Review:
Another haunting concept album from the modern day master of metal macabre, King Diamond scores yet another blow to man's fragile psyche with "The Graveyard". This masterfully done 1996 release, like King's previous releases, weaves a dark tale involving an escape mental patient hiding out in a cemetery, ghostly voices, kidnapping and dark revelations delivers the same artfully done, guitar driven metal with King's trademark, unmistakable vocals that metal fans have come to expect from dark metal's godfather. "The Graveyard" also features Andy LaRoque and Herb Simonsen blowing out the walls with a solo laden, twin guitar attack that, as always, never fails to impress.
"The Graveyard" is sure to give the most hardened metal fans fitful nightmares for a good, long time.
