Negative Positive
Title: Outstanding concept album
Review: King Diamond's 1996 album The Graveyard is a concept album that just plains rocks. It's dark metal at its finest. King Diamond sounds like a cross between Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Metallica. They are definitely influenced by these bands, as all bands are influenced by something out there. King Diamond (formerly of Mercyful Fate) has a wickedly high voice that fits the music perfectly. He has cited Robert Plant, Ian Gillan, Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, and David Byron as his main influences.The entire album rocks. Some of my favorite songs are Trick Or Treat, Black Hill Sanitarium, Meet Me At Midnight, and I'm Not A Stranger.If you want some really dark heavy metal for your listening enjoyment, listen to this album and all this band has to offer. Their concept albums are awesome for the Halloween season or any time you want to listen to dark metal.
