Description
No one loves a good, creepy concept album the way that King Diamond does, and for his 1986 debut solo LP, the helium-voiced singer indulged that passion with a spine-tingling supernatural storyline inspired by Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. Helping to bring the narrative (which spans five of the album’s nine tracks) to life is a righteous instrumental lineup: guitar heroes Andy LaRocque and Michael Denner, bassist Timi Hansen and future-Motörhead drummer Mikkey Dee.
