With The Puppet Master, the Danish horror king delivers an album that will not disappoint dedicated fans. It introduces more horror-tale lyrics, classic guitar riffs, complex song structures, eerie solos and creative use of keyboards you can only get from King Diamond.
This concept album, catchier than the rest, tells the story of a psychopath, who turns living people into puppets.
Guitarist Andy LaRoque demonstrates solid guitar work once again, which easily compares to relics such as Abigail and Conspiracy. The whole album falls just short of an hour in length, every minute weirder than the last.
