“Spider Lilly” is the first single and video taken from King Diamond’s forthcoming new Horror Trilogy, of which part one is titled Saint Lucifer’s Hospital 1920. It’s also a first-time mixing collaboration with Arthur Rizk, who also mastered “Spider Lilly”.

The band’s lineup continues with King Diamond handling lead and backing vocalsm plus playing the Hammond Organ, Andy La Rocque and Mike Wead on guitars, Pontus Egberg on the bass, and Matt Thompson on drums. There is also a special guest appearance by Danish vocalist Myrkur.

Part of the new “Spider Lilly” video was filmed at Pennhurst Asylum outside of Philadelphia on a travel day during the band’s recent North American tour, just two days before Halloween. King and actress Jodi Cachia participated, together with producer David Brodsky, Allie Woest, and their crew.

King Diamond says:

What a dark but great experience. Hopefully that was not the last video we will be able to film there.
