King Diamond - Abigail [Colored Vinyl LP]

King Diamond peaked early in his career as a solo artist, but oh what a peak it was. An incredibly chilling, morbid, edge-of-your-seat concept album, Abigail sounds as cool and badass today as it did back in 1987. The level of musicianship is top notch throughout, especially in the guitar department, with the battling leads of Andy La Rocque and Michael Denner often grabbing the spotlight. The whole band sounds on fire and Roberto Falcao's reverb-drenched, 80's production suits the material perfectly. A must-have for any real metal fan, Abigail was the first Roadrunner record to crack the Billboard Top 200 chart. Released as part of Metal Blade's 2020 King Diamond reissue series, this colored vinyl LP edition features a spined sleeve with an insert and download card. King Diamond notes, "These are not remasters. These are the albums as they were originally done in the old days from the original production masters. They retain all the original dynamics that were captured at the time. It's very exciting to present these to fans as they were originally released."
