King Diamond’s Give me Your Soul… Please was released on June 26th 2007 and came in at #174 on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart!Give me Your Soul… Please is a blistering metal horror-opera concept album that draws from themes from the occult and both King Diamond’s personal life, after-life experiences, as well as King Diamond’s signature dark imagination. The result is a montage of murder mysteries meets nightmare dream sequences wrapped in a proto-power-metal soundtrack. As King describes it, “Give me Your Soul… Please is a horror murder mystery story mixed with reality from beginning to end.”

“Augmenting the gothic storytelling and polished musical performances with the usual array of pipe organs, harpsichords and assorted spooky sound effects, Give Me Your Soul…Please is like a bad dream. In a very good way.” Decibel Magazine
