Background information about 'Them'

When King Diamond unleashed "Them" in 1988, the Danish master of theatrical horror metal delivered what many consider his magnum opus. This third studio album stands as a towering achievement in concept album storytelling, weaving a bone-chilling narrative about a young boy's psychological descent into madness alongside his possessed grandmother and the malevolent spectral entities known as "Them" that haunt their family home.

The album showcases King Diamond's unparalleled ability to craft atmospheric horror scenarios through his distinctive falsetto vocals, which shift between different characters throughout the story. From the asylum-set opener "Out From The Asylum" to the haunting finale "Coming Home", each track builds the narrative with surgical precision. The musicianship is equally impressive, with intricate guitar work and dynamic arrangements that perfectly complement the theatrical vocals. Originally released through Roadrunner Records, "Them" continues the story that would later be explored in the follow-up album "Conspiracy", cementing King Diamond's reputation as metal's premier storyteller.
