MERCYFUL FATE

Release Year: 2020
Artist Origin: DEN
Style: mystical satanic heavy speed metal

first introduced in 1992, right before the reformation of legendary entity, this historical collection digs even deeper to find the genius essence of satanic heavy/speed metal phenomena - exceptional Danish band, before becoming what everybody perfectly knows and adores them for, have been putting a lot of effort to find their own authentic formula of heavy-weighted music, so even tracks that eventually have turned kult sound pretty much surprising and intricate on 1981's demo versions, especially when they are recorded live in studio with completely different lyrics or arrangements, while the contents feature Burning the Cross demo, Danger Zone demo and few rare sporadic numbers on top of that; recent German vinyl replica edition comes in hardcover gatefold digisleeve format on black polycarbonate disk with a lyric insert that folds out into a mini poster
