Title: He's still the King, but for how much longer?
Review: Abigail II bears no resemblance to Abigail. Gone are the layers of soaring vocals, haunting melodies, complex drum work and inspired guitar soloing. Mikkey Dee is most sorely missed (even Darrin Anthony who played on The Graveyard). The drum work is competent enough, but too predictable. Every double bass kick simply mimics the palmuted riffing and leaves the whole album with a sense of the tried and the true, but not the truly inventive. Even King's vocals have become uninspired. He does more talking, grunting, crying, growling and whispering than display his awesome range and harmonizing as he did on Abigail I. Certainly times have changed and so should the music, but King seems to have completely lost the medieval and operatic tone of his past and embraced the prog-metal wave that we see everywhere we turn our heads now. This album is closer to some of the later Fates Warning than it is to King Diamond. What a shame.
