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.
