KING DIAMOND

5th album from 1990 by Danish KING DIAMOND and one of the most ambitious concept albums of his entire career. "The Eye" tells a dark story set during the French Inquisition, combining sophisticated Heavy Metal with King Diamond's unmistakable theatrical style and the outstanding guitar work of Andy LaRocque and Pete Blakk. The result is one of the strongest and most complete releases in his catalogue.

The album stands out for the way its narrative unfolds naturally through intricate songwriting, haunting atmospheres and constantly evolving arrangements. Widely regarded as one of the finest concept albums in Heavy Metal, "The Eye" also marked the end of the first great era of KING DIAMOND before the band's early 1990s hiatus.
