Released in 1987, Abigail is the second King Diamond album, a concept record revolving around a haunted mansion, the malevolent ghost of a stillborn child, and the tragic fate of the new owners of the property. Cloaked in dark drama and echoing the classic early horror movies for atmosphere, many fans consider this the defining King Diamond record.

When King’s original band Mercyful Fate split up, having released two genre defining masterpieces Melissa and Don’t Break the Oath, he formed King Diamond along with guitarist Michael Denner and and bassist Timi Hansen. The line up on Abigail was completed by guitar virtuoso Andy La Roque, and drummer Mikkey Dee who later joined Motorhead.
