Perhaps his best album since the classic
Abigail,
King Diamond's The Spider's Lullaby is another inspired goth rock opera containing some of his most melodic and tightly written songs. The album is produced in typical
King Diamond fashion, with loads of layered vocals, creepy atmospherics and state of the art Eurometal musicianship from the band. Underrated guitarist
Andy LaRocque delivers plenty of hair-raising neoclassical solos, and newcomer
Herb Simonsen is no slouch himself. Check out "From the Other Side" for a slice of near-perfect
King Diamond craftsmanship.
