House of God is the ninth studio album by Danish heavy metal band King Diamond, released on 20 June 2000.

("Upon the Cross") One night centuries later, a weary traveler becomes lost in the woods, in an area ominously called "The Devil's Hide", despite being familiar with the place.

("Follow the Wolf") The traveler enters the church, the titular House of God, in which everything starts to change from decrepitude to great opulence, full of food and drink.

One day, while he is with Angel in the confession booth, she breaks down in tears and tells him her dramatic fate: a year prior to meeting the traveler, Angel was contracted by supernatural forces to guard the church; she reverts into her wolf form any time she leaves the grounds of the church and can only take human form within the building.

The monotony of each day and the knowledge of being trapped for eternity unhinges him, and in his desperation he starts to destroy any mirror he can find around the church ("Just a Shadow", "Help!").

Hearing an unearthly roar, in horror, the traveler realizes that this is the body of Jesus Christ and flees back up into the church ("Catacomb").

They advise the traveler to simply "live [his] life the best [he] can, and leave the rest to [the Entities]", but after these revelations he loses his faith completely and denounces God.
