So when can we expect <strong>King Diamond<\/strong>&#8216;s long awaited new album <em>The Institute<\/em> to come out? According to guitarist and songwriter <strong>Andy LaRocque<\/strong>, everything should be wrapped up in Spring 2025 and the album will be out before <strong>King Diamond<\/strong> does the European festival circuit in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are still working on it and as soon as we get back from tour we&#8217;re going to have a little Christmas break and then we&#8217;re going to pick it up again,&#8221; said <strong>LaRocque<\/strong>. &#8220;So the plan is to have everything done this spring. It will be released shortly after the European summer Festival tour and all that that&#8217;s the plan we have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>LaRocque<\/strong> also spoke pretty extensively on the new songs in the same interview. <strong>LaRocque<\/strong> said &#8220;Spider Lilly&#8221; was only completed a few days before the tour, and should be one of the singles for <em>The Institute<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That idea came up from <strong>King<\/strong>. I don&#8217;t know exactly when but he&#8217;s been working on it for quite a while. I think the lyrics for it got done just like a few days before the tour started actually. He sent me the basics of the song just a few days, like a week prior to the tour starting, I believe. So we had to learn it real fast, record it because we knew that we&#8217;re going to shoot it on video too. So it&#8217;s the newest song we have right now that we actually play live.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Spider Lily&#8217; is a mean girl who can also be good, we&#8217;ll see if it&#8217;s going to change a little bit. It&#8217;s a character part of the story that <strong>King<\/strong> is working on right now. It&#8217;s going to be released as a video single I don&#8217;t know when exactly. We also have other songs in the loop too, <strong>King<\/strong> has a lot of ideas and I have a lot of songs that&#8217;s kind of in the demo stage done or finished.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On &#8220;Electro Therapy&#8221;, <strong>LaRocque<\/strong> said that one&#8217;s been around for about five years now: &#8220;It&#8217;s been around for a couple of years actually. I think I wrote the intro riff back in 2019. There have been some changes back and forth especially on the verse, trying to find the right key for <strong>King<\/strong> to sing on and all that stuff. I think what we have now is probably the final version and it&#8217;s going to end up on the album too. <strong>King<\/strong> is still working on some fine tuning on the lyrics, you will hear that tonight. It&#8217;s like different [lyrical] versions every night.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"KING DIAMOND's Andy LaRocque &amp; Pontus Egberg Interview-Spider lily &amp; Electro Therapy &amp; Album Updates\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OUdVI-VqfFs?feature=oembed\" frameborder allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"King Diamond - Spider Lilly (Live San Antonio, Texas 2024) NEW SONG!!\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8PINyKnF2r4?feature=oembed\" frameborder allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"King Diamond - Electro Therapy (Live San Antonio, Texas 2024) NEW SONG!!\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jHKFy35nCY0?feature=oembed\" frameborder allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zox-post-body-wrap left zoxrel newsletter-grab\">\n<div class=\"zox-post-body left zoxrel zox100\"><strong>Want More Metal?
