absolute legends. I'd say that for me, King Diamond/Mercyful Fate is up there with Celtic Frost as my fave '80s metal. So influential, and King is a hell of a nice guy.
I finally got to see them last year. They played this. When it gets to that slow, heavy part not just hearing but feeling those notes rattling my bones was practically a religious experience. I felt pure joy and total bliss not wishing to be anywhere else on Earth for any reason in those moments.
I'm 11 years old sitting in my room, my mom is banging on the door, "Turn that devil music off" Can you imagine today, 11-year-olds are listening to Taylor Swift LOL!!
Cool reaction, this is one of my favorite Metal albums of all time, great skills from everyone there & super solid compositions imho, you now need to listen to the whole album...Cheers from France 🤘
A Dangerous Meeting was originally called Death Kiss on the demo. If you like the guitar sound of Hank Shermann and Michael Denner you should check out some of their other projects. Force Of Evil - Back To Hell and Denner/Shermann - Satan's Tomb and Son Of Satan. Force Of Evil had bass player Hal Patino who used to play with both Mercyful Fate and King Diamond and drummer Bjarne T. Holm who also are in Mercyful Fate. Denner/Shermann had Snowy Shaw ex-King Diamond on drums. Also check out Mercyful Fate - The Uninvited Guest
Def E standard. Man I love this song and Mercyful Fate/King Diamond so much!! Great video, I love to see people younger than me enjoying this eternal classic metal 🤘🎸
King Diamond's style is not pretty... but it's... HAUNTING. It's like a little unsettling, can´t explain, but it fits so well the songs from Mercyful Fate. It's like a wailing spirit or something. Love it.
Little known fact When Mercyful Fate completed recording this album they loaned their gear to a young up and coming band to record their second album. The album was Ride the Lightning, and the band was Metallica. Their gear had been stolen at the end of the Kill’em All For One tour
Oh my youngsters. Just wait till you get into King's solo stuff. It's like Merciful Fate polished to a mirror finish. BTW, your friend isn't driving a Mustang. He's in a 78 Cadillac Hearse.
la musica lo esta poseyendo y la letra lo hipnotizo .....pobre hombre debio saber a lo q se metia very soon will lost his weigth soon will lost his mind
Most metal bands back then used E Minor key because of the heaviness. In Major E metal would've sounded like pop punk and that's just something that I'm glad never happened.
