King Diamond's having a bit of a moment lately - there's something pure in just how far they take the gothic metal thing, all-in on the searing falsettos, spooky tales, and shredding guitar solos.
The make-or-break's gonna be those vocals. They arrive at some kind of shrill majesty, but they're undeniably really fucking annoying to human ears. Everything else holds up like hell - the story//symbols//numerology are all great campy fun, and the guitars are white-hot joy. The utter shamelessness is a sight to behold - but man, them vocals. Your mileage may vary 3.5/5
