Excellent job! Very creative. I have always though King should sell the rights and make this story into a movie. The instrumental composition and depth of the story is so well done, of course King Diamonds voice brings this album to life.
I forgot Mikkey played with King Diamond. He doesnt get recognicion enough. The bands he has played with and the band he plays with now. Good guy also. Met him in Gothenburg a few times when i worked at Rockbaren in the 90's.
any guitarist that's been in King diamonds band deserves respect and should be recognised 🤘the best guitar playing I've ever heard!! the most talented band ever 🤘no other band comes close!!! hail to the king 🤘
been listening to King Diamond since the Merciful Fate Days, And I have said many time he should make movies out of his stories. he is a great writer would love to have seen him explore it in film.
Metal and horror, my favorite music genre and one of my favorite fictional narrative genres in one video; couldn't have asked for anything more. Great video and great story-- very chilling tale (and the music was a perfect match for the dark omnious mood of the story). It would be fantastic to see more videos like this. Anyway, great video! STAY HEAVY!
I have been a Mercyful Fate/King Diamond fan since the mid-80's. This is a really well put together Abigail documentary. All of King Diamond's albums should have this treatment.
@@RuthlessMetalYT Many thanks for considering it !!! Congratulations, amazing work !!! I really enjoyed this video !!! Thanks again for your job !!! Send you a big hug from Mexico City !!!
I'm with everyone else. This should be a movie, covered by the Kings music. And every time something terrible is about to happen, the chorus in the background ever so lightly does the "oooh ah ooooh" from abigail. Then you know oh shit, its gonna happen....
@@RuthlessMetalYT I know who King Diamond is, I have all of his records. I just want to know how much historical truth is behind this narrative. So no, I’m not trolling, just asking a simple general question to the public. I’d like to research it.
Man it would make my millennium if they did something with the albums like they did for The Puppet Master. When King sat down and told the story of the puppet master and all the puppets it was a kickass experience. If they did that with the other albums I would probably ride that high for years
@@RuthlessMetalYT it's the album that began my naming method for my guitars. I named my beautiful red BC Rich Warlock (solid neck) after "Victoria" and if I ever have a daughter or something I'll name her Victoria too. Credit to King Diamond n all it's members \m/
I have been in a King Diamond/Mercyful Fate, having gotten in the mood to do so after watching Metal School's video on the bands a couple of days ago. LITERALLY the last album I had listened to before watching this video was, you guessed it, Abigail. Fucking love this album! Great video. Would love to see more some of King's other discography.
Yes, this took forever to compile. :D Unfortunately the video has less views than my regular videos so I'm not sure if I will make more of them. Cheers!
I wonder if you would ever consider possibly creating one for “Out from the Asylum” would be great to see personifications of the spirits that inhabited Amnon. It was a skit, I realize, but it was a downright creepy one, which was intended I guess.

A very innovative concept that help metal enthusiast to understand better this kind of classic releases! Congrats buddy! Cheers from the belly of the whole America continent!
This story could be adapted to be played with the Dungeons and Dragons rpg Ravenloft setting complete with an audio cd/dvd and box set with King Diamond's approval of course.
Nicely done. I remember more than 10 years ago I was in a King Diamond/Mercyful Fate social media group (back when I had Facebook) and a guy wrote that he was to attempt creating a mini movie about Abigail. If the creator of this video is the same guy then DAMN...not bad. Interesting to see that you used the house AMON (from the album THEM) as Count LaFey's mansion..
Yeah, I needed an image of a mansion and I thought it fit since it also was a KD album. ;) Thanks, and no that wasn't me, I've only been making vids for a year. :) Cheers!
Jädrar det här var bra! Om du ska göra mer av dessa så rekommenderar jag starkt att du kollar in Cult of Luna's "Eternal Kingdom" skiva och storyn bandet byggde upp kring skivan. Det är helt underbart!
I saw the Abigail tour. About 250 people were there. 20 or so had dressed up. My first name is Jonathan. It was thee weirdest thing to hear KD sing / screech my name over the amplification.
@@RuthlessMetalYT Ive been listening Abigail since the 80's and never took the time to get the story together, so i really liked this vídeo! 😜 It would be fuckin' great if you do the Them /Conspiracy and even The Eye. But i believe it must be hard to make this videos! 🍺🤘🇵🇹
@@RuthlessMetalYT Ive been sharing this one. For me its perhaps one of your best videos, in my oppinion. Can you believe during decades i thought the story ended well for Jonathan and Myriam? lool I care more for the music, but King is a fuckin' genious! 🍺🤘🇵🇹
Out of laziness, and because this album didn't impress me at the time since I definitely prefered Fatal Portrait, I never even tried to understand the story... Thanks for telling it to me; now I'll give the album another shot since you ranked it among the best...
I bought that album in the late 1980s. The lyrics were not on the album liner, and there was no Internet. So the story remained a bit of a hit and miss.
I had a feeling the Abigail story would confuse me if I tried to listen to the album and follow along. Hell, I’m even confused by the condensed version of this story you told in this video!
@@RuthlessMetalYT I think the give me your soul.....please album would be a much darker story I mean in the lyrics of give me your soul In comes Daddy He's in a rage Screaming and yelling He's not very nice Cold as ice, an axe in his hand Oh no, looks like he's going insane Pictures in red Pictures in red Would be very cool in an animated video
Wasn't expecting this to end up in my feed but .... Wow. Awesome content and very well done. King Diamond never got the recognition he/they deserved.
I agree, I mean he is huge but they should be the biggest band on earth. hehe Cheers!
He has PLENTY of recognition
Excellent job! Very creative. I have always though King should sell the rights and make this story into a movie. The instrumental composition and depth of the story is so well done, of course King Diamonds voice brings this album to life.
Thank you! Cheers!
I actually did hear about King Diamond himself was planning on making a movie about Abigail recently...
I forgot Mikkey played with King Diamond. He doesnt get recognicion enough. The bands he has played with and the band he plays with now. Good guy also. Met him in Gothenburg a few times when i worked at Rockbaren in the 90's.
Yes, definitely one of the best drummers out there. I've only seen him once, while drumming for E-Type haha
Shit last time I saw him he was playing with Scorpions
@@DSchea yeah he has played with a few great bands. :D
any guitarist that's been in King diamonds band deserves respect and should be recognised 🤘the best guitar playing I've ever heard!! the most talented band ever 🤘no other band comes close!!! hail to the king 🤘
Matt is a great drummer, and Mikkey has buyer's remorse.
I know that I would.
been listening to King Diamond since the Merciful Fate Days, And I have said many time he should make movies out of his stories. he is a great writer would love to have seen him explore it in film.
I agree! Cheerios!
king diamond + rob zombie = the best unwritten horror movies ever.
Geez I was obsessed with this album back in the day. Great story telling my dude.
thanks man, I did one on Fatal Portrait too. ;) Cheers!
Just using the lyrics... Still cool, but I hoped for an artistic interpretation. No slight overall. I enjoyed it too.
Yes, Them & Conspiracy please !!
Metal and horror, my favorite music genre and one of my favorite fictional narrative genres in one video; couldn't have asked for anything more. Great video and great story-- very chilling tale (and the music was a perfect match for the dark omnious mood of the story). It would be fantastic to see more videos like this. Anyway, great video! STAY HEAVY!
Thank you, yeah I took some extra time with this one to put in all the details and sound effects. Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
I have been a Mercyful Fate/King Diamond fan since the mid-80's. This is a really well put together Abigail documentary. All of King Diamond's albums should have this treatment.
cheers
This was great. Really gave life to the album. Thanks.
Thank you! Skål!
As I've said before each song by King Diamond is a macabre chapter in an amazing terror trip! King is the best horror writer inthis era!
Cheers!
Wow, a brilliant idea! Will you do the same for some other concept albums?
We'll see, this one took forever to compile. If a lot of people watch it and like it I might. :D
@@RuthlessMetalYT Many thanks for considering it !!! Congratulations, amazing work !!! I really enjoyed this video !!! Thanks again for your job !!! Send you a big hug from Mexico City !!!
@@cuervonoronista4629 Thanks, glad you liked it, Cheers!
Make crimson idol
Like all Kingdom concepts !!
This is a timeless 80s heavy metal masterpiece that stands the test of time.
Cheers!
I'm with everyone else. This should be a movie, covered by the Kings music. And every time something terrible is about to happen, the chorus in the background ever so lightly does the "oooh ah ooooh" from abigail. Then you know oh shit, its gonna happen....
cheers
That was great 🤘🤘🤘
ALL HAIL THE KING 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks, Skål!
I love it!! This is a very dark tale. I’m
wondering if this was based a true narrative🎶🤘🏾🎵🤘🏾
never heard the album or are you trolling? ;)
@@RuthlessMetalYT I know who King Diamond is, I have all of his records. I just want to know how much historical truth is behind this narrative. So no, I’m not trolling, just asking a simple general question to the public. I’d like to research it.
Nah, I don't t think there is any truths to this. ;)
@@RuthlessMetalYT that’s good to know, however, it’s damn interesting👍👍
this was amazing, thank you! you really captured the eerie and mysterious nature of the album.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
Love this album
🤘
Great work, brother! Thank's a lot! Abigail my favourite King Diamond album🤘
Thanks boss, same here. Cheers!

Let's see, this took forever to put together. :D
@@RuthlessMetalYT I think it turned out great very nice work gonna share it around
The spirits of Amnon are requesting you to try and rescue Missy from her undeserved fate👻
I love your album rankings,,, and your Voice is wonderful for telling these dark tales....
Please do Puppet Master and Conspiracy !!
I might, it just took forever to do this video. I'm burned out. haha
This is the closet thing to a Netflix show that I would watch for this story
hehe Cheers!
I might be late, R.I.P 🙏🏼 🪦 Anne Rice.

I love this album and remember the lyrics well. I got a kick out of watching this. Thank you, cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
Incredible. I never comment on videos, but I just had to say this was great.
Thank you I did one for Fatal Portrait too and I will perhaps do more in the future even if nobody watched this video haha. Cheers!
Great Work!
Thanks so Much 🔥🤘🔥
Thank you!
Thx for this offering bud !!!
Glad you liked it! Cheers!
pretty nice job.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share it
thank you!
That is why King Diamond is the King
Yes Sir
A very cool idea! Hope to see more.
Thank you!

:) Cheers!
This is actually a chilling story
Hell yeah 🤘
🤘🏼
🤘🏼
This needs to be made into a movie!!!
I agree!
Awesome
🤘🤘
Thanks for the video. But, no thanks for the coffee that I spat out of my mouth when I first heard your voice say, "We are gathered here...".☕
I hope that was good? haha 🤘
You are the MAN my friend!
thank you!
I'm sure this was a lot of work but it paid off. Great job man! I hope there will be some more like these in the future :)

Awesome 👍👍
Thanks boss!
Brilliant!
Thanks! Cheers!
Well done, great job on it. I know it took some time to do, but..... You must follow up with Them!
We'll see, this was much work and not that many people viewed it unfortunately. :D
That was awesome!!!
thanks boss! Cheers!
Very well spoken!

Nice story telling 👍💯
Thank you, in a week or so I'm about to release this video with the music instead of my narration.
My 12 year old tuxedo cat is you guessed it, ABIGAIL
scary. ;)
Well done, man! What a cool idea. I'll echo the "Do THEM next" sentiment.
Thanks boss, Cheers!
Abigail is the best metal album. Thanks a lot for this job
I agree, it's amazing. maybe the best metal album of all time. Cheers!
Awesome, just awesome.
That is all; I have no criticism.
Stay Heavy. \m/
Thank you Sir!

jag är inte så förtjust i modern metal så de blir nog mer av king diamond spåret om jag gör fler koncept stories. :) Skål!
This is so cool!!! Great job.
Thank you! 🤘
Very well done 🤘👑💎
Thank you!
Great video. Thank you. Hollywood could do a movie bassed on King Diamond's work. 🤘🏻🤪
That would be something, wasn't there a horror film called Abigail some time back? 🤘
@@RuthlessMetalYT I don't know.
Great job! I loved this video.
Thank you!
Excellent video 👏👏🤘⚡
Thank you!
You literally did a hell of a job here. Satanic regards! 🤘🏾

thanks, Cheers!
Amazing.
I just made Fatal Portrait too. ;) Cheers!
@@RuthlessMetalYT i have seen it great work mate, please do the Them and Conspiracy stories. 🤟
Well done mate
Thanks, Cheers!
You should make version of this video with the actual music and songs.
it's copyrighted so it might not work.
Great job man! Going to go spin Abigail now!
Thank you, good idea! ;)
🤘awesome King DiamonD n' history🤘
Cheers!
Just like your 'live' rendition, this however, is so dramatic w/ erie elements. Well done, once again!! ;)
Any proposals for Mercyful Fate?
thanks. Cheers!
Wow! This is awesome 🤘
Thanks 🤘
Cool idea.

You just earned a new sub
Thanks boss! :) welcome!
Genius

Great lullaby! You forgot that he was obsessed with an strange idea, he wanted to mummified the girl for the future to find, and he did!
Yeah I changed a few lines here and there to make it sound more like a story and less like a song. 🤘
Yeah that was the one important part that guy left out.
Cool. Make Them/Conspiracy !
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🇵🇹🤘
We'll see, this took so much work but nobody watched the video. haha Cheers!

M whole life I've had to use my imagination and here it finally is
hehe, thanks!
Im impressed

Out of laziness, and because this album didn't impress me at the time since I definitely prefered Fatal Portrait, I never even tried to understand the story... Thanks for telling it to me; now I'll give the album another shot since you ranked it among the best...
Ah, I think Abigail is even better than Fatal Portrait. Fatal Portrait might just be the best album of the 80's. It's remarkable.
I bought that album in the late 1980s. The lyrics were not on the album liner, and there was no Internet. So the story remained a bit of a hit and miss.
good stuff!
Great 🤘 love this style 🤘
Thank you! 🤘
The mansion reminds me of the house of Amon on the album Them
yes it's that mansion. ;)
I had a feeling the Abigail story would confuse me if I tried to listen to the album and follow along. Hell, I’m even confused by the condensed version of this story you told in this video!
Yeah it's not easy putting a full story into an album. the story of fatal portrait is less focused than this so it was a work in progress.
Great job, man! This was pretty creative! I never understood what 18 was meant to be 9 meant. Do you know what it means?
I think it has something to do with satanism, it's also the name of a Mercyful Fate album. :)
Cool!
This could be a great lyric video, just put the original music on it and match the timing.
Give the King a call, maybe he's in for it ;-)
hehe, if you have his number. ;) Cheers!
I always thought Abigail should have been made into a movie.
me too, let's hope it happens. :) Cheers!

Screaming and yelling
He's not very nice
Cold as ice, an axe in his hand
Oh no, looks like he's going insane
Pictures in red

don't know if I will make any more of these. they kinda flopped. :D I did Fatal Portrait however.
