The sixth studio album by Danish heavy metal band King Diamond, released on 6 June 1995. Guitarist Andy LaRocque said it was the most difficult King Diamond album to record because "we had a new band [and] we had a totally new environment recording in the U.S., with a totally different producer."

The album is kept in the same style as the early works of the group. The vocals are, as always, high-pitched and unstoppable, the guitar has become less prominent, even very rarely, but this gap is compensated by the beautiful keys. The music on the album is much heavier than on the earlier works and, in general, "The Spider's Lullabye" is the heaviest King Diamond album. If you are looking for a heavy harmony of sound, then NOBODY offers it better than the DIAMOND KING!
