Happy All Soul's Day!

[Josh Seipp]

In honor of Friday and All Soul's Day I will post every King Diamond Album I have.

Fatal Portrait

King Diamond's debut solo album. It's pretty good in an 80's thrash kind of way and features (as all his albums do) the amazing guitar work of Andy LaRocque. Not a concept album like the rest, but definitely worth it if just for the song "No Presents for Christmas."

Abigail

Widely recognized as the second-best King Diamond album.

 

[Josh Seipp]

THEM

The big one. If you only listen to one King Diamond album today, make it this one.

 

[Josh Seipp]

Conspiracy

The sequel to THEM, and I have to say I'm not a big fan. I think it lacks cohesiveness and um, balls.

 

[Josh Seipp]

Unfortunately I do not have The Eye available, but you aren't really missing much. That one had a drum machine instead of a drummer.

The Spider's Lullaby

The Spider's Lullaby is one side of random tunes and one side a short tale of phobia, madness, and death. Poor production value but some great songs.

 

[Josh Seipp]

The Graveyard

A Highly underrated album that I have not been able to stop listening to lately. I think it features the creepiest story and some of the most interesting songs they've ever done (although once again, terrible production value).

 

[Josh Seipp]

Voodoo

It's...about voodoo. Features a guest solo by Dimebag Darrell.

 

[Josh Seipp]

House of God

The true story of Jesus, post-crucifiction.

 

[Josh Seipp]

I'm also missing Abigail II and The Puppet Master. Avi?

Give Me Your Soul...Please

The most recent studio album release by KD - I have to say I am in love with this album, I think it's the best thing they've done since Them. I know a lot of people won't agree with me cause it's pretty rock-n-roll and he definitely can't hit the high notes like he used to but it's been in my car stereo for almost two weeks now.

JOSH THANK YOU

 

[Josh Seipp]

you are welcome! I'm glad SOMEONE enjoyed it.

 

[xfer]

everyone else just quietly dled the albums and then slipped away

 

[Josh Seipp]

I only wish I could believe that...

 

[azal]

I already have all the good ones.
It's the thought that counts, josh!

Because of this thread... I listened to "THEM" instead of finishing up training at my new job.
