All hail Mercuful Fate!!
King Diamond is the man.
@Nick StarkeyAnd you sound like a deaf man to me
@Nick Starkey I will.
@@spearhead6020 don't worry man this want to be rocker can fuck off we don't need a piece of shit likening the legend King Diamond anyways man 🤘✌☮🎶👍😀💜🖤
His vocals aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, for sure. But I think it’s time for tea with grandma and ”them”.
@@ANationalAcrobat the Them album is a fucking masterpiece but I don't want them to hear one song because they won't get it of course 🤘🎶☮👍😀🖤
King Diamond is the best, I don't care what anyone says.
The truth, our oath!
I always respected too the King is a real Satanist unlike all the other fakes in metal
Mee too.Abigail
FACTS!
tenes razon no te preocupes! Somos muchos que pensamos lo mismo.
Hank Shermann and Michael Denner were the true riffmasters. They were mates with Metallica during the Ride The Lightning sessions. You would notice their drummer Kim Ruzz has a big influence in Lars’ Ulrich drumming
A Dangerous Meeting -Mercyful Fate.
You must.
The gods demand it.
One of the scariest songs you will ever listen to.
@Brendan McGlinchey And Come to the Sabbath...and Nightmare...fuck it, the whole damn album! \m/
Sick song, it sends shivers down my spine.
Mercyful Fate easily could be considered the most satanic band of all times and they are ABOVE Mayhem, Gorgoroth, Emperor and all of those bands you mentioned. Actually they are one of the first bands, like Venom etc, who inspired first wave of Black Metal.
I wouldn't call them black metal pioneers so much as black metal influencers. There's not a single black metal song in their discography, but a lot of early black metal bands really liked them, and it shows in the music.
Daniel Lopez They’re definitely not pioneers of black metal unless you’re one of the ingrates who equates genres to lyrics rather than musical characteristics
@@imkridegga9431 yes you were right man.. Sorry, the term wasn't appropriate thanks.
@@dan_the_pathmaster7934 whatever haha
You need to know your history to judge Metcyful Fate and Venom.
Of course, Priest and Maiden pre-date them. But Mercyful Fate and Venom were the most metal bands going at this point.
Vin & Sori just don't know the history.
Oh and still patiently waiting for King Diamond ”Abigail” full album reaction/review. You should hear the full story and not just that one song...
These guys don´t know that every king Diamond and Mercy album are a history,they must hear all album, for that reason your comments SUCKS.Another thing they must know that KING DIAMOND is Baritone.
@@einarreynaudugarriza1385
I've been asking FULL ALBUM reactions/reviews, if that's what you're saying.
When the guy sings in Falsetto 80% of the time it doesn't matter if he's a baritone, bass or tenor. He's sounds like the missing member of Alvin & The Chipmunks. Period.
They don,t like Mercyful Fate, imho why would they figure out King Diamond ? Let alone No Present For Christmas, rofl !!!
I think they liked ”Abigail” (song).
I have all Mercyful Fate albums. I have all King Diamond albums
Dam, me too! Some even multiple times (vynil, tape and a CD)
do you want a medal for that?
Marry me
Me too.
Ah, i see you're a man of culture as well. But i do not have albums, i'm only 14, but for sure getting all of em when im older.
Satan's Fall is a fantastic song, but it honestly works better within the context of the album. It segues perfectly from Black Funeral, with the entire album building up to this epic storm of riffs. I can see how it would be off putting on first listen, without having heard the rest of the album. Give the whole album a listen or two and you'll see ;)
Take the date this was made into consideration. Bands didn't talk about this subject in this way back then, this was, along with Venom, the harshest thing out. Back then look what the Last Temptation Of Christ, the Exorcist did to religious groups, it was too much for them. Today we look back at how lame it was, but back then it was the most brutal stuff subject wise
It’s still brutal and hardly lame
Venom!
Sori: cartoon lyrics written by 6 year olds
Also Sori: whats an epigraph?
Well, they believe in fairy tales so on that basis they should be the target audience.
It makes me laugh when Christian’s get offended lol
DAMN, I CLICKED FAST. MORE MERCYFUL FATE PLEASE. KING DIAMOND RULES. MF WAS A HUGE INFLUENCE ON METALLICA.
Yeah. Metallica even rehearsed their ”Ride the Lightning” album materials at MF’s practice room in Copenhagen. King and Metallica are good friends way back from the 80’s. And of course he and Lars Ulrich are both Danish.
Metallica will never come close to King Diamond!!!
real science U got that right my friend
You’re absolutely right @real science and @Thomas Ackerly
So big that Metallica covered this song!
Totally disagree with Vin on the “collage of timing changes” being a mess.....I thought it was magnificently done in that department... a truly epic metal tune! Maybe it’ because they blow Metallica out of the water....some people can’t take that??
Shermann/Denner wipes the floor with Hetfield/Hammett any day, not to mention King over Hetfield. And the guys of Metallica knows it well.
@@thefourthwall3891 There's a reason Metallica idolized Mercyful Fate and King Diamond. Not saying one is better than the other but it's undeniable that they were inspired by these bands.
vin n his bitch THE FAKE CHRISTIANS HEY LETS BE EDGY LISTEN TO SATANIC MUSIC N MAKE MONEY ON RUclips OFF IDIOTS YEAH COOL!
Mercyful fate and king diamond are some the most respected bands in the metal circuit because they are so versatile and good at structuring songs, writing riffs etc. I know what Vin is going through though. He is obviously rather new to metal. It takes time to be able to hear every nuance of such a technical band.
Mercyful Fate has some of the best riffs in metal ... ever.
This is their first proper album, but their next album, "Don't Break The Oath" was a HUGE improvement.
For many of us who were teenagers back then, this stuff was legit SCARY. No other band was exploring this theme like Mercyful Fate back then. I pretty much liken it to a horror movie put to music.
Don't Break The Oath is the be all, end all. 1984. Even murders Powerslave. Definitely kills Ride The Lightening. You cannot fuck with Sherman/Denner & the King.
I like “Don’t Break The Oath” a lot, but “Melissa” for me is my favourite.
Mercyful Fate - Evil
Mercyful Fate - Corpse without a soul
I agree man those songs are fucking awesome man or they can do King Diamond Sleepless Nights to
good call on corpse without a soul, an epic song!
Corpse Without A Soul definitely. Or Nuns Have No Fun because thats a funny 1 lol. Angel Of Light from Time album would be good for later period Mercyful Fate.
I’d love to see their faces when hearing ”Nuns Have No Fun”. ”Time” is a great album and especially I love Snowy Shaw’s drumming and the atmosphere King puts up.
Yeah, Time is my favorite album of theirs next to Into The Unknown.
Shermann Denner the best Duo in metal
I wish they’ll get MF together for the one last album and tour that Hank has been talking for years...
Tomek Actually, under the name of Denner/ Sherman they have recently released an ep called Satan’s Tomb and a full length CD called Masters Of Evil. Both of which are highly recommended.
@@mushmouth789 i know i hear it but i expect something better i wait for the last MF album
You've got to do "A Dangerous Meeting". The first Mercyful Fate song I ever heard. Blew me away and is still one of my favorite metal songs of all time.
Not this song, but 'Into The Coven' was on the PMRC Filthy Fifteen list of songs. Venom's 'Possessed' was the other song on the list for being evil.
The best way to promote and sell records....
I always love the guitar work in Mercyful Fate...but prefer the music in Don't Break the Oath over Melissa.
Shermann/Denner were awesome together. I love both albums, but somehow prefer the production of Melissa over DBTO.
Sherman & Denner are up there with Tipton & Downing and Dave Murray & Adrian Smith.
Mercyful Fate, Venom, You have to do your homework on them and who much they are very underrated for people to realize they had a very big following like Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and so on and so on so I don't think that you realize or really care that the king is the real deal when it comes to anything that he puts out with mercyful Fate and as king diamond the only difference is his solo stuff is 🔥👌 you could make them Into a very great horror movies 😉
Witching Hour reaction!
@@Soup2Nuts there really not ready for that yet LoL
Mercyful fate underrated? Explain haha
@@loganwilliams4258 ok so when I got into them from nun's have no fun till this day they have not gotten the respect that is due to them the biggest reason people who heard anything about them is because of Metallica covering them as a awesome tribute to the bands that influenced them so yeah mercyful Fate has not gotten the respect they deserve
Melissa and Don’t Break the Oath albums by Mercyful Fate were frightening as hell when they came out back in the early 80’s. Vin is right, it sounds cartoonish now, but back then there was nothing else like it.
SELL OUT
I was 11 when this album came out and I fell in love with it. The christian's satanic panic was in full force and this album really helped me thru it.
You get No Presents For Christmas!
I'm christian and mercyful fate is one of my favorite bands. I even saw king diamond live a few months ago. He's super smart too
Ahhhhh, one of the best songs ever written, thank you guys. Yes the lyrics are cheesy and what have you but those riffs are mesmerazing. Kind Diamond is such a great story teller too, you should check out the Melissa Trilogy ("Melissa" from the album Melissa 1983, "Come To The Sabbath" from Don't Break The Oath, 1984 and "Is That You, Melissa?" from In The Shadows, 1995), one of the greatest love stories ever, Shakespeare worthy.
I agree. It's not the lyrics but the awesome "evil" riffs and outstanding solos that makes this a classic. KD is more for all of "THEM", who love good (horror) stories --> go and vote "King Diamond - Abigail [full album]" on website. Yeah, I hope they'll get to Melissa Trilogy.
@@ANationalAcrobat Done, I'll try to vote daily but my god that list is huge!!!! I usually vote on the Underground Pole, it was weird not to see it there but it was weirder to see that Elvis Presltley, Bill Haley and New Kids On The Block are on that poll!! I hope this gets enough votes soon...
@@olubcs44
Nice! Yes, I know and so many songs that have already been reacted to. I put it on Main Stage, because I felt so. WTF New Kids On The Block!? Really.. 😀
Wow, you finally get to this! Gotta love those evil riffs played by Hank Shermann and Michael Denner.
You should try to interview King Diamond, it would make such an interesting video. Stay heavy! 🤘
Yeah. I totally think King Diamond would be open to an interview.
Get on it, Vin and Sori!
For sure he would. He did Skype sessions with fans few years ago. Such a nice guy.
@Swiatek702
That’s awesome!
@Swiatek702 I love the old interview King talking with a priest (I think) trying to demonize him. King keeps cool and knows exactly what to say.
@Swiatek702
Yes, I think it was. Hopefully Vin & Sori will eventually get to King, either an interview with him or an album reaction/review. Or both. King has many great stories of his haunted apartments, all of those would make nice a discussion too.
I love King Diamond's trademark bipolar vocal style so much.
It showcases beautifully on Gypsy.
Bipolar ?
You are a bona fide MOOK !
Mercyful Fate - Melissa
Or even better trilogy of Melissa/Come to the Sabbath/Is That You, Melissa.
I think they've done Melissa in a previous video
@Spearhead I don’t think so. They’ve done so far ”Egypt” and ”The Oath”. And ”Abigail” by KD.
@@ANationalAcrobat My fault, it was Abigail :)
@Spearhead No problem 😀 Great stuff.
Wow, one of the biggest heavy metal anthems of all time. "Just what a 9 year old would write". Among the best riffs and melodies ever, guitar solos that pierce right thru your soul... Well, maybe give it another try, this one is a grower! The satanism thing is just to make it more edgy and ambient. But some of those riffs are really "evil" and inspired almost everything that came after..
75% of a new metal album ? Try 100.000%... And Michael Denner / Hank Shermann are as good as Kirk Hammett / Dave Mustaine.
Its interesting to see one of my favorite songs ever (Ive been listening to music for almost 25 years, including all types of rock, jazz, classical/baroque/romantic, etc) receive a 4 and solid 6 !!! ; )... But hey, everybody's entitled to an opinion. But trust me, this one is a grower, you gotta hear it more times and wait for it to soak in..
Couldn’t agree more. I’d love to see a 9 year old who writes such a bad ass songs. Shermann/Denner is a match made in heaven (or hell); Hank is responsible for those iconic, evil riffs and Michael’s melodic, piercing solos makes the great atmosphere, and of course King himself. I never get tired of listening to this one or the Melissa album. Actually, there isn’t such a thing as a bad KD or MF album.
Michael Denner and Hank Shermann were right up there with Adrian Smith and Dave Murray of Iron Maiden and KK and Glenn of Judas Priest as well as Dave Mustaine and Kirk Hammett. You need to listen to Come To The Sabbath by Mercyful Fate and Desecration Of Souls
Don't Break The Oath just might be the best metal album of all time. Just sayin'.
@@ANationalAcrobat I think he was just talking about the lyrics (i.e. they are cartoonish and juvenile).
I always respected too the King is a real Satanist unlike all the other fakes in metal
Yay! More Merciful Fate. Keep doing anything with King Diamond. You'll recognize this if you listen to Metallica's Garage Inc. I really don't think you'll ever understand his vocal style. To be honest it took me a couple years to really appreciate it back in the 80's. Btw, King Diamond is a satanist.
No, King isnt a satanist....99% of that kinda shit is just a gimmick.
@@totengott6599 just going by interviews he gave back in the 80's. If he's changed his tune since then that's news to me.
@@TheCooke2001 I think I saw him say it in Sam Dunns documentary thing, that he isnt now and really wasnt then.
@@totengott6599 you learn something new everyday. I haven't kept up with KD since the early 90's.
He is not a theistic satanist.
Good reaction!
This is probably the first progressive metal song. A lots of tempo changes, fast parts, slow parts, lots of solos and various technical stuff. This is like the Tarkus of Heavy Metal.
And King Diamons is a cool singer imho.
React to Candlemass - Darkness in Paradise.
Please!
You are fucking crazy giving this a 4 and a 6, seriously. This came out in 1983, when Heavy metal was just starting to evolve... Theatrical acting from the voice of uncle King Diamond, edgy, melodic and atmospherical riffs (It seemed like a moment that I was listening to a Black Metal band.. The influences are PRETTY strong for the extreme metal of the nineties right there 2:09, 3:10, 3:52, 5:06 ), lots of tempo changes with an outstanding rhytmic section having in count the year it was released.
Most of the time I don´t care about lyrics. I´m listening to music, not reading a book (well, in the case of King Diamond, most of the time he develops entire histories, being conceptual albums). I´m judging the musicianship, not the artist beliefs. Anyway, they aren´t satanic. It´s just a theme that fits their musical approach very well, I should say.
I can´t believe it, really. Where is your musical taste? You dig Iron Maiden and you don´t dig this one? 19 years old I have. I never couldn´t experience the musical movement yet I could join this new world because of the amazing tool of information internet is, and what a journey. Expecting to be in love with all this stuff the rest of my entire life. How metal is misunderstood these days...
I don´t write this because I felt my likes atacked by no means, but I consider that in order to judge objectively a piece of art, the cultural context that surrounds it must be known before making any preconceived statements.
"Keep the metal faith alive!"
This review makes me confident in disregarding all their other reviews.
Sori is not wrong about the feeling of the song, MF and King Diamond use horror themed lyrics, and it's usually pretty campy. Back in the day, I'm sure this stuff scared the fuck outta people, as did most metal.
Agreed. If you can't handle a little "camp", metal is the wrong genre for you: the goofiness in spite of the deadpan seriousness of acts like King Diamond, Venom, Manowar, Running Wild, and so on, is part of the genre's charm.
@Pietyr Ayday Word!
@@pietrayday9915 It would be so awsome to see them reacting to Manowar, right now I can see the look on their faces when listening to "Hail and Kill".
Having heard this when it was new back in the day I can tell you it most certainly scared the shit out of people.
Quotes from famous musician and High ranking Church of Satan member and very close friend to Anton LaVey - King Diamond "Satanism is about the Powers of the Unknown. I have had hundreds of strange supernatural experiences with the occult, the other side, the beyond, whatever you want to call it that proves there is a spiritual world that can cross over into our world. Satanism is a life philosophy so within it you can have your own religion, any religion you want. Or take from various religions or your own whatever makes you happy. I have my own beliefs and Religiously Satan on a spiritual level stands for the Powers of Darkness, the Powers of the Unknown which are always all around us at all times. This is the best way to talk about these Spirits and Powers. Not a god or a devil as both of them are christian god's and that has nothing to do with Satanism. Of course there are different types of satanism. And I never wear gold as that is not healthy for you!
Must need something bad and use that during ritual then you might be able to get help from these powers I believe are all around us. But that is only if they like you. I do not believe in the two christians beings god or the Devil, I believe in the Powers of the Unknown, Powers of Darkness, The Powers of the Occult what ever name you want to use. . I have done Satanic Rituals and have seen and heard spirits.
Some people like to call "Them" God or the Devil or whatever, but I do not believe there is all one good and one all bad power. I believe there are many, many different Spirits and Powers that exist and that they are not good or evil, like humans they have both inside of them and I always treat them with the highest amount of respect and feel that respect returned by Them. It is massive mutual respect. Not Power, but Powers, Big difference. I believe we are one and the same me and these Unknown Forces. You really have to respect them for the incredible power they have. I believe they come to those who they feel can handle it and who will be faithful believers." In the song "Welcome Princess of Hell" you hear me singing to these spirits and powers and they sing back to me. They came to me to let me know they are here for me on my journey and that they are behind me and that they wish me good luck so I see them as my protectors almost like guardian angels. We all live several lives so that our powers/souls can grow in order to reach a higher plane and join with something greater. Our powers live in a human shell several times that will enable us to go on to a new life form a higher plane of being or join one day with a larger greater force. But 99 percent of the population live by the Satanic Philosophy whether they know it or not. As Anton LaVey even told me that Satanism is simply a life philosophy and NOT a religion. Satanism is basically Humanism. Satanism is based on logic and things that are proven which is why it could never be a religion as religion is based on things that cannot be proven.
And that’s why I say that these powers of darkness are always welcome in my home. It’s as if the powers of the unknown came and said ‘Hey, we will stay with you and help you.’ That’s what I feel.”
Personally I do not use electrical lighting at home and on my Satanic Altar or in the studio when I record vocals, only black candles as electrical lighting drives away the spirits and I love having them near me. People who see Satanism from the Christian view point are not treating these powers with respect and that is very dangerous. I once actually summoned a spirit in order to prove they are real to a girl who doubted and Satan came. My wife will not look in our mirror in fear something will come out.
In Satanism you are your own God. LaVey felt and I agree that we are all individuals born with different needs and views and so he felt everyone should make up their own mind about what to believe in spiritually if anything at all which is why he left a huge void in the Satanic Bible when it came to spirituality or any kind of religious beliefs and so within the Satanic Philosophy a person can still be a Christian if that fulfills their spiritual needs. Satan also means the Opposite, Inverted, Reversed which is why we wear the Satanic crosses and pentagrams. Satan means the opposite of religion. Satanism is living out your feelings and instincts without feeling it is a sin, enjoy yourself while you are here now while you can and have your own individual beliefs. One thing I consider almost mandatory though is believing there are powers around us. And you can use these powers to help yourself or those you care about. Or throw these powers at people in a negative way. I am not religious at all but you can say I am spiritual due to my experiences and beliefs. The Satanic bible is not really a bible because a bible is for religion so it should be called a book of philosophy instead. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
When people see the word ‘Satan’ they see only negative. Satan is not only bad, to me. It represents both sides of everything. I don’t believe in the Christian devil.
“Christianity has both God and the devil. I believe there is neither of these two. I believe in the powers of the unknown, which I have experienced many times. I know that rituals work. I don’t do them often because you can easily misuse them. They will get back at you if you don’t respect them. Rituals can channel the forces that surround us all the time but I respect the powers and will not abuse them in any way. The Satanic Bible is 70 percent Philosophy and 30 percent magic. Satan is the power of the universe. Satan to me is the Powers of Darkness, not a man with horns. Some people think Satanism is what the Christian church portrays it to be. If you are as bad and as evil as you can be and you think that’s Satanism then you have become part of the Christian religion. That is Christian Satanism which is not what I am about at all.
"Craniums high on stakes!" I can't believe you guys reviewed this song! I sometimes sing or whistle this song around the house when I'm doing chores. Thanks for the review. Yes, the lyrics are dated, but it was quite scary when we were kids in the 80's. His other band King Diamond albums used to scare me when I was in junior high especially "Them" "Conspiracy" and "The Eye". My friend Zak Nolan who was the original drummer for the band GOATWHORE gave me his walkman when we were kids in school on the school bus and said, "Listen to this." It was King Diamond's album "Them". It scared the crap out of me, but I also loved it and got hooked. King Diamond and Mercyful fate are amazing. I agree the transitions weren't as seamless or smooth. I'm a bigger fan of King Diamond (band) than Mercyful Fate. I got to see Mercyful live in New Orleans in the late 1990's. Great live show! I got to talk to and take a picture with their bassist at the time Sharlee D'angelo who is now the bassist for ARCH ENEMY. Really sweet guy. Still hoping that you will review THE FACELESS. Patreon member here. Hope you both are doing well and the kids of course! Best wishes always \m/
From Wiki: "King Diamond follows LaVeyan Satanism, which he does not see as a religion, but a philosophy by which he lived even before reading Anton LaVey's The Satanic Bible. Michael Moynihan calls him 'one of the only performers of the '80s Satanic Metal who was more than just a poseur using a devilish image for shock value'. King has expressed concern that religion has led so many people to kill and destroy each other. He stated that he cannot comprehend why religion has caused so much death and destruction when it is logically impossible to prove the presence or absence of any deity. He states that he has reached a point in his life where he has completely given up believing in anything religious."
LaVeyan "Satanism" is poseurism, though. It's a misnomer, and kinda lame. Might as well just call yourself a libertarian or libertine.
If you think about it, the LaVeyan Satanism philosophy is basically "You are your own God" which most of the world already lives by anyway.

It seems King is the only person in Metal who is serious about his Satanic beliefs and practices
@@robertpreston2220 He's not serious about it anymore.
Epic progressive first wave black metal. This was state of the art metal at the time ... and stands the test of time. Classic.
They don't understand what great musicianship is in how this album is a masterpiece and is very conceptual! Lyrically and museum ship is a genius! She lost me when she says that a bunch of nine-year-olds got together!
This is one of the best songs ever written
Great face melting solos. Amazing musicianship. And I got to see him perform it live as an encore in the early 90’s.
Can y’all do Beherit, what’s the one with Megiddo 🤔
it’s called Solomon’s gate by Beherit, maybe you’ve done it 🤷♀️great channel BTW ♥️
You guys are great! One of MERCYFUL FATE'S creepiest lyrics are on At The Sound Of The Demon Bell. I won't tell you what it's about, but you'll definitely see a darker direction in the lyrics.
Love this one. Thanks Vin and Sori! All the best to you guys. Baby is almost here!!
Haha. Vin goes ham into in right from the get go. Then shit got real when KD sings “Bringing the blood of a newborn child”.
Bless y’all \m/
Mercyful Fate - BLACK FUNERAL
That's a good song
She was a victim of my coven...
This song's a grower, trust me. On first listen, even I thought it was disjointed but everywhere I would see and read, there was only love for it. A few more listens and this is a top 10 Fate song to me now. It's scary - and maybe slightly campy - but King executes the vocals and tells the story flawlessly. His falsettos may not be for everyone but they have such a haunting melody to them. If may be not this, you guys can try out The Old Oak from the album In the Shadows - really progressive song but tighter overall and with better production.
Please do King Diamond “Sleepless Nights” or “Welcome Home”
Sleepless nights!!! \m/ yesssss.
By the way, a good friend of mine got King Diamond endorsed by PreSonus (music equipment company) (my friend worked at Presonus for many years) and personally made cables/cords for him and Andy LaRocque and also had Andy LaRocque do a guitar solo on his album (Excommunicated - The Skeleton Key album on the song "Christ's Sword"). He's had long conversations with King Diamond (Kim) and said he's a real stand up guy, so is Andy. So if you ever want an interview, I have a contact who could reach out to him.
Awesome. Let it be done!
OMG! I've been requesting this since day 1. Haven't even watched it yet. I just way stoked! \m/\m/
I really laughing so hard i have tears in my eyes. Mercyful Fate is one of my favorite bands since 1987. I am atheist so i dot'n have god or satan. You guys are brave if you are true believers and listen this song. 🙂 But hey, your faces tell everything. 😅
Beginning of this song is part of Metallica's 'Mercyful Fate' medley
Yes, and actually it covers (parts of) three other songs from this album: ”Curse of the Pharaohs”, ”Into the Coven” and ”Evil”.
You'll love Metallica's Mercyful Fate, greatest cover band ever!
@@azdownhill I'm a Metallica fan through and through but that cover is seriously one of the best I've heard because they bring so many elements into it!!
@@ANationalAcrobat Isn't there Corpse Without Soul, too?
@Le Baub Games
Yes, but it’s from Mercyful Fate’s self titled EP and I was only talking of ”Melissa” album.
This!... Now THIS is some CLASSIC "EVIL" SHIT! LOL
Mercyful Fate - Come to the Sabbath/ Evil / MELISSA!
Amazing band. Saw these guys on Halloween night in the 80’s at the Metro in Chicago. It’s was an amazing show.
A masterpiece of timing & riff changes from 1983. Venom were first in 81/82 & when Mercyful Fate came along it was the most satanic & excellent band, the Melissa record is a 10 & “nu metal” doesn’t even get a 1 compared to this band at their peak (‘82-‘84).
Mercyful Fate - Curse of the Pharoah's
You guys should react to Devil Eyes, Evil or Nuns Have No Fun if you ever do any more Fate...
shaitanlavey thats the original shit, definitely 100%.
shaitanlavey devil eyes might be the funkiest metal song ever, love that song
I didn't expect you two to like this much, but it's still my favorite song, 30+ years running.
Sori is absolutely right, i used to feel I was so cool because I listened to THE KING! And others were just too scared to liste to his lyrics!
King Diamond, the frontman for Mercyful Fate, is a Satanist. Granted, an atheistic satanist, not a theistic satanist.
I've watched many interviews with King Diamond and he is a very cool guy. Still waiting for the Pantera-Avoid the Light reaction.
So many different tempos in this song, a masterpiece, saw them at L’Amour 1984 and Beacon Theatre 1985.
Just saw them in Brooklyn in november. First time for me it was awesome. Second time for my dad since he went to the 84 show at lamour. Rock on 🤘
I must admit I grew up listening to Merciful Fate. Do something from Slayer's first album.
Fuck yea!!! Someone should review slayers first album and haunting the chapel
As well as the heavily Mercyful Fate-influenced Hell Awaits.
I love Show No Mercy, but it is total Maiden/Priest worship. Hell Awaits is where Slayer cane into their own (Maybe Haunting The Chapel). But i love Crionics, Tormenter, Black Magic & Evil Has No Boundaries.
Black Magic or Die By The Sword.
Classic early evil sounding thrash.
You grew up listening to Mercyful Fate, yet you don't know how to spell its name
Thank you!
Great job
King diamond one of the most underrate singers of all time when there was a lot of supposed black metal or satanic metal posers out there he was the real deal and his music just got better story Albums like THE EYE OF THE WITCH is one of his best and I highly recommend it Vin you would have a Field day talking about it please listen to it it is very historical accurate about the horrors the Catholic Church did to people during the French Inquisition
I love this song and this band! Don”t break the oath is my fave from them!
Oh guys, didn't you like them before? This song is a great example where Metallica learned their songwriting skills and the influence goes up until Death and Black Metal of late 80s and early 90s. And the campy horror lyrics aside, King Diamond was an actual scapegoat of the satanic hysteria at the time, as he's been on TV admitting to be an actual practitioner and stuff. You sure find some snippets on RUclips, if you don't mind doing some research.
EPICA-KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!!!! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT
AWESOME SONG, but actually still wish it could have been A Dangerous Meeting, instead, because it has a message behind it, too. But still an awesome choice!!!
I was actually 14 when this came out :)
PA: Maybe if you could ever do a call in show about Villagers that did grow up in this time to call in? :)
Torture (1629) would be good as well.
MY DYING BRIDE - YOUR RIVER
One of the best song's ever
A Classic tune I can't say I agree and give it a 10 + .
Novembers Doom - Autumn Reflection
Over 405.
King Diamond-At the graves. A truly epic song to listen to.
Its about time!!!!!
You should read Nergal's thoughts on this song and how it completely blew his mind back in the day.
burning the cross!!!!
and "is that you,melissa!!!
Oh yeah, Burning the Cross is a cool one.
I actually appreciate you're review. I still love this. Fate is a love of not love. I've seen ever concert by Fate and Diamond since 1984 in Denver Colorado. Except 1 when he cancelled a show due to back problems. BTW, one of Metallica favorite bands. It stems from Lars I'm guessing due to the fact King and Lars are both from Denmark. King jammed with Metallica often. Sorry for the ramble guys. Peace \m/
Full album: Edge Of Eternity - Crimson. It's basically one full song (although split into 8 parts for purchase/ skipping) and meant to be listened to in one play through. Oh, and it's epic btw
Also, please can you do Entombed - Left Hand Path. Going to keep requesting until you guys give in :)
King diamond full albums, graveyard, The Puppet Master, voodoo, House of God, Abigail...etc
you won't understand everyones love for KD unless you hear the full story.
So true and to really finish a story of Abigail you need to hear Abigail II: The Revengeand too. The same goes with "Them" - its story isn't over until Conspiracy.
Haven't watched this yet...but...HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mercyful Fate is my favorite band \m/
if you dig king diamond mercyful fate (or not) you can check out the bands portrait and attic, which are among a plethora of bands that keep that style alive today
Hail to King Diamond and glory be given to Mercyful fate.
We Dont break the Oath.
Stay heavy.
Get out posers
merciful fate and king diamond are awesome , they have influenced so many bands
King is an acquired taste...some songs I think he is awesome and others the high pitch can be too much...The Bell Witch is by far my favorite Mercyful Fate song tho
A good album to start exploring King’s music is ”Puppet Master”. He uses his falsetto quite sparingly in it...
Hell yeah. Bell Witch is also one of my all time favorite songs \m/
It takes A LOT of listens to appreciate the Fate & King Diamond, pretty much due to that falsetto.
But once you do, you realize how amazing Melissa & Don't Break The Oath are. Those duo guitar harmonies are first class. Fatal Portrait & Abigail are masterpieces as well.
Back in Tennessee, I saw a family haunted by an entity
King Diamond has THE quintessential metal vocal style.
Without Mercyful Fate ~ Metallica would not be as huge as they are...the influence is massive 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Arch Enemy - We Will Rise + Fields of Desolation (LIVE Tyrants of the Rising Sun 2008)
I am so glad you guys reviewed this epic song. Sori is just adorable and Vin ,you know what Heavy is.
MERCYFUL FATE - CURSE OF THE PHARAOHS. WAYYY BETTER SONG.
Agreed - I can't think of too many Mercyful Fate songs that are bad, and "Satan's Fall" isn't one of them, but it wasn't one of the highlights of their long career either. "Curse of the Pharaohs", on the other hand, is one of the better 'Fate songs.
Best metal band with king diamond... hail the king \m/
You look worried, as if you unknowingly opened the door and let something in.
Give the Metallica cover Mercyful Fate Medley a spin......
For the love of god yes! :) It takes this song and 2 others and makes then ten times more epic.
I’m confused.
I get the impression that Vin was big into Metallica in the late 90s / early 2000s.
How can he possibly be ignorant of their mid to late 90s output?
King Diamond is a genius. Each album he puts out is a book and each song is a chapter of that book. Pretty unique and not many bands do that.
Cool thx I love this song !!!! I'm old enough to have listened to this when it was fresh when I was in high school🤙🤙🤟🤟 honestly back then I never paid attention to the lyrics but it had people shaking in their boots I just liked the music
Kim ruzz sounds like a click track he's soo good
One of the best songs ever. This album is an art work. The oath is the other great Mercyful fate's songs. You have to reborn to understand a Song like This.
Mercyful Fate rules!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice! More Merciful Fate and King Diamond 🤘🏻 and Helloween ☆ Keeper of the seven keys 🎃
Great Mercyful Fate song!!
Heavy metal rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you ! Anything King Diamond or Mercyful Fate, but I do agree he is an acquired taste, definitely not for everyone.
I discovered King Diamond and Merciful Fate as teenager, in the mid/late-80s. I was attending Catholic school. It was my way of rebelling and an escape from all the indoctrination.So you all can imagine the reaction and and the consequences given the times. Eighteen years of Catholic Indoc. was ENOUGH!
Awesome review and discussion.. However please may I ask you two to review more AMON AMARTH it has been far too long now since your last reaction: Under The Northern Star, Father Of The Wolf, Guardians Of Asgard, Thousand Years Of Oppression, Death In Fire, One Thousand Burning Arrows, Blood Eagle, Runes To My Memory, The Pursuit Of Vikings, Tattered Banners And Bloody Flags, A Beast Am I, Raise Your Horns 🤘🏻 🤘🏻
Michael Denner and Hank Shermann were right up there with Adrian Smith and Dave Murray of Iron Maiden and KK and Glenn of Judas Priest as well as Dave Mustaine and Kirk Hammett. You need to listen to Come To The Sabbath by Mercyful Fate and Desecration Of Souls
Facts.
Rush: 2112
here we have superB Thrash Metal: Coroner - Son Of Lilith ✔✔✔😁
