RE-CREATION

RE-CREATION IS THE NEW CONCEPT ALBUM FROM RIK KING. BASED LOOSELY ON THE "FRANKENSTEIN" STORY, IT IS THE STORY OF A YOUNG MUSICIAN WHO IS MADE FAMOUS ("CREATED") BY AN UNSCRUPULOUS MANAGER WHO TAKES THE YOUNG STAR TO THE HEIGHTS OF STARDOM WITH ONE CONDITION, HE MUST HAVE NO CONTACT WITH HIS FAMILY OR FRIENDS OR WITH THE PRESS AND MUST COMMIT HIMSELF TOTALLY TO HIS MUSIC.

AFTER INDULGING TO THE EXTREME IN SEX, DRUGS AND ROCK 'N' ROLL HE SUFFERS A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN AND DISAPPEARS FROM PUBLIC LIFE.

ISOLATED AND LONELY HE STUMBLES UPON A BAND OF GYPSIES AND MEETS A DANCING GIRL - ROSALIE - WITH WHOM HE SPENDS A NIGHT OF PASSION IN AN ORGY OF DRUGS AND DRINK. WHEN HE AWAKES HE DISCOVERS HER MURDERED BODY AND HAS NO RECOLLECTION OF WHAT HE HAS DONE. SILENTLY ESCAPING FROM THE GYPSY CAMP IT IS NOT LONG BEFORE THE OTHER GYPSIES FIND HER BROKEN BODY AND SET OFF IN PURSUIT AFTER THE TERRIFIED MAN. ELUDING HIS PURSUERS HE FALLS UNCONSCIOUS INTO A RIVER AND ON WAKING HAS LOST HIS MEMORY. HE LIVES ROUGH UNTIL ONE DAY HE FINDS A NEWSPAPER WHICH TELLS OF THE DEATH OF HIS FAMILY IN A HORRIBLE FIRE. THEN HE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING.

LOSING HIS MIND COMPLETELY AND BLAMING HIS MANAGER FOR ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED AND FOR TURNING HIM INTO A MONSTER, HE VOWS TO AVENGE HIS FAMILY'S DEATH BY DESTROYING EVERYTHING DEAR TO THE MANAGER - STARTING WITH HIS BUSINESS THEN HIS FAMILY AND FINALLY THE MANAGER HIMSELF.

LEAVING A LETTER FOR THE MANAGER TO TELL HIM WHERE HE CAN BE FOUND HE WAITS IN THE FROZEN NORTH FOR HIM AND THEIR INEVITABLE MUTUAL DESTRUCTION...
