Give Me Your Soul…Please is a concept album by King Diamond released on June 26, 2007. The album’s concept and cover art are both based on a painting titled “My Mother’s Eyes.” The black cat featured in the album is based on King’s own cat, Magic.

In the July/August issue of UK metal magazine Zero Tolerance, King elaborated on the themes of the album, being a story of two dead children, murdered by their father, relating their tale to him. He stated that cases of parents killing their children and then themselves were a large influence, citing such an incident which occurred in Dallas four days before the interview took place. Coincidentally, the music video for: Give Me Your Soul was also released the day after the highly publicized Chris Benoit double murder and suicide.
