    This has to be one of the very best 80's metal albums of all time. The story concept and musicianship is just amazing with fantastic guitar work by Andy LaRocque.

    Recently rediscovered! As a teenager i remember what a masterpiece this album truly was! I was never a huge fan of the vocals, although the vocal phrasings and harmonies are incredibly original and beautiful, the guitar playing is incredible. Huge guitar sound on this album. Super orginal riffs and very melodic playing with tremendous feel. This guy can play fast, but what appreciate is his choice of notes and the tremendous feeling, excellent vibrato. Any guitar players out there agree or disagree? This album influenced many young guitar players in the 80's.

    I listen to Metal since 1988 when i was a little boy but i somehow missed King Diamond. As a Thrash-Teenager his singing always sounded too opera like for me back then. And now since last November 2022 almost 35 years later i tried it again. Man.... it blew me away like a tornado !! On the one hand i'm a little embarrassed that it took me so long to recognize this unique quality on the other hand i'm glad to have discovered it after all. With the predominantly mediocre stuff that's been released nowadays, it has something for itseelf to rediscover such a top-class metal "brand new". I feel like I've struck on gold \m/

    Me too, but I was listening to this in 1989 to 1990 my senior year (I am 52 years old now) when it was new. I remember when I first heard this stuff; blew my socks off. Then I went on the deep dark (evil) rabbit hole after this man's work. I found Mercyful Fate and Black Rose and Brats. Then I got to listen to his voice before it was prefected to complete bliss to my ears. With Andy on guitar and King's voice, I was in my own world; just like today. I just finished playing along to Abigil on this anniversry of the album. Still take me back to that special place in my heart and mind. My friend Joe opened me up to Iron Madien, Motorhead, Danzig, Slayer, King Diamond, Manowar, etc.. I was an AC/DC fan through and through; but this ..... I just don't have words for it. It is the reason I still keep going; Spirits in Black till the end.....

This is seriously a masterpiece and pretty ahead of its time musically. I'm not surprised that the lead guitar player was also in Death.

    I haven't listed to this in a very, very long time. Decades. Just a few days ago, i had a dream about me being woke up in a freezing room, with a fireplace still burning, and some blinding light presence speaking something. There was someone in the bed with me. Then i woke up, and everything got foggy. For the past few days, i've been rummaging this album and lyrics and my head, non stop, and i remembered this dream clearly. I don't even know how i still remember the lyrics and everything. This is just fukin weird. I just felt compelled to listed to it. I suggest re-uploading with higher sound levels, it's 80's low for headphones. And how was a movie not made on this? This is really good story.

    One of the greatest metal "concept" albums in the history of music. Around the age of 24 I remember playing nearly this entire album with a bunch of other musicians from New York. Of course, we had no singer. Those who said they could do it usually just did some horrible falsetto that sounded more like Edith Bunker than King, but it was still just as fun because all these riffs and beats are great!! And it still holds up today, just like all great music..

    It was tough! Especially at 24. I was lucky because the other guitarist, drummer and bassist were quite good and we worked closely together to try to figure everything out as correct as possible. There were a couple of solos we didn't play note for note, but it was all close enough that nobody ever noticed. I think my most favorite song to play was "the black horsemen" with that beautiful twelve string intro, and that riff behind when king sings "The pain of labor was so strong that Miriam died! Her final seeing was a pair of yellow eyes!" And also the two guitars behind "Now we're finally alone, Miriam. Abigail is here to stay..." Great utilization of two guitarists. Great orchestration. Great vocal and guitar harmonies. It still holds up all these years later.. And it was a fantastic learning experience for me. I know some people don't care for his voice but it's heavy metal horror opera!! And I think kings voice couldn't be more perfect for what they were creating. I can't hear anyone else singing these tracks, just like I can't imagine anyone but Geddy singing for Rush.

    My step daughter named her daughter Abigail three months into her pregnancy. The kid never made it. She had to deliver her dead. We all had a funeral at the hospital. The staff at the hospital was more than charitable and even a few of the nurses cried. I cant imagine what its like to carry your dead child inside you or the grief she felt having done so. Fucked up. Every time I play this album for a brief moment I wonder if her spirit is with her mom.
