The Spider's Lullabye in Bloomington, MN

Perhaps his best album since the classic
Abigail
,
King Diamond
's
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
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
craftsmanship. ~ Andy Hinds
