KING DIAMOND
GIVE ME YOUR SOUL PLEASE
2007
REVIEW BY BLAKE
Review:
The King has entered the building with another slab of horror induced metal along the same lines of what you would come to expect with KING DIAMOND. Another concept album story which tells the story with each song. Just a average album with some great usual rockers like with NEVER ENDING HILL and MIRROR MIRROR. Some of the songs seem to be just for telling the story where the music isn't much of a concern. The guitar solo tradeoffs with long time KING sidekick ANDY LA ROCQUE and MIKE WEAD are great and missing in to many of todays modern metal bands. I am surprised KING has never released a dvd/video cd as that would be something to see and make up for the lack of creativity in some of the music writing. Still good songs just not enough that really stand out and to kick to a high level like older KING or MERCYFUL FATE. Still long live the KING.Fav Cuts: Never Ending Hill, Mirror Mirror, Give Me Your Soul
