King Diamonds second solo album was the first to truly perfect his projects phantasmagoric metal vision. Haunted mansions and chilling prophecies. Time travel. Murder. Possession. The piercing, yellow eyes of the reborn Abigail. The Danish royals fully-fleshed out and bone-chilling concept album is a majestic Eighties metal feat centered on a compellingly creepy storyline, but driven home via the Kings famous falsetto power-howl and some next level shred from guitar god Andy LaRocque. Relive a ripping, wretched tale like no other via this eerily illustrated picture disc pressing.

With his sophomore solo full-length, 1987sAbigail, King Diamond crafted his first bona fide concept album, telling the chilling tale of Miriam Natias and her husband, Jonathan LaFey, who move into a very haunted ancestral mansion. Disaster may befall the storys protagonists, but for King, the LP is nothing less than a masterpiece. Its also his eponymous bands last with its classic original lineup, as guitarist Michael Denner and bassist Timi Hansen would split shortly afterAbigails release.Revolver Staff
