Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning to his signature horror-themed storytelling, the Danish heavy metal icon crafted a grisly conceptual tragedy set in 18th-century Budapest. The record features the soaring, operatic soprano of Livia Zita, which perfectly counterbalances Diamond's infamous, piercing falsetto.
