AccessibilityNot many bands can claim to be as influential as Mercyful Fate. As one of the early purveyors of true metal, the band's impact is felt far and wide; from the new wave of black metals' Cradle Of Filth and Dimmu Borgir to international metal gods Megadeth and Metallica.
Mercyful Fate's seminal self-titled debut was released in 1982. A mix of traditional heavy metal with unique, Satanic/occult lyrics, high-pitched screams, and intricate riffs, positioning them as pioneers of black metal. It was crucial for establishing their unique, occult-themed sound with iconic tracks "A Corpse Without A Soul", "Nuns Have No Fun", "Doomed By The Living Dead", and "Devil Eyes", influencing early black metal with King Diamond's distinctive vocals and Hank Shermann's riffs, bridging their earlier demos and later albums like 'Melissa'.
