King Diamond - Conspiracy

NEW VINYL LP ON METAL BLADE RECORDS 2020

180 GRAM VINYL. (Pre-order, out 15-05-20)

The old performers' adage about not overstaying one's welcome proved itself timeless and infinitely applicable when King Diamond decided to follow a pair of stunningly successful musical horror stories -- 1987's Abigail and 1988's "Them" -- with a third, decidedly flawed episode, 1989's Conspiracy. Actually, the King's biggest mistake may have been attempting to pick up the "Them" story line again (18 years after the previous album's chronological conclusion) instead of concocting a fresh one from scratch, thus limiting Conspiracy's character development options somewhat and inviting inevitable comparisons to its clearly superior predecessor.
