Fresh off a massively successful North American headlining tour, King Diamond has offered a new single and video, "Spider Lilly".
"Spider Lilly" is the first track from King Diamond's upcoming Horror Trilogy, of which part one is titled Saint Lucifer's Hospital 1920. A first-time mixing collaboration with Arthur Rizk, who also mastered "Spider Lilly", has produced an incredibly powerful sound picture, as clear and dynamic as a full moon on a star-filled black night. The music and lyrics are by King Diamond.
The lineup is still the same, with King Diamond handling lead and backing vocals and playing the Hammond Organ, Andy La Rocque and Mike Wead on guitars, Pontus Egberg on the bass, and Matt Thompson on drums. A special guest appearance - Danish female vocalist Myrkur - provided amazing additional backing vocals.
Part of the "Spider Lilly" video was filmed at the haunted Pennhurst Asylum outside of Philadelphia on a travel day during the band's recent North American tour, two days before Halloween. Only King himself, actress Jodi Cachia, producer David Brodsky, Allie Woest, and their killer crew could have participated on that specific day.
"What a dark but great experience", King says, "Hopefully that was not the last video we will be able to film there".
There are already several tales waiting to be told about all that has happened before, during, and after the birth of the song "Spider Lilly"… Link
