Any chance you ever listened to King Diamond? His best albums all unfold as a story. 'The Conspiracy' and 'Them' and 'Abigail' and 'The Eye'.
Most people dislike his high pitch voice but I like it and the stories are so cool. Mostly taking place in his childhood with his evil grandmother and corrupted family. Salem Witch Trials on 'The Eye' album.

Wow! No I don't know it! Oh my god man, the sound quality and close adherence to the album is stunning here. The Solos are just right!.......king sounds like this live? Hes perfect? How is this possible? 'Eye Of The Witch' is stunning.
Man, the story of Them was my favorite but The Conspiracy was my soundtrack to winter. It holds a place in my heart. I loved it dearly.
The Eye is so sinister sounding and King's voice makes all the difference in creating that atmosphere.
Even the album Voodoo and also Spiders Lullabye were quite good imo. I need to check him out again. Thanks for that link!

Yes indeed the album is so on point, sounds amazing, you can just crank and enjoy.
Didn't think there would be any other KD fans here ...

I dont want to derail here too much but I printed up folders containing a packet of lyrics for each album, decades ago, even my friends who didn't like KD or his vocals wanted to borrow the folders to read them.
I can't tell you how deeply imprinted 'The Conspiracy' album is inside of me. On winter walks at night it really comes back to me.
Yes, so cool to meet another KD fan here!
Because of this conversation Jules I'm enjoying a wonderful long drive listening to Them. The song 'Tea' is so cool.

I remember as an impressionable young teenager, when Mercyful Fate's infamous Corpse Without A Soul EP came out way back in '82, I wondered if there was something genuinely "occult" about those guys, LOL!!
