    Denner and Shermann are one of the greatest guitar tandems ever. They compliment each other's playing and are right up there with Murray/Smith and Downing/Tipton. No Metalhead should go without having Melissa and Don't Break the Oath in their collections. I wanna say thank you to Hank and Michael for all the great music they've created together! I've been a fan since 1984 will continue following your careers

    It was the early 80s. I went to see Motorhead at the Warfield in San Francisco. Exciter was good. Standard issue metal. The next band to play blew me away. Mercyful Fate was nothing like that which I had listened to before. The quality of the musicianship did not seem to belong to metal at the time. I was at a loss to describe what I had heard. I found Melissa, the EP, and Don't Break the Oath in rapid succession. After that experience, most of metal no longer cut it for me. Mercyful Fate's albums survive the test of time.

    haha I love how Denner tries to imitate the vocals silently at the start of Gypsy. They are both geniuses. Probably most underrated guitar players in music

    Tears in my eyes boys, thanks so much! My 2 biggest guitar influences right here. Looking back at the 80's, I was in my teens when Melissa and Don't Break the Oath came out and needless to say they changed my musical interests forever. This guitar duo was the main reason I decided to start playing guitar and I can still vividly recall all those nights alone in the basement figuring out how to play some songs from both albums. The Oath was probably the very first song I learned all the way through and our band would jam that specific song relentlessly. It's such a treat to see Hank and Michael jamming on these classics again. Thank you so much guys!

Every time an old time rocker like me see these tatoos, we share good moments, and addresses. What music can do in your live is unbelievebel! Hail to Mercyful fate!

I turn 39 in 12 days just to let you know the impact your albums have had on me. Especially the first 3 (this includes the EP). Without you guys, there would have been absolutely no Metallica or Slayer... Or countless other bands who came later. Mercyful Fate is the BEST!!

    Adrian Smith and Dave Murray, Glenn Tipton and KK Downing, Hank Sherman and Michael Denner. Best guitar duo’s in the world. While it has been too difficult and expensive to find a Boss SP1, I have been able to duplicate the effect with a Q filter as I have a couple presets I made on my Line 6 HX Effects that get pretty close to the iconic tones of this duo. Some of my favorite songs to play on guitar. That midrange bite and searing solo sound. Of course the writing is stellar and what really makes the songs but the two of you had such great distinctive guitar sounds that set you both apart and easily recognizable.

    I've been a fan since 1984 when a college friend played Mellissa for me the first time. I was blown away by the quantity of amazing riffs packed into each song. I was used to hearing verse/chorus/bridge with maybe an intro or solo breakdown but you guys broke all the molds with such intricate songs. The solos on top of the riffs were so melodic and interesting. I bought Don't Break the Oath as soon as it came out and was in love from the first listen. The intro to Desecration of Souls is my favorite intro to any song ever. I can feel it in my bones every time I hear it. Thank you for all the awesome music!

  • @chrishorton78

    Hey Hank, hands down, Don't Break the Oath was the BEST, album, MF ever recorded (I still have my vinyl copy) & it was an honour, to meet both you, & King, backstage, in Montreal, in the 90's. Your material was some of the most enjoyable, that I played on guitar. May both the music & memories, of Don't Break the Oath, live forever, in our hearts & souls! Stay heavy & say hi to King for me !
