`The test of the artist does not lie in the will with which hegoes to work, but in the excellence of the work he produces´ -Saint Thomas Aquinas

King Diamonds ninth studio album `House Of God´ is probably themost diverse and well conceived that King Diamond and Andy La Roquehave ever come up with. The opening track has a quasi-Middleeastern sounding tinge to it, as does the mini-epic rocker"Catacombs". You have more classic sounding rockers like "The treeshave eyes", "The Pact", "Black Devil" and the quasi-Judas Priestsounding "This Place is Terrible". Meanwhile, songs such as"Goodbye", "A Passage to Hell", "Just a Shadow" and "Follow theWolf" have more progressive elements to them, and also somedramatic vocal performances. "Help" is, without a doubt, one of themost insane vocal performances I've ever heard. And we also have arather beautiful instrumental to close the album, provided by LaRoque, which has some rather odd sounding ambiences at the veryending. One particularly interesting aspect of later King Diamondmaterial, particularly the post-Them era has been the use ofatmospheric devices to aid in setting the album concepts. Onearlier works, keyboards were often used sparingly at the intros,and acoustic/clean electric guitars were not often to be found. Onthis album, we find both Diamond and La Roque doing some ratherimpressive keyboard work, in addition to a rather believable choirof wolf howls on track 3. Stand out atmospheric tracks include"Upon the Cross", "Follow the Wolf", "House of God", "Help", "APassage to Hell", and the outro.
