As with an Alice Cooper show, a King Diamond performance is a much about the theatrics as it is about the music. A Mansion in Darkness sees a lost lantern-bearing female wandering the stage, as long-time collaborator Andy LaRocque and guitar partner, Mike Wead, trade licks and build soaring sonic structures. Clutching his familiar crossed bones microphone, the King becomes both a narrator of macabre tales – a Lovecraft or Poe – and the central protagonist / antagonist. Halloween arrives early and bathes the stage in orange light and shadow; Voodooopens with the rhythms of the American southern bayou region and finds one of the actors entranced into a zombie by the enticing beats.
