Album number five saw
King turn his attentions to the French Inquisition (1450-1670) and the atrocities performed by the 'servants of God'. The music is typical
King Diamond. The biggest difference from previous works is the greater use of keyboards, but, happily, they add a gothic, eerie church vibe to the sound that works beautifully with the story. You'll be horrified to learn that it's almost all factual, except for the mysterious 'Eye' of the title.
Andy LaRocque's guitar work is again exceptional, and to the fore. In contrast, the bass is a little too low in the mix. New drummer
Snowy Shaw lacked the power of his predecessor. But despite those few niggles, it's another strong
KD album.
