, moments in some parts of tunes. 

Some guitar musical moments, melodies are an ornament of this artwork. The most wonderful ornament is still the voice of King Diamond.

KING DIAMOND-Conspiracy (my review)

 

The continuation of musical horror story from previous album is pretty excellent in own way, the word excellent is weak enough. 

Musically is similar to "Them" but not completely. I think the horror guitar riffs, melodies, solos, atmosphere is much better than on previous metal piece. 

Also, the structure of all these songs is much better, interesting, impressive. The sound of an album is clear and more attractive. The horror atmosphere is, of course, very well presented. It's also wonderful to hear it. Lyrically, it's a cool horror musical book. 

You can hear it, imagine it, feel it in the musical horror darkness. Layers of insanity and fear comes out from every word and tone. The horrifying story has one stunning magic. It's music. The magic that gives a supernatural power in night, in day, everywhere, anytime. This music expresses all feelings, emotions, blights, frights. It's perfectly ghostly. But also wonderful.

I absolutely think this is the best, greatest King Diamond album. Amazing lyrics, music, choruses, vocals, tunes. I can't choose the best song. It's impossible indeed. King Diamond and Andy LaRocque have created an absolute horror doom, apocalypse.

The spellbinding artwork. Also album cover is ghostly. "Conspiracy" is eternal, dark and invincible. 

It's a golden horror heavy metal masterpiece. Jewel in their discography. 

KING DIAMOND-"Them" (my review)

 

A big horror musical story about King, his family and "Them". 

This story continues on album "Conspiracy". 

It's, in my opinion, much harder, more haunted and more insane than "Abigail". A dark energy is spreading from this album very intensively. Story is also more miscellaneous together with music and horror atmosphere. 

If I listen to these songs I imagine what's happening in this horror story. Through music I see a visions about "Them" all, if I close my eyes. This music is like a living horror movie. I see, hear, feel how the story goes. And that's a magic. A horror magic of "Them".

It's a very well processed music with story, lyrics. Musically, I can't write any bad word. Haunted but pretty attractive. It's a breathtaking, amazing connection of musical horror feelings, haunted things and everything what's insane. 

"Them", they are insane, wild, horrible. But that music is supernatural with these melodic, haunted, hard guitar riffs. 

Individual magic of horror feelings is inside King's vocals. 

"Them" is an another top. A golden masterpiece inside the abyss of heavy metal. The most insane, totally terrifying adventure. The greatest insanity of all insanities. More terrifying than all horrors together. 

Because...it's..."Them"...

KING DIAMOND-Abigail (my review)

 

A full musical horror story mainly about Abigail is the second deadly attack by this unique band. I won't write a full story but it's pretty cool, stunning, impressive and, of course, haunted. 

This adventurous album will surely penetrate to your mind and you'll never forget it. It's totally unforgettable. 

Music, lyrics, vocals will be repeating in your mind constantly. You'll be dreaming about this. This music is infectious and haunted. 

The nightmare about Abigail would be very rare and insane. Well, that's a horror side of this album. Musically, it's more melodic but less dark than Fatal Portrait. 

The atmosphere and sound is heavy, powerful, haunted, mysterious and stunning. The best moments lives in "Funeral", "Arrival", "A mansion in darkness", "The family ghost", "Abigail" and "Black horsemen".

It's a golden jewel in their discography and in heavy metal universe. This album and horror story is simply invincible. A performance of all musicians is very stunning and admirable. Vocals of King Diamond gives a special horror atmosphere as always to every tune. 

Abigail is insanely insane and interesting musical horror masterpiece.
