KING DIAMOND

9th album from 2000 by the incomparable KING DIAMOND, another outstanding example of his ability to merge Heavy Metal with dark storytelling. On "House of God", the Danish master unfolds a sinister tale of religion, madness and fanaticism while also presenting his own interpretation of what he believes truly happened to Jesus Christ, giving the album an especially controversial and provocative conceptual dimension.

Musically, the album retains KING DIAMOND's unmistakable identity through the outstanding guitar work of Andy LaRocque and Glen Drover, constantly shifting dynamics, dark atmospheres and King's extraordinary vocal performance, effortlessly moving between his many distinctive styles. Its remarkable balance of power, melody and conceptual depth has established "House of God" as one of the most personal and ambitious releases of his later career.
