King Diamond - Abigail Ii:The Revenge (2Lp Picture

Facts Abigail II: The Revenge is an album by King Diamond released in 2002 and is plotwise a successor to the 1987 album Abigail. Abigail II: The Revenge is the first album to feature guitarist Mike Wead, drummer Matt Thompson, and the first to feature bassist Hal Patino since The Eye. The cover art was done by Travis Smith. According to the liner notes, the character of Brandon Henry is based on King's friend, Brandon J. Henry, who looks after King's house when he is on the road. The plot correlates with that of the original Abigail, and the listener discovers that she is actually the half-sister of O'Brian (the mysterious leader of the Black Horsemen from the original album), and is kept alive by his intervention (the Horsemen having originally planned to nail her into a coffin with silver spikes to prevent her emerging again). The year is 1863, and Abigail has just turned 18 years old.
