Artist: King Diamond
Released: 1987 RATING: 4.5/5
The Good: "Artist" is a fitting word to describe The King. Abigail is a great combination of Black, Thrash, and Neo-Classical metal elements, and with the supernatural vocals provided by King Diamond himself, this album truly stands out as a landmark work in the metal world. Andy Larocque's leads are awe-inspiring, and make each song that much better just because of their (The leads) presence. Each song is tight and expertly performed. You will be doing yourself a favor by trying this album out.
The Bad: Abigail is a concept album, an an excellent one at that; however, there are a few awkward-sounding parts that are used to bridge the storyline together. Eveything else is as good as one could ever hope.
