We have just received word from King Diamond himself that the name of the new King Diamond album due out sometime in October 2003 will be titled "The Puppet Master". King made it quite apparent that he is not holding anything back on this new story filled with terror and sorrow. The story is complete and the band has just started writing the music to accompany this gruesome tale set to take place in Budapest, Hungary. As King describes it this album is going to make the hairs stand up on the back of listeners neck. "The rules of censorship are being thrown out the window...this is going to be the rawest story/album we have ever done." King was also quick to point out that "if you are into horror; you're definitely going to get it with this album!" We will have more information in the months to come about what will be considered one of King's goriest and most extreme stories yet!
