Order at: www.indiemerch.com/metalblader... Mercyful Fate's video for "Witches' Dance" from the 1994 album "Time". iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/artist/mer...
I saw Mercyful Fate in 1999, in Toronto, at the Reverb. They were touring the album 9, if I'm not wrong. Nevermore opened. Unreal. Fate did 2 sets. After the 1st set, I Called King over. He grabbed my hand , stared into my eyes, with his evil look. Didn't say a word. Got to shake hands with Hank Shermann, and Sharlee D'angelo, as well. Fucking incredible. One of the best shows I ever saw. Mercyful Fate and King Diamond solo are two of my favorite bands, since the mid-80's. Neither has put out anything I don't love. The KING rules!!
Diamond Banger for life!!! I saw THEM on that tour I took pics of MF and Nevermore. It was an awesome show. KING signed my cd booklets along with Mike Wead. Sharlee gave me his beer. I met Sharlee again a few years ago, stagehanding his other band. Got to hangout at the bar with him. Pretty kool dude.
I love it when people talk about how “scary” King Diamond is. Ironically, he’s one of the nicest and most hospitable metal musicians I’ve ever met. By far. Couldn’t ask for a nicer guy.
That’s exactly how people that I know that know him describe him. Very polite and kind . I will take him over some of these so called Christians any day.
Saw the king here in NYC a few months ago. Awesome show. He's so kind, signing autographs and high fiving the crowd. Can't get any better than that! :>
Is it me or is there something magical about King Diamond's falsetto? He sounds like a witch, makes a lot of sense. I dont see how people dont get his range
@@tabatabv8481 True, I like that analogy even better \m/. Some people hate his voice. I dont get it. He's a very theatrical sounding Metal singer. Very unique. His falsetto has this haunting, melodic quality to it while still sounding wicked and evil sounding
@@youreadopted3960 He sounded more like Halford on the early Mercyful Fate albums. Kings high notes are very, very clean with a lot of twang. His high notes are similar sounding to Rob's early Priest days. Apples and oranges tho. They both use very different techniques to get to the high notes
@@Headbanger9000 - well said, King Diamond's falsetto is unique. It has a special quality. Especially in songs like Sleepless Nights and Black Horsemen. Haunting and theatrical.
Mercyful Fate is a Rocking Danish Heavy Metal Band, formed in 1981 by Vocalist King Diamond and Guitarist Hank Sherman. Mercyful Fate were part of the first wave of Black Metal in the early to mid 1980's. The other members of the band are Sharlee D'Angelo(born Charles Peter Andreason) Bassist, Hank Shermann(born René Krolmark) Guitarist, Mike Wead(born Mikael Vikström) Musician & Studio Engineer & Keyboardist & Guitarist, and Bjarne T. Holm Drummer, Percussionist. They really rock and other metal bands have cited them as an influence for thrash metal and progressive metal. Rock out Mercyful Fate!! Mahtava laulua! Kiitos Markku! 🖤🤘🏻🖤🎸😎
King Diamond gets me so pumped! I will be driving down the road screaming along and completely rocking out. People looking over at me probably think I'm a lunatic.
+datNERO17 He says he's more of an atheist then a satanist. Which is my stance on religion. I don't believe in God so therefore I equally don't believe there is an entity named Satan. I think the world is what it is. If someone gets peace of mind going to church and praying and all that. Good for them. I'm good without doing all that.
+datNERO17 Nah, that's mostly all media and bs portrayal for movies. Most satanist just believe in doing what makes you happy. They aren't sacrificing babies or drinking blood. That's all bs. Like all groups or religions there are radicals. Like Westboro Baptist Church and then Islamic radicals. It's just not very exciting to talk about the more normal branches.
Most Satanists are non-theistic and do not believe in Satan nor any "higher powers" They believe in fairness and justice. Liberty. Civil rights. Mankind coexisting with positive ideals based upon practical logic. It's basically all the ideals America was founded on and fits our country better than any other religion, ha. We'd be much better off as a satanic country actually. Here are the 11 Satanic Rules of the Earth: (note: the wording is weird on some but you can infer the meanings lol read with open mind) 1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked. (Be kind) 2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them. (Stop whining) 3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there. (Give respect when due) 4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy. (Demand respect when deserved) 5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal. (DO NOT RAPE) 6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved. (Do not steal) 7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained. (Humility & Thankfulness. Offer credit to the universe to refrain from arrogance.) 8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself. (Dont complain if you did it to yourself and could have avoided it) 9. Do not harm little children. 10. Do not kill animals unless you are attacked or for your food. (Respect ALL life) 11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him. (Treat others as you wish to be treated!)
Been awhile, I remember being introduced to Mercyful at a pretty tender age by a young would be heavy metal guitarist, the impact they and their generation have on metal and danish culture in general is mind boggling to this day...

Just to let you all know King Diamond is almost about 60 and is still having a ball cranking out tunes till this day. He and his band mates have no interest in seeming hardcore. They just enjoy doing creepy opera goth metal! I'm just amazed they still got it after all these years! And who doesn't like a band that can take urban legends and ghost story things and make them into music.

Wow, there's alot of King Diamond haters on here. To each their own, but I personally am a huge fan of both King Diamond and Mercyful Fate. I love that their albums are concept albums, they are like heavy metal plays.
Lol I love KD, I bet a lot of these types were fans when they were younger and now that they’ve “grown up” they’re looking back and are feeling shameful so what better than to trash what you once loved and make it about the band and not about the fact that they are actually sad sad people.....pathetic if you ask me.
The more I listen to this song, the more I appreciate Shaw's drumming. It has a real swing to it that is lacking from most metal. It's almost jazzy in an odd way. Great song overall, one of their best from their 90's catalogue. Time on the whole is a very underrated Mercyful Fate album. The interplay between the band members is incredibly fluid, and there are many inspired tunes (e.g Nightmare By Thy Name, Time, The Afterlife, My Demon, The Lady In Black etc). No it wasn't as 'satanic' or 'evil' sounding as their 80's material, and perhaps it wasn't as 'magical' either, but it's an incredibly well written, played and performed album that has stood the test of time.
Back in 1999 my basketball team-mate ( Douglas ) lent me his Don´t Break The Oath album for a week and I was shocked by King´s multiple voices. Then I asked him: " Who is the lead singer? The old dude, the young dude, the kid, the witch or grandma?! Hahahaa...He just smiles and replied: " It´s an honor to introduce you to the King, King Diamond! "
A classic from one of the Kings of Metal gotta LOVE Mercyful Fate and King Diamond brings back my younger years and the Kings is stii going after all these years I love these guys
Absolutely love this song and video!!! PS has anyone noticed the similarity of Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth? Dave uses the same riff on the chorus
Managerus es musica y de la buena amo lo que hace king diamond yo tambien no entiendo que hay gente que no le guste pero bueno tengo que tolerar sus gustos mientras tanto pienso que los que escuchamos esto somos unos privilegiados me gustaria que venga a la argentina hace 25 años que escucho heavy metal y paso el tiempo y mas amo a este señor que me gustaria verlo en vivo ojala se de para los fana de aca..
bueno eso de musica "culta" es cuestion de debate porque para muchos amantes de la musica clasica que no les gusta el metal diran que esto es puro ruido, o a otros porque no les gusta la forma de cantar "afeminada" de kig diamond etc. Hay gustos para todo.
Una pena que no puedo ir hasta aya apenas yegaba con las entradas aca si venia en la argentina y que bajon que me agarro cuando me entere que no viene es lo que mas queria ver pero bueno que lo disfruten los hermanos chilenos aya hay mucho metal me imagino como estaran de contentos los que lo van a ver disfrutenlo!!!!
People are mentionning the bit reminiscent of Queen, but I can't help thinking of the movie "Manos": The Hands of Fate when I see King Diamond with that cape and the mean dog (KD would make a neat Master BTW) or those dancing women during the softer part.
Imagine me, from Brasil and discovered Sepultura ( classic formation ) only in 2017! Hahaha After seeing Cavalera Conspiracy Live at France Festival😅🤗🤗🤗
Although I love the band King Diamond a lot and hope to see them live someday, I think that I like Mercyful Fate just a bit better. So much dark content, each song original, the combo of Shermann and Denner, it's just hard to beat.

To all the people saying this sounds similar to Ghost. No, Ghost sounds similar to Mercyful Fate. Come on man
+Reckless Canuck I think the same thing. I'm a great Ghost fan and I thing they sound a lot like Blue Öyster Cult.
Both are AMAZING bands. But to me, they sound NOTHING alike. But Ghost take inspiration from the great Mercyful Fate
lol u r right ghost is nowhere near as pro a kd
Ghost - Absolution. Ghost - Ritual also sounds a bit like Symphony Of Destruction. :) All great music.
While Ghost is a modern breath of fresh air.....it's roots are Blue Oyster Cult....and I bet KD/MF. Great bands to call your daddy.
Sherman and Denner were two of greatest underrated guitar duos in all of 80s heavy metal. Those two albums were fruckin masterpieces.
EXACTO......
Agreed, Sherman and Denner are absolutely a top guitar duo. I can't think of a pair I like more in any other band.
I rember preferring to listen to Don't Break The Oath to Ride The Lightening when they were both new!
Absolutely!

such threatening falsetto

Do you find him "scary"? Lol!!!!!!!!
The dog just HAS to bark along to the singing. The falsetto wont be denied.
Time is an underrated masterpiece 🤘😎🤘🇮🇹👍
Nothing this dude touches ever gets old. He is a true master of songcrafting.

2:29?
Yep
First time listening to Mercyful Fate and King Diamond sounded nothing like I’d expected, this is awesome.
You're wrong if you say this is black metal
Try their early works,in fact disagreements over turning commercial is what caused their split afaik lmao
You don't know shit
Shocked to find out that this is from 1994, it seems more like it is from 1984.
It's a bit too cleanly produced to be from 1984, and they weren't as tight as players then, but I get your point. The style is defiantly old school.
The violin at 2:08 sounds like the Goosebumps theme song tune.
The more I listen to this song, the more I appreciate Shaw's drumming. It has a real swing to it that is lacking from most metal. It's almost jazzy in an odd way. Great song overall, one of their best from their 90's catalogue.
Time on the whole is a very underrated Mercyful Fate album. The interplay between the band members is incredibly fluid, and there are many inspired tunes (e.g Nightmare By Thy Name, Time, The Afterlife, My Demon, The Lady In Black etc). No it wasn't as 'satanic' or 'evil' sounding as their 80's material, and perhaps it wasn't as 'magical' either, but it's an incredibly well written, played and performed album that has stood the test of time.

bueno eso de musica "culta" es cuestion de debate porque para muchos amantes de la musica clasica que no les gusta el metal diran que esto es puro ruido, o a otros porque no les gusta la forma de cantar "afeminada" de kig diamond etc. Hay gustos para todo.
ISABEL NOEMI Rivero venga a chile en octubre amigo a ver al rey
Una pena que no puedo ir hasta aya apenas yegaba con las entradas aca si venia en la argentina y que bajon que me agarro cuando me entere que no viene es lo que mas queria ver pero bueno que lo disfruten los hermanos chilenos aya hay mucho metal me imagino como estaran de contentos los que lo van a ver disfrutenlo!!!!

King eres el mejor
I like this song

call me crazy but everytime I hear the intro to this song, makes me wanna scream, ''Let's dance!" in a witch's voice!
The best of the best! Greetings from Brasil!

Goosebumps.
Ki-Ki-King of Diamonds 💀🔥
Who is still jamming the shit out of this in 2020??
One word.
METAL
Hermoso ❤️
People are mentionning the bit reminiscent of Queen, but I can't help thinking of the movie "Manos": The Hands of Fate when I see King Diamond with that cape and the mean dog (KD would make a neat Master BTW) or those dancing women during the softer part.
How could I miss this.. in these 26 years of existence ?!
Imagine me, from Brasil and discovered Sepultura ( classic formation ) only in 2017! Hahaha
After seeing Cavalera Conspiracy Live at France Festival😅🤗🤗🤗
❤❤ these guys.
2021- song still plays in mine head
Sensacional, me tornei muito fã dessa banda 🤘🤟
Great song writing on all of these albums…. Timeless
Masterpiece
Although I love the band King Diamond a lot and hope to see them live someday, I think that I like Mercyful Fate just a bit better. So much dark content, each song original, the combo of Shermann and Denner, it's just hard to beat.
I saw Mercyful Fate live in august this year, it was awesome, King really is one of the best frontmans i've seen
2:24 min bohemian rhapsody is living here! 🤯
