It would be too easy to pick a terrifying extreme metal album for Halloween. But there's much more to this day than just scaring people. This is a celebration for the macabre. Let us fully embrace what lies beyond the dark veil of the underworld! And what better way to do it than with Devil Doll's elegantly dark debut album, The Girl Who Was... Death. This Slovenian project led by the enigmatic Mr. Doctor lasted less than a decade, yet grand works were made in that time. On his debut album, based on the cult tv-series "The Prisoner", we can find some of the best classical instruments and choirs ever used alongside progressive rock. To top it all off, Mr. Doctor's unique vocal performance will send shivers down your spine as his thousand voices pierce your mind.
