Revolver magazine recently reported that KING DIAMOND's new CD was
inspired by a painting called "My Mother's Eyes" which the band's
distributor in Denmark stumbled across while surfing the Net (and
which Diamond has since bought for the new CD cover). The more
Diamond looked at the image of a battered blond girl with blood
covering her white dress, holding out palms affixed with protruding
eyeballs, the more it captivated and inspired him. "I can feel the
energy of the front cover in all the songs we wrote, and it will
definitely affect my lyrics," he promised.

Diamond wrote the music for the new album from December 2005 through
February 2006, then recorded the basic tracks in his basement.

"It classes over anything I've ever done," Diamond beamed. "The
arrangements are more intricate, the production is better, and for
the parts where there are violins, it sounds like we hired the Royal
Philharmonic. As long as I don't fuck up the vocals, this should be
our best record."

KING DIAMOND in 2005 completed a U.S. tour with NILE, BEHEMOTH and
THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. A live CD, "Deadly Lullabyes Live", was
issued in 2004.
