| Sunday, March 4, 2007 - King Diamond album news | News from The Coven Worldwide - The official King Diamond website:
Hello to all you Diamond bangers.
I just got off the phone with King. We talked about two hours and he gave me some very exclusive info about the forthcoming King Diamond CD. King told me he had just finished recording the vocals which he had been doing for the last 4 week about six hours a day.
In the next 3 weeks King and Andy will be mixing and mastering the album (starting Monday the 5th).
Is this better than The Puppet Master I asked him. King started laughing and explained it as follows: we tried to get our drivers license for twenty years and now we finally got it. We passed the test! It's the best album ever definitely, there is no doubt about that for sure. Even the work mix sounds better than any album yet. The music and story are great. I am sure these are my best vocals yet. Andy said to me that he not played solos like this since The Eye. Mike told me he has never been so inspired to do solos as on this album. And yes Livia is on the album too!
King said to me: I guarantee you this is the best album yet I am positive about it. Its more King Diamond there have ever been. It has the best King Diamond top class through the whole album. The story is very dark, perhaps one of the darkest I have ever done before.
King mentioned the intro to the album is a 'real' intro again, like where Midnight (from "The Puppet Master") was more of a pre-song .
Want to get a little taste of what you might expect from the lyrics? Here you go:
Me and my black cat Magic, the beautiful house on Never Ending Hill, the little girl in the bloody dress and her dead little brother, the dark, the floating head woman, shapes of black and YOU
The cover represents a little girl standing on a winding stairs in a white dress covered with blood (which actually is the blood from her little brother). I have seen the unfinished cover and I'll just know you're gonna love it! King also said that the front cover will look like a mirror.
The album will probably be released late June / beginning of July. Nothing is certain yet but it looks that way. The album will be titled:
GIMME YOUR SOUL . PLEASE
The CD contains 13 tracks and the song titles are as follows:
1 THE DEAD (King)
2 NEVER ENDING HILL (Andy)
3 IS ANYBODY HERE? (King)
4 BLACK OF NIGHT (Andy)
5 MIRROR, MIRROR (King)
6 THE CELLAR (Andy)
7 PICTURES IN RED (Andy)
8 GIMME YOUR SOUL (King)
9 THE FLOATING HEAD (Andy)
10 COLD AS ICE (King)
11 SHAPES OF BLACK (King)
12 THE GIRL IN THE BLOODY DRESS (King)
13 MOVING ON (King)
As soon as we have more info, like a release date we will let you know on the CWW website. |
