This excellent, haunted heavy metal piece was created from everything insane what never existed in all music world.
In 80s it was absolutely the most haunted heavy metal album. In own essence the most horror album. Some horror songs are also on Mercyful Fate albums but here is an absolute top. Musically and lyrically.
King Diamond as a singer was also good in Mercyfyl Fate but here is much better. Each one song is perfectly created. Atmosphere is unique and stunning. I think, King Diamond spent days and mainly nights with writting these songs, lyrics. Here is the power of music and fantasy. It screams in every second. In every moment and feeling. Songs tells an emotional horror stories so well that you must feel a magic of this musical adventure.
This musical horror book shows every ways of fear, insanity.
First 4 songs and "Haunted" are a mutual story. By the way, every other song has own story but severally.
Each musical instrument gives a special horror atmosphere to these tunes. A really special, unique part are vocals of King Diamond (Kim Bendix Petersen).
He gives a totally special, totally unique atmosphere. His voice, it's like a horror siren, is a golden ornament of every King Diamond album. This album has got a power. From the start to the end. In every moment. No weak or useless place. It's the first real horror heavy metal album. It's dark, full of fear, nightmares, insanity and all bad things. But musically, very miscellaneous, beautiful, interesting, admirable, impressive and attractive.
