Set in the summer of 1895, it centers on 27 year-old Jonathan La'Fey and his newlywed wife, 18 year-old Miriam Natias, who move into a dark and gloomy mansion that Jonathan has inherited. At the mansion's entrance, they meet seven ominous black horsemen who urge them to turn away from the mansion, or "18 will become 9." Jonathan ignores their strange warnings, and during the night he's visited by the ghost of his relative, Count de La'Fey. The Count shows Jonathan to a vault holding the sarcophagus of Abigail La'Fey, the stillborn illegitimate child of The Count's unfaithful wife, who both died 68 years previous. It's then revealed by The Count that Abigail's spirit has taken hold of Miriam's soul, and will soon be reborn unless he takes her life.

Added DiffLines:

** The album also largely revolves around number 9. It has 9 tracks, both parts of main couple have age divisible by 9 (Miriam is 18, while Jonathan is 27) and the main story takes place in 1845, which is also divisible by 9. And while the flashback year 1777 is not in itself divisible by 9, the full date, July 7th 1777 is: 7 + 7 + 1 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 36.


Added DiffLines:

* LongestSongGoesLast: "Black Horsemen". The second longest song, "Arrival", is more than two minutes shorter.

Just pointing to where the to-be-made page for the band would be (see here).


It was later followed up in 2002 with a sequel, ''Abigail [[NumberedSequels II]]: [[RevengeOfTheSequel The Revenge]]''. Not to be confused with the Japanese ThrashMetal band of the same name.
