MERCYFUL FATE

Release Year: 2023
Artist Origin: DEN
Style: frightening haunting infernal heavy metal

with Diamond and Shermann solely remaining from legendary era line-up, and newer band members adding up their own passion and creativity, the igniting music of satanic art servants has not lost its unique mesmerizing charm, and despite that heavy metal tradition following riffs got more predictable than during their heyday, the glorious ensemble has nonetheless granted its fans an aggressive and sturdy album in 1999 with a symbolic title, which remains so far their latest studio recording during all these long years, where ghostly vocals of King, dynamics of music and vibe of pure evil perfectly match the trademark old school sound, while gruesome, dramatic lyrics seep into the subconscious and enhance the visual storytelling effect; recent German blue-swirled yellow ochre vinyl edition with a pro-printed lyric insert and 60x60 cm sized poster is limited to 1000 units
