The Spider's Lullabye

King Diamond's sixth studio album The Spider's Lullabye was released in 1995. Unlike most other King Diamond albums which are full concept albums, The Spider's Lullabye is only a partial concept album; the last four songs tell a single story about a character named Harry and his struggle with arachnophobia, while the first half consists of standalone tracks with various horror themes ("Moonlight" is influenced by the film Village of the Damned). The album marked the debut for guitarist Herb Simonsen, bassist Chris Estes, and drummer Darrin Anthony in the King Diamond solo band. Longtime guitarist Andy LaRocque also contributed.
