"Them" is an album by King Diamond released in 1988 on Roadrunner Records.

Untitled

It is part one of a two part series of concept albums about King and his mentally ill grandmother, the second of these being "Conspiracy". King falls into a harrowing descent to madness via his grandmother and the voices in the House of Amon, known to the listener only as "THEM". Metaphors such as tea parties and wheelchairs are presented, albeit disturbingly, to us through songs such as "The Invisible Guests" and "Tea". The album is widely considered one of the finest concept records in the genre of horror.
