Goddamn! His voice, the riffs, the song structure, going from heavy to soft and back. This song is amazing and they are fucking crushing it. Diamond AND Fate albums in 2023...I love this timeline !! New ozzy and priest coming too ^_^ METAL LIVES
Thanks for uploading. Sounds killer! Damn, this crowd sucks though. Got legends performing for the first time in 20+ years and they are talking and not interested.
@@PraiseofDeathFanzine No fist pumping, no head banging or even head nodding, it's like....daaamn. Even during the videos of other songs, I seen a few people doing stuff, but that was about it.
Sad to see the crowd reaction. All of this time & finally we are getting a new Mercyful fate album & they are playing live & the crowd response sucks, just sad. On a good note KING & the band sound BETTER than ever. I can not Believe King sounds even better now👍🔥🔥🔥
They did invite him back it was him that refused. What happened was that Denner/Shermann did an album called Masters of Evil and the cover looked similar to Don't Break The Oath it was even drawn by the same artist. King Diamond didn't like this so he threatened to sue them if they didn't stop using that image in future pressings of the album on their merch, so they were forced to reprint the album with a different cover. Michael really wasn't happy with this and when King called him to ask to jam out Michael said he wouldn't do it unless King apologized to him. King refused to apologize and That's why Michael isn't participating in this reunion.
It's definitely good, but "insanely good" is a bit much in my opinion. This sounds much more like the King Diamond band than Mercyful Fate. I'll never understand why Kim Ruzz was never contacted to do this (even he doesn't know why, he told me himself), and of course the David Gilmour of metal Michael Denner is such a crucial part of the MF vibe & sound. It's just disappointing.
@@deathmetalguitarcovers5724 lol, the MF sound *IS* Ruzz, Denner & Shermann. And even Timi Hansen (R.I.P.) to a degree.They had an extremely unique vibe & chemistry that hasn't been captured since DBTO. King & Hank with 3 other musicians is a great band for sure. But it sounds like the King Diamond band featuring Hank Shermann.
A friend of mine was there and he said that there were a few Mercyful Fate fans watching, that s the reason for this cold reaction at all...he left when Volbeat started to play obviously...by the way, Great return of the Legendary Mercyful Fate
Mercyful Fate is one of the the greatest metal bands ever! I would not be running my mouth while this band played. I would be listening in a metal haze! 🎸
I think that the correct name of the song is “The Jackl of Salzbourg”, in reference to the Salzbourg witch trials. By the way, pretty good song. Can’t wait for new MF music!
Jesus Christ that was HEAVY; evil!!! Welcome back Mercyful Fate you have been missed. This audience can go home they are obviously not in attendance to see mercyful fate. King needs to test this song in front of his actual audience. This song is amazing. I can't wait for the next MF album. Since 9 from 1999.
King Diamond please come to Tulsa, Oklahoma!!! I have been trying to reach out to you since the cancel of the T-town concert in 2019, Well anyway it has gave me alot of time to watch your concerts and listen to selected cuts from both bands. I cannot believe it has been over 20 years since you played with Mercyful Fate. Do I sense some band control from Hank Shermann? Tell that old bloat to chill out man!!! I love everything you have ever done King. Keep up the good work. Have you ever did a continuation of a subject twice? Besides Abigail, I would like to hear part 2 of Sending the Dead (I love the feel of that song) and it is an amazing topic on voodoo rituals. So many projekts, it's unreal!!! Your fans honor anything that you do, I hope that you know that and Mr. Shermann need to cool his jets. WTF? It's like a Richie Blackmore syndrome. FUCK 'EM ALL!!! You know? I love the costume but I think there is still plenty of room for the (Baron Semidi) personality. You need to put out an entire (white) allbum THE FATE OF NATIONS is a cool topic. The return of the KING!!!
Badassery in every way except the crowd! But explain the getup King I love it ! But new and I do so love your every look with face paint and epic outfits 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 From Sam Diego and hope they come here or close will be a dream come true! And I will scream until my voice goes out !!’ Thank you for the upload that’s epic !
Check out the Damned's 1994 live set "Molten Larger". On that album they're testing then-new songs for an audience who'd come to hear old classics. (Lead singer Dave Vanian even tells the crowd "We're using you as a guinea pig audience!")
I thought King said the new Mercyful Fate was going to finally sound like the classic albums of the 80s! This sounds like 90s MF or even Kings solo stuff
Been there for Volbeat never heard of MF before... MFs instrumentals were great - vocals were a pain to hear. And somehow the preband got louder sound mixing for the crowd than Volbeat!!!
I would have savored that moment for the rest of my life if I were in that crowd with a fucking lit candle!! Kings voice and outfit is by far the most metal and evil element to ever grace this earth! You can try to beat it, you will fail Miserably
For everyone judging the audience. Most of them are watching a band they are not familiar with. Most are there for Volbeat, who have a great respect for King and MF, but mostly play a a more conventional rock/metal format. Also it's a brand new, unfinished song from a band that hasn't played together live since '99 or 2000. MF sounded great but it's a new crowd and they probably won over some new fans ready to explore the influences of newer bands such as Volbeat. First show in 23 years. Future performances will be even better.
Holy shit they did not dissapoint with the new song damn i cant wait till this releases hopefully sooner now that this is neing bootlegged now will get a official release
First show I went to go see was Mercyful Fate for the Into the Unknown tour. This is good to see for a few reasons! Honestly, good track (I wanna hear a full album!!!). The only thing I can say toward the song is if they speed up the tempo during the chorus this would be amazing.
Awesome to see King back on stage. Cool song think it's about the Austrian witch trials of the 1670s a mother son and many orphaned and homeless were burned for heresy. Can't wait for a studio version release !
This song is not about a jackal. It's about the magician Jackl (Jakob Koller) who lived in the Salzburg area during the late 1600s. His mother Barbara Koller was a renderer and very poor. In 1675 she got caught when she and her son attempted so steal donations to the local church. Jakob, only ten years old at the time, managed to escape into the woods. Barbara Koller was accused of whichcraft and under torture she accused her son of practicing black magic too. Barbara Koller was executed by strangulation and her body was burnt at the stake. Her son Jakob never got caught but he became a legend as the magician Jackl. It was told that he was the leader of a gang of homeless kids and taught them black magic. Alot of poor boys from the area got accused of being members of the gang of the magician Jackl. They confessed under torture and got executed and burnt. 139 in total. That's what this song is about. The truth is that the authorities used the belief in witchcraft to legally get rid of the vast number of child beggars after the Thirty Years' War.
You have to respect anything Mercyful Fate doesn't the devil will get you.lol. Seriously though..even King said it's not finished. Enjoy what you get. I do after being a fan since Malissa.
it was a Voltbeat punk pop show and King only supported.. they were waiting for Voltbeat.. shame.. i'd have gone there for MF and walked out on Volt lol
It's just his King Diamond band sound using the Mercyful Fate logo. King is blind to what he thinks fans want from Mercyful Fate. Hank is too. We want material that SOUNDS like Doomed By The Living Dead,Into The Coven,Satan's Fall,The Oath. Not this.
Why on earth did they make their big return performance as an opening act for a band with such a different fanbase? King, come to cleveland again and see a real audience.
the new album is about transformation and a new age for the band. King literally becomes the Jackal in the new album. He isn't King's perspective anymore.
Imagine having the opportunity to see these guys play and to spend the whole time talking to the person next to you.
Mercyful fate reunites and announces a new song and most barely react. Wtf Germany...
Oh well, they were there just for Volbeat so...
Tranca cuando venga a chile nos volvemos locos, como el
Ultimo show de 1999 ! Que recuerdos ctm!!
No shit , what disrespect. It's been what 23 freaking years.
Volbeat fans
Announces a new song in a Volbeat show. No good idea.
Damn germans
King dedicated the song A corspe with soul for that crowd 🤣 no reactions!
the guitar solos didn't even get a head bob.. what the??
Goddamn! His voice, the riffs, the song structure, going from heavy to soft and back. This song is amazing and they are fucking crushing it. Diamond AND Fate albums in 2023...I love this timeline !! New ozzy and priest coming too ^_^ METAL LIVES
Agree awesome 👌 👌 👌
We also got Megadeth soon if your into thrash.
Sure excellent thanks 👌
Not forgetting Slipknot and Tomorrow Lamb of God have a huge announcement
Goddamn yo! Megadeth, slipknot, and Lamb too?? Fuck yeah baby!
Thanks for uploading. Sounds killer! Damn, this crowd sucks though. Got legends performing for the first time in 20+ years and they are talking and not interested.
Probably there for Volbeat.
Yeah, I'm so annoyed with the crowd, wtf, why were they even there?
@@PraiseofDeathFanzine No fist pumping, no head banging or even head nodding, it's like....daaamn. Even during the videos of other songs, I seen a few people doing stuff, but that was about it.

Yeah lame af crowd.
Sad to see the crowd reaction. All of this time & finally we are getting a new Mercyful fate album & they are playing live & the crowd response sucks, just sad. On a good note KING & the band sound BETTER than ever. I can not Believe King sounds even better now👍🔥🔥🔥
He sounds better than he did in his 20s it’s honestly insane
Couldn't agree more
So glad to see King back on stage and sounding so good !
This crowd is here for voltbeat… not real metal heads
This is a great song with classic MF changes -- but still damn them to hell for not inviting Michael Denner back...
riff wise i think he still got it but his solos sound lazy lately
its not really an Mercyful Fate without Denner and Sherman together this is more like a tribute or King Diamond solo
I am not sure what happen. A few years ago they were still friends and all.
They did invite him back it was him that refused. What happened was that Denner/Shermann did an album called Masters of Evil and the cover looked similar to Don't Break The Oath it was even drawn by the same artist. King Diamond didn't like this so he threatened to sue them if they didn't stop using that image in future pressings of the album on their merch, so they were forced to reprint the album with a different cover.

King refused to apologize and That's why Michael isn't participating in this reunion.
I agree Denner was a great melody writer.
Damn, can’t wait to hear that with a propose recording. Or in August when I go see them in Vegas. That song was kick ass!
Love those changes! Classic Mercyful!
This is insanely good.
It really is
It's definitely good, but "insanely good" is a bit much in my opinion. This sounds much more like the King Diamond band than Mercyful Fate.

@@paulfrehley7352 It's more like Demonica, which is Hank's writing. He wrote all the classics except for the Oath and come To The Sabbath. So it's MF.
What the h3k with the audience? 😹😹 If this performance took place here in Mexico city, all of us surely must have gone mosh up crazy!!! 🤘🤘🤘🎉🎉🎉
If they come to New York the audience here will rock the house! Not like those deadbeats in Germany!
Riffs insane King's voice creepy and awesome! Whole band badass!!!!!
It should be illegal for them to play in the daytime
Is not a new thing, Mercyful Fate did several of live in the daytime, look at the Dynamo Open Air of 1993 or the concert in Brazil in 1996.
Agreed, the darkness adds to their mystique.
The greatest band thanks for share this amazing song
A friend of mine was there and he said that there were a few Mercyful Fate fans watching, that s the reason for this cold reaction at all...he left when Volbeat started to play obviously...by the way, Great return of the Legendary Mercyful Fate
Mercyful Fate is one of the the greatest metal bands ever! I would not be running my mouth while this band played. I would be listening in a metal haze! 🎸
How does it make sense for Mercyful Fate to open for Volbeat? Volbeat can go play a bowling alley.
They opened? Wtf
@@deadhead6966 Yeah, Mercyful Fate is the support act. It's criminal.
Feels a little like something from The Eye… not a bad thing… can’t believe we are actually gonna get new Mercyful Fate after all this time.
Yes some from eyes's álbum
The eye? I think this remembers more middle later 2000's. Kd. Not a bad thing though.
@@raphsing agree too but King is Grest, Mr, Kim Peterson
@@OrKestrAlan always.. By the way kick ass new visuals
Don’t hold your breath. Still waiting on the institution after that just needed “finishing touches” 3 years ago
I think that the correct name of the song is “The Jackl of Salzbourg”, in reference to the Salzbourg witch trials. By the way, pretty good song. Can’t wait for new MF music!
Jesus Christ that was HEAVY; evil!!! Welcome back Mercyful Fate you have been missed. This audience can go home they are obviously not in attendance to see mercyful fate.

Super King super song amazing band 👌👍👋🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hail to the King…Grandma…Missy,Abigail,Melissa…they loved the new song😂
Awesome Song From Mercyful Fate.. That Crowd Is Dead!!
Corpses without souls !
Can't believe Joey Vera is playing with Merciful Fate
I thought that was him. I can't believe my eyes but I knew it was him in my heart.
DEAD AGAIN VIBES.... Awesome

Wow! Such a lively crowd.
Awesome the best yet
Awesomeness 💯🤘
Thanks for sharing it.
What's with this lame crowd? Talking while Mercyful Fate is on stage after 20 plus years. And a new song that sounds this amazing!
Been there for Volbeat never heard of MF before... MFs instrumentals were great - vocals were a pain to hear. And somehow the preband got louder sound mixing for the crowd than Volbeat!!!
I know. The audience reaction reminds me of the "jazz odyssey" scene from Spinal Tap...
Awesome
Pretty awesome song, I like it, very pure classic metal, epic and dark
HYPE!!!!!!!! I'm READYYYY
Ficou fantástica essa música!! 🖤🤘
Pqp.....que peso da porra essa nova musica do Mercyful fate!!!!
Muito loka...
Hype bem alto para o novo álbum!!!
Grazie per il video.non so se lo vado a vedere.
Awesome!!!
Thank you for sharing...it is amazing hail to the king 👑 id love to see them but doing US i doubt he brings it to Arkansas
I would have savored that moment for the rest of my life if I were in that crowd with a fucking lit candle!! Kings voice and outfit is by far the most metal and evil element to ever grace this earth!
You can try to beat it, you will fail

What is the German part he said in the beginning? I did not understand him after wir haben nicht zusammen gespielt

Thanks for sharing fucking killer hail to the king 🤘🔥🤘👿
Hell Yeah!Hail to the K
ing!
most of the lame audience are short-haired weekend rockers who probably think MF stole their gimmick from Ghost.
they were probably long haired in the 1990s lol
doom))) on , brother king !!!
Woooow
This is awesome. WTF is wrong with the crowd? Why did they even go to a concert if they're just going to chit chat through the entire song?
it was a Voltbeat punk pop show and King only supported.. they were waiting for Voltbeat.. shame.. i'd have gone there for MF and walked out on Volt lol
Sick
Getting some Bible Black vibes here 🤘
My living god
long live the king 👑
So fucking great
What lineup is that?
!!!!!! LLTK !!!!!!
Xose King!
Elden ring is a game. Not a lifestyle.
Muito louco!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘
Cant wait until the album song is good although i dont feel this is Mercyful Fate more a King Diamond solo or Mercyful Tribute as Denner missing
It shoud be against the law a MF show at DAYLIGHT
Great song, but that crowd is absolutely horrible. I will be seeing them in Las Vegas!
It's just his King Diamond band sound using the Mercyful Fate logo. King is blind to what he thinks fans want from Mercyful Fate. Hank is too. We want material that SOUNDS like Doomed By The Living Dead,Into The Coven,Satan's Fall,The Oath. Not this.

the crowd sucks but you know what else sucks? seeing good metal in the daylight lol
Check out The Salzburg Witch Trials on here for the true story about the "jackal".
Damien The Jackal Spinelli👍
The top back of peoples heads! Oh, well, could be worse
🦲🦳🦳🦳🦲🦲
USA 🇺🇸
Did anyone in the audience even go to see the band ,do they even know who the band is they are watching
it was probably one of them mix music festivals, and they paid to hear Sandman for 1000th time by Metallica and King was an after thought for them.
The crowd....wtf ....
Come to latin America the crowd is alive
Hell no. Stay in Europe.
Where is his hat? What's that on his head 😖
the new album is about transformation and a new age for the band. King literally becomes the Jackal in the new album. He isn't King's perspective anymore.
