His solo masterwork. Beautifully captures the horrific story, has riffs for days, otherworldly vocals from King.

The intro gives me chills. So let's vote!

I think "Black Horsemen" is perhaps my favorite King song ever. Every moment of it perfect. The acoustic/electric blend, King's melody, the sheer number of doors it goes through.

I kept hearing the end of it in my head.

Tough one. I actually prefer both Them and Conspiracy (by a nose) but this one is also a stone cold classic. Torn between "Arrival," "Black Horsemen," and the title track. Will listen again before voting, it's been a few years

Mansion in Darkness!

It's amazing that he can still pull this off.

keep forgetting Denner played on this. very restrained style for him to play in compared to MF.

I think the harmonized guitar leads throughout this album are better than they were on any other KD album.

also King's vocals on "Omens", the chorus notes are stratospheric even for him!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Oh so hard to choose. It comes down to Arrival v. Black Horsemen for me although the whole album is near perfection.

Well, metal is the most maligned genre, what with all the fascists and nazis and all
