So happy to have a personal favourite album signed by a genuine guitar hero of mine and that we got to chat classic metal and guitar geekery over coffee. Happy metalhead!
The King and Mike
Friday, June 25: King Diamond, “Magic”
The Puppet Master was largely received as just another King Diamond album, and a lesser one at that, as it arrived so quickly after the underwhelming Abigail sequel and felt like it came off the assembly line considering just how prolific Kim Bendix Petersen was around this time (in a roughly 5-year span King made 4 records with his own band as well as another 2 with Mercyful Fate). And while each King Diamond record had a fully fleshed-out story and concept, and The Puppet Master was the first time in ages King had a stable lineup, even lively tracks like “Magic” felt like it had all been done before. The ever-steadfast Andy LaRocque and Mike Wead riffed in fine Euro-goth metal fashion, Hal Patino and Matt Thompson were a steady rhythm section, and King himself was never less than fully committed to his material. And as one of the faster numbers on the record, “Magic” was a convincing headbanger. But we had all heard this several times already, and on more memorable records.
