Fresh off a massively successful North American headlining tour, King Diamond offers up a brand new single, “Spider Lilly”. “Spider Lilly” is the first single and video taken from King Diamond’s forthcoming album “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 written by King Diamond.

The lineup is still the same with King Diamond handling lead and backing vocals plus playing the Hammond Organ, Andy La Rocque and Mike Wead on guitars, Pontus Egberg on the bass, and Matt Thompson on drums. There is also a special guest appearance by Danish female vocalist Myrkur with some amazing additional backing vocals.

Part of the new “Spider Lilly” video was filmed at the very haunted Pennhurst Asylum outside of Philadelphia on a travel day during the band’s recent North American tour, two days before Halloween. It was only King himself and actress Jodi Cachia who could participate on that specific day, together with producer David Brodsky, Allie Woest, and their killer crew.

King Diamond comments about the new video single “Spider Lilly”:

“What a dark but great experience! 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”…”
