Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath (FULL ALBUM) 

Amazing guitars for sure. Great riffs. The vocals are a bit off putting to me though, but tolerable

@@FF-oo8nz it plays perfectly into the theme for me. I just imagine a vampire howling away in his castle or something

@@TheMightyChuRro to each his own mate

Simply amazing.. blown away first time I heard of them..

@@FF-oo8nz black metal was not yet made for posers in the 80's

Hank Sherman!

I was born 11/03/67! ... Were the last of the good ones ..

Yep, I was 17 when I bought it, saw them at L’Amour and the Beacon Theatre in NYC when they were touring for this album. Lemmy and Motörhead were complete douche bags for yanking the King offstage, as they knew it would not be easy to follow them, much like when Metallica opened for GnR, GnR knew they were in trouble.

RIGHT MY FRIEND!!

I got album (LP) on -87, still got it!

YES!!i m french..since twty olod

Yes. I remember the first time I saw it. I really couldn't comprehend it, but had to hear the music that went with it.

Fo sho sad that they don't have the recognition that they should have

True, although the perspective on the hand is a bit odd imo

Agreed. So fucking sick

Total CLASSIC!!!!!

AGREED.

Fuck Yeah!

Yes Sir.I don't remember, as a rule, a Danish group of Fu..ing level. And the record (Italian🇮🇹slang) is"Scary",Masterpiece"

F YA when i bought this i kinda locked myself in with headphones getting high iwaw just overwhelmed and still iam i don't have words for what kind g diamond an

Timmi " The Grabber " Hansen [ Rest In Power] ☝️☝️👍👍🤘🤘

Rest in peace. Valeu 😢

Rip Juan hector Rodriguez Pablo and Edgar and Jose

He died!?! I figured Satan would make him live forever! I mean… if you have the balls to worship the devil… I think you should live forever! Lol

Long live the King. Horns up

Excellent choice 👍

@@lbroolz I was 14 in 1984...Magical time for music!

I bought it in 99. I was 21.

me too ! (ol'timer lol)

Listening for my first time now at age 44

I saw King Diamond and crew at the small club called The Country Club in Reseda, CA.in '84 Merciful Fate tore that place up! Best metal band I've ever seen!! Take care!

Nothing… the best. Denner and Sherman are the best.

Except the unholy trinity of "S" albums from the 70s by the almighty Priest: Sad Wings Of Destiny, Sin After Sin and Stained Class!!!

I concur

Definitely. Been listening since mid-90s. Was born the year it was released

or after

In 83-84 it was even better

Great album but too bad it sounds like it was recorded underwater

@@queercommunist It's an analog recording. If you can't hear the classic roaring british amp. Definitely you're deaf. lol

@@Nutamago Many albums from that era sounds much cleaner than this. Maybe it is just a matter of taste

Man, production is the last thing on my mind when I listen to this. It's not so bad (not bad at all IMO) that you can't pick out the absolute WEALTH of musical detail and metal spirit on display.

Imagine if we remove KD's and Halford's vocals and listen only to instrumentals on MF's "Melissa" & "DBtO" and JP, from 1978 to 1982, I think there will be a genuine question who really are the "Gods of Metal"

@@volodymyroleksiv3162 🤔🤔🧐

No matter what kind of metal you play you should hear this imho

😂🤣

absolutely! don't break the oath, powerslave, ride the lightning, last in line, defenders of the faith, stay hungry, haunting the chapel, and that's just the classics that come right off the top of my head.

Agreed 84-85 was great for metal and in 85 came bonded by blood.

Bathory

My alltime favourite track of MF.

All intro riffs on this album are awesome

yes, exactly

I am listening to that now - holy F - so good!!!!

Best riff on that album for sure, although not without SERIOUS competition

It would only be deserted because anyone visiting would be impaled vlad. Get it together

Finally someone have something to say ABOUT the album. Kudos!

You must be dreaming. Never heard such teeny bop shite.

​@@MetalNeyth Great album with great songs. Great guitar work and guitar solos. Not one bad song off this great album. . A solid fuckin 10. . . Crank it up LOUD. Horns UP 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Bad ass Tattoo!...hmmmmm

@vic lagina420 me too

Was your first tattoo the cover of Melissa?

I'll made this tattoo in my left arm next week!

My second tattoo was on my right knee .it's a stick figure of a man with a big pecker.

It feels inspired by true otherworldly forces

There's no presents, not this christmas

I have my Combat cassette that I bought a bit later, back in 1988. I also have my Combat CD of it.

Mine too, with "Gypsy"my favorite song. Man, getting goosebumps!!

Yes, me too. The modern guys won't create something like that.

Enjoy life! Stay clean, por ti y los tuyos.

​@@PabloJ1968update: saw Dark Angel, Exciter, and Midnight in the last few months 🔥🔪🩸

Welcome home brother!

@Robert Lansing huh? 🤨 Did you miss out a word or something, because I can't make sense of what you're trying to say here? 🤔 Not meaning any offense, I know alot of people online take offense when misunderstood these days, just trying to understand what you mean? You've had this album since 1984 and never broken it maybe? 🤔 If so then good on you for being a kickass fan of classic Metal! 🤘 Long live Heavy Metal! 🤘

King's vocal Style is in top 5 Greatest Metal Vokills of ALL TIME. 🤘🤘🤘🤘💯

Anthony, You are correct about the Musicians being Top Notch. To Anyone who does not like King's vocals, all I can say to them is [ YOU DON'T KNOW GREAT VOCALS]

It's top 5 for me 🤘

Carl Jung’s shadow integration, we must accept our shadow in order to overcome

Don't break the oath.... just break the record instead. Hawkwind were doing this kind of stuff in the late 60's. Waiting for the vicious replies!!!!

Hawkwind is great. Im sure Mercyful Fate took some influence from the in some form but they are still different. Why not just listen to both?

LOL! Friggin awesome!

Van Halen never die

Lol I hate when that happens! I once got a copy of Entombed Left Hand Path that had a Johnny Cash album on it 😂 Oh well still pretty good

I discovered King Diamond the band way prior to Merciful Fate. It’s funny that I also thought of the Denner/MSG connection. I always said MF was like the king singing for MSG too lol.

I hope your grandson will come visit you soon, so you and your grandson would chill on the couch and listen to this masterpiece!)

🤣Thank you for making my day Mr. Searles😂

Jesus mows my lawn during the summer.

P

Yep. Those solo tradeoffs in the last minute or so are unparalleled imo. The solos in Judas Priest's Painkiller are a worthy contender.

Hell yeah! \m/,

You are insane, you are insane, you are insane 😀😀😀

Yeah thank Lemmy.

@@nbkawtgnobody Nice! Lennon is still bigger though! ;)

Thank Satan

Lmao!
