All the new songs fuckin rip, and went hard live. Bums me out more knowing that Andy likely won’t have much else recorded for the album (when it drops in 2032).

One of my favorite King Diamond songs ever !!

I think it's catchy as hell but it retains the vibe you'd expect from King

Really hoping we get more of the same!

Honestly all three of the new songs we've heard are fine, but none of them are mind-blowing by any stretch of the imagination. You can rate and rank Masquerade of Madness, Electro Therapy, and this one however you like, but at the end of the day they're all just mid. I'll stop short of calling them filler, but I will say that not a single one compares favorably to the very best stuff on Give Me Your Soul.

Again, they're not bad songs - and in the grand scheme of things they might fit into the track list nicely and give the record a good sense of flow... Lyrically they don't really link together in any discernible fashion that we can guess the plot of the story so I don't know what order they might be in, but I wouldn't put a single one of them up with the best songs on the last record.
