Great reaction. You should listen to the whole Don’t Break The Oath album, one of the greatest metal records of all time.
facts
discazo
The greatest of all time.
You should listen to it on LSD
@@notofthisgod32 I have. Many times in the 80's. LOL
Mercyful Fate was a huge influence on Dave Mustaine and Metallica.
and on Slayer ! Hell Awaits is very influenced by mercyful fate
Wait but didn't Metallica get together in 81' and Mercyful Fate in 83'??? So do u mean an influence on them as a whole or on like certain songs an stuff. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.
too bad metallica sold out and became pussys after the mid 80s
@@PRHILL9696 yes I admit that but their music to me is amazing. Each to their own tho
@@franciscoperez2744 Mercyful Fate released 4 demos in 1981, and their self-titled E.P. (dubbed "Nuns Have No Fun") in 1982. Metallica didn't release their first demo until 1982.
Can't believe you did this song. Such a creepy song. Everything about this song is creepy. Love the opening, love the guitars. When I first heard this song in 1984 these vocals were the scariest vocals Ive ever heard. This was long before death metal vocal became popular. In my opinion these vocals are more evil than death metal vocals.
Love the guitar work in this band. Michael Denner and Hank Sherman are such an underrated guitar duo.
I agree! Creepy!! Fear!
Nailed it...Mercyful Fate is a foundational band for all extreme and thrash metal. King was the big death/black metal subject influence and the guitar work of Denner/Sherman still sounds great today. The production on this album was also great.
Creepy lol Check out Wasp KFD The Horror, the video that has the mask of Micheal Myers. You take a deep look into the mind of Blacky Lawless.
@@ChicagoTRS Not to mention Timi Hansen and Kim Ruzz one of the most skilled, inventive and bad-ass bass and drum pair in the history of metal!
@Chadner Yep, Timi & Kim's playing is outstanding, & you can hear the bass too! lol Great basslines & tight drumming, like in Gypsy for instance. The drumming may not be highly complex in the song, but it's really tasteful & precise, fits the song like a glove.
After leaving Mercyful Fate, King Diamond stopped writing "pure" satanic lyrics and concentrated on telling horror stories with his band King Diamond. 🤘🏽
King*
Correct! King, sorry autocorrect is a biatch! 😂
Except House of God album.
Yeah Halloween is coming and i'd like to see the spiders lullaby story. Last 4 tracks on that album. And the whole Graveyard album reaction. I'm kinda like King's character in The Graveyard lol. I know they'll never do whole album reviews on King Diamond but maybe some more songs.
I beg to differ, i think he went the other way. Sure mercyful fate loved the pageantry of satanism, with songs like come to the sabbath, into the coven, etc., but king diamonds spooky album concepts are dripping with LaVeyan satanic philosophy, he just doesn't put horns on it, if you will.
Songs like pictures in red, or anything off that album, are talking about how two children murdered by their father are haunting the singer because the afterlife had a clerical error and listed one child as a suicide, damning his soul, unless the other child can convince the singer to give up his own. That's classic laveyan anti child abuse, plus classic laveyan thought on how flawed and arbitrary god's heirarchy seems(the "why does god let bad things happen to good people" argument, basically").
In Abigail, again, the soul of a stillborn child possesses a pregnant newlywed for it's chance at life after it was desecrated due to christian fear the stillborn(born 7/07/1777) was the antichrist.
Mercyful Fate is a highly influential band for me. It's one of the bands that inspired me to play music. I still keep the Don't Break The Oath and Melissa albums in my larger mix of random music.
Melissa is the absolute best I have a framed vinyl copy I got signed by the band back in my wild days
This album has been a treasure in my metal collection for the past 25 years. Mercyful Fate rules.
You dont actually have to worship Satan to love Mercyful fate musically they are very tight and Kings vocals are incredible .
Mercyful Fate - A Dangerous Meeting
*Vin headbanging to sick riff* Lyrics start *Stops suddenly*
Hahahahaha
I always find that funny, but it just highlights how important lyrics are for you. For me? I'd have just kept right on headbanging :D
Well, they're christians. The King is not.
Lol. "oh...this is a love song to Satan?" Haha. hopefully they're as amused as most of us we're who listened to this stuff when it came out. Anyone taking lyrical content of metal music seriously has deeper issues than the song writers or any "message" it's trying to send. With Metal, especially stuff very good musically and technically, it's all about the music. Lyrics are just there to give the singers something to mouth melody too. That's why we don't listen to Bach for the lyrics. Get it?
❤👑💎
Mr. Diamond is the truth.
Long live the KING!!
The roots of Black Metal is usually traced back to Venom's first two, Mercyful Fate's first EP, Bathory's first, and then a bit later you get Hellhammer (Satanic Rites/Triumph of Death), Celtic Frost (Morbid Tales/Emperors Return), Slayer - but left the black metal elements behind after their first - (Show No Mercy), Sodom (In the Sign of Evil). Then you have bands like Sarcofago and Beherit who turned up the noise factor and started War Metal, but that's a story for another day.
Black Metal didn't really take on the typical Black Metal sound until you get to the second wave at the later end of the 80's/early 90's. The first wave was mostly bands pulling ideals from Thrash Metal(Sodom, Slayer) and Traditional Metal (Mercyful Fate/Running Wild)
Songs I could rec from these bands:
Bathory - Reaper
Venom - Black Metal
Mercyful Fate - Nuns Have No Fun ;)
Hellhammer - Messiah
Celtic Frost - Procreation of the Wicked
Slayer - Black Magic
Sodom - Outbreak of Evil
Darkthrone - To Walk the Infernal Fields is a great song if you want to see how the sound progressed when the second wave took over.
all solid reCs here ....U-N-T ;)
Is the second wave Norwegian Black Metal???
@@adrianvelante8014 nope, not particularly. You've got a bunch of other bands that have the second wave sound. For example, Judas Iscariot from the US is second wave. The Swedish scene also had a couple second wave bands going on as did the Finns (Clandestine Blaze, although they did the second wave sound at the end of the 90s)
@@everlastingsaturnalia3096 so Norwegian Black is thrid wave??? Or a a small part of the second wave???
Oh sorry. The Norwegian scene is a part of the second wave. I.e Darkthrone, Mayhem, Burzum, Immortal, Emperor etc. But the second wave is not only the Norwegian scene. It's other scenes too.
Mercyful Fate songs:
A Dangerous Meeting
Curse of the Pharaohs
Come to the Sabbath
Evil
Into the Coven
Come come, into my coven. YEAAAAHH
Satan's Fall
Egypt
I would definitely add Nightmare to that list, super freaky song.
The Bell Witch is the stealth best song by them.
Don't forget 13 invitations
this album is one of a kind, it will never be surpassed. it's influence is still felt today.
Kim is a national treasure here in Denmark. He made sure Lars and Metallica got into Sweet Silence studios to record Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. When they got back together in '93, Metallica got them as warm up for their concert in Copenhagen. Also, Lars got them into Guitar Hero Metallica edition. Michael Denner is a great guy, he owns a record store here in Copenhagen, and he signed a couple of my Merciful discs.
Kim , I believe , is the one response for the insane awesome beats and rhythms of Merciful Fate. Not to take anything away from the rest of the amazing , uniquely brilliant musicians in the most underrated band.
I loved Micheal Denner’s guitar style. I was influenced by him when i used to play guitar!
@@GruppeSechs2004 Same here. He had an amazing "singing" style of playing. All his solos were so memorable and very melodic.
You can totally hear the influence on the early Metallica from Mercy
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of a Seventh Son.
yes!!!!!
I've been mia because of band stuff and holiday season for work stuff... Buuuut, I came. To check in and was in absolute shock. Mercyful Fate (and King Diamond) are my all time favorites. Hank Sherman (MF) and Andy LaRocque (KD) were the reason why I started playing guitar. I can still recite most of their album's lyrics by heart.
Hope all has been well in the village. 👌
Cheers!
I was in total shock too hahaha. Their reaction to Abigail was so awesome, I couldn't believe they would do another one, and out of all songs they could have gone with.. "The Oath"!! I was like wtf hahaha.. That was a perfect recomendation for Vin and Sori!
I feel the same Rudy!
I'm one of the biggest Christians, I mean I have Jesus tattooed on my arm. I absolutely love and worship the trinity. However, I have loved MERCYFUL FATE since 1984. Talent is talent PERIOD. I don't let the message of the music move me; I just think it is cool as HELL. Praise JESUS sister and brother.
Same here
Can you PLEASEEEEEEEEEE do A Dangerous Meeting by these guys, and from this same album,??? It's actually King giving a warning for people not to mess with spirits, and stuff when they don't know what they're dealing with!! I think you'd appreciate the lyrical change :)
Yes, another great track from this album!
Best track on the album imo
It’s my favorite song It just kills
@@wezlydog or Gypsy
Enslaved The watcher
Hank Sherman is one of the best guitarists of all time. MF always pushed the envelope lyrically which is why they got on the filthy 15. King Diamonds vocals are an acquired taste you either love them or hate them. Also the album artwork is second to none.
Edit: when MF reunited they went away from the satanic lyrics and produced more horror related until they released their final album 9. Some of those songs are incredible. Egypt, Time, angel of.light, are a couple great ones
Dan O'Donnell time album is fantastic. They should do Nuns have no fun. Short quick song for them
The Uninvited Guest is a banger, and has a great video too...
Mercyful Fate cannot be touched. Amen
King Diamonds vocals will grow on you as the others said. Had to grow on me too at the start. But once you get used to it, imagining this song with death vocals is impossible and not something you’d want. His vocals are unique and amazing. They harmonize with the guitars as you said and the duo of Sherman and Denner is just genius. Thanks for doing this song!
well, you could imagine another clean vocalist, but it still wouldn't do the trick. King's weird and unique intonatic quirks and strange sounds are what make him unique.
Album changed my life when I was13
Without this album, I wouldn't be a black metal musician in the first place. Thanks King Diamond!
King Diamond, being a real Satanist, meaning he does not believe in a personification of Satan, meaning, he is closer to an atheist than to a deist, can freely make this kind of lyrics because for him there is no risk. I'm an atheist, and I wouldn't think twice about "invoking" Satan, or "blaspheming" against any god because for me they're all non-existent, they're fairy-tales. Is like you insulting somehow the gods of Olympus. So, he makes these songs as verses of horror, like snippets of nightmares the way Bosch or Goya depicted them in some of their works.
King Diamond is the absolute best when it come to mixing music with storytelling and horror.
Ah... so you don't know what Satanism is... cool - should have just said that instead of this diatribe.
Furthermore, 'real Satanist" is like 'real christan" or real this or that. It's the no true scotsman fallacy
Quotes from famous musician and High ranking Church of Satan member and very close friend to Anton LaVey - King Diamond "Satanism is about the Powers of the Unknown. I have had hundreds of strange supernatural experiences with the occult, the other side, the beyond, whatever you want to call it that proves there is a spiritual world that can cross over into our world. Satanism is a life philosophy so within it you can have your own religion, any religion you want. Or take from various religions or your own whatever makes you happy. I have my own beliefs and Religiously Satan on a spiritual level stands for the Powers of Darkness, the Powers of the Unknown which are always all around us at all times. This is the best way to talk about these Spirits and Powers. Not a god or a devil as both of them are christian god's and that has nothing to do with Satanism. Of course there are different types of satanism. And I never wear gold as that is not healthy for you!
Must need something bad and use that during ritual then you might be able to get help from these powers I believe are all around us. But that is only if they like you. I do not believe in the two christians beings god or the Devil, I believe in the Powers of the Unknown, Powers of Darkness, The Powers of the Occult what ever name you want to use. . I have done Satanic Rituals and have seen and heard spirits.
Some people like to call "Them" God or the Devil or whatever, but I do not believe there is all one good and one all bad power. I believe there are many, many different Spirits and Powers that exist and that they are not good or evil, like humans they have both inside of them and I always treat them with the highest amount of respect and feel that respect returned by Them. It is massive mutual respect. Not Power, but Powers, Big difference. I believe we are one and the same me and these Unknown Forces. You really have to respect them for the incredible power they have. I believe they come to those who they feel can handle it and who will be faithful believers." In the song "Welcome Princess of Hell" you hear me singing to these spirits and powers and they sing back to me. They came to me to let me know they are here for me on my journey and that they are behind me and that they wish me good luck so I see them as my protectors almost like guardian angels. We all live several lives so that our powers/souls can grow in order to reach a higher plane and join with something greater. Our powers live in a human shell several times that will enable us to go on to a new life form a higher plane of being or join one day with a larger greater force. But 99 percent of the population live by the Satanic Philosophy whether they know it or not. As Anton LaVey even told me that Satanism is simply a life philosophy and NOT a religion. Satanism is basically Humanism. Satanism is based on logic and things that are proven which is why it could never be a religion as religion is based on things that cannot be proven.
And that’s why I say that these powers of darkness are always welcome in my home. It’s as if the powers of the unknown came and said ‘Hey, we will stay with you and help you.’ That’s what I feel.”
Personally I do not use electrical lighting at home and on my Satanic Altar or in the studio when I record vocals, only black candles as electrical lighting drives away the spirits and I love having them near me. People who see Satanism from the Christian view point are not treating these powers with respect and that is very dangerous. I once actually summoned a spirit in order to prove they are real to a girl who doubted and Satan came. My wife will not look in our mirror in fear something will come out.
In Satanism you are your own God. LaVey felt and I agree that we are all individuals born with different needs and views and so he felt everyone should make up their own mind about what to believe in spiritually if anything at all which is why he left a huge void in the Satanic Bible when it came to spirituality or any kind of religious beliefs and so within the Satanic Philosophy a person can still be a Christian if that fulfills their spiritual needs. Satan also means the Opposite, Inverted, Reversed which is why we wear the Satanic crosses and pentagrams. Satan means the opposite of religion. Satanism is living out your feelings and instincts without feeling it is a sin, enjoy yourself while you are here now while you can and have your own individual beliefs. One thing I consider almost mandatory though is believing there are powers around us. And you can use these powers to help yourself or those you care about. Or throw these powers at people in a negative way. I am not religious at all but you can say I am spiritual due to my experiences and beliefs. The Satanic bible is not really a bible because a bible is for religion so it should be called a book of philosophy instead. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
When people see the word ‘Satan’ they see only negative. Satan is not only bad, to me. It represents both sides of everything. I don’t believe in the Christian devil.
“Christianity has both God and the devil. I believe there is neither of these two. I believe in the powers of the unknown, which I have experienced many times. I know that rituals work. I don’t do them often because you can easily misuse them. They will get back at you if you don’t respect them. Rituals can channel the forces that surround us all the time but I respect the powers and will not abuse them in any way. The Satanic Bible is 70 percent Philosophy and 30 percent magic. Satan is the power of the universe. Satan to me is the Powers of Darkness, not a man with horns. Some people think Satanism is what the Christian church portrays it to be. If you are as bad and as evil as you can be and you think that’s Satanism then you have become part of the Christian religion. That is Christian Satanism which is not what I am about at all.
@@PRHILL9696 Blah bla blah. Why do you atheist humanist always need to justify yourselves to Christians?
@@skinhead5 we dont so blah blah blah yourself
King Diamond-Sleepless nights
It's a beautiful song - AND you also get King Diamond doing a sort of death metal growl in there... it's not the first time he did it, but it's one of the best songs to hear it in. I recommend watching the video with it - it's just about the perfect King Diamond/Mercyful Fate video....
Never clicked on a reaction video so fast!
Back in 1988 Geraldo Rivera did a special on satanism and king diamond was interviewed in that special..ya'll should check into that sometime...I'm a freethinker but do enjoy the detailed reviews you 2 do...
King Diamond is one of those vocalists that will grow on you, plus I wouldn’t exactly suggest this song for a new listener.
Mercyful Fate is more satanic themed and could be considered the first wave of black metal.
King Diamond does classic horror themed concept albums with little bits of occult influence thrown in there.
I encourage you guys to dig a bit deeper, I think you guys will find a whole new love and appreciation for King Diamond.
No King Diamond is not one those vocalists that will grow on you. What's there to grow on? IMHO
then you need to get the fuck out of here
As King has said many times Mercyful fate was never about satanism at all it was about religion and the occult and myths. He said the obvious that the King Diamond albums are where he is able to put his satanic beliefs and practices into the lyrics big time and mixes it in with horror for those not interested in satanism

PRHILL9696 you have it backwards. Mercyful Fate was focus on the Satanic Themes while his solo stuff is Horror/Occult theme
MERCYFUL FATE! FINALLY!
Sarcófago - Nightmare
It's one of the early influences of black metal
SATANS FALL IS THEIR EPIC TRACK
When the roots of Black Metal are discussed, it's usually the following bands:
*Venom* (They did an album called "Black Metal"), *Hellhammer* and their follow-up *Celtic Frost* , (early) *Bathory* and *Mercyful Fate* . Musically speaking, I'd say most of these bands aren't Black Metal in the sense of the genre as we know it today. But they laid the foundation in terms of atmosphere, attitude and content.
Sonically speaking, I'd locate the roots in the early phase of the so-called "second wave" of Black Metal in Norway: bands like Darkthrone and Mayhem.
One of the best tracks of arguably the best heavy metal album of all time.
This was one of my favorite songs (musically), mainly for the bass riff. I used to play along when I was much younger. Lyrically, juuuuuust a little over the top. Still, love this song and album for the musicianship.
As always, please react to Napalm Death - "Suffer the Children".
Hahaha!
VIN: "We have cookies, and eternal life"
Lol
@@VinAndSori I just hope those are chocolate chip cookies.
King Diamond-The Invisible Guest. Always great musicians, if you're not a fan of the vocals
Don't Break the Oath!
A dangerous meeting ?
Love you guys!!!
I'll always remember the first time I heard this song in 1984 ! The kind of song which brings you to another dimension of music !
a dangerous meeting
A DANGEROUS MEETING AND YOUR INITIATION WILL BE COMPLETE.
You guys like all of it and you just can't admit it. The vocals and the music are equally awesome.
I first heard this album when it was a new release. It was the first MF album I'd listened to. Then I got the Melissa album. I never did like the satanic lyrics but I was blown away by everything else. Don't Break The Oath and Melissa are both musically masterpiece albums and still hold up to this day. A Dangerous Meeting is extremely awesome.
Should’ve listened to Melissa, happy with what I got thank you god bless
Love this album!! Musicianship is incredible!! Excellent choice..
Great job guys
Hey Vin and Sori. I have been watching you two for a while now. I see your touching into merciful fate. The best song to try first is the song called "A Dangerous Meeting. I think you will like this so much better to get an ideal of King Diamond.
If you do another Mercyful fate song I would recommend the song Come to the Sabbath. Or Satan's Fall
The fathers of black metal ARE VENOM
Venom are not satanists though and King is
I seen them in concert last year! They were awesome! They're one of my favorite metal bands!
this is a masterpiece, for me one of teh best mercyful songs written ever, dont care about the lyrics because they're awesome and the riffs and solos, wow. pure talent from this danish guys.
For Halloween do the whole album Äbigail' by King diamond. Its a horror story ideal for halloween. No pro-satanic songs. Go listen to that album with the lyrics and go on a spooky journey with the true King.
Still havent become any less smug i see. Funny how this channel is still growing.
I have to say I give you guys much respect for listening all the way through the songs and not just cutting them off because they aren’t in your beliefs.
Umm Venom Black Metal would be the start of black metal for me.
Welcome to Hell was black metal before Black Metal was released...
Coven for Black Music in general and Venom for Black Metal for me. Love it!
Hahahahahaha
Yep. All started with Venom.
But Venom are not Satanists. King is a real Satanist
YES. God YES. More Mercyful Fate/King Diamond. Please, in the name of Satan, Jesus and Moses (why Moses? I don't know!)! Some suggestions -
Mercyful Fate - A Dangerous Meeting
Mercyful Fate - Into the Coven
Mercyful Fate - Come to the Sabbath
King Diamond - At the Graves
King Diamond - Welcome Home
King Diamond - The Invisible Guests
"Why Moses? I don't know!" 😂😂😂😂
Moses needed some love yo! 😂
@@neonspec 😂😂😂😂 indeed he did
Side note: 👌 good song suggestions!!! 😍
Thanks! Pretty badass band(s) ;)
Dissection - The Somberlain (studio version, pretty please)
Watain - Devil's Blood / Sworn to the Dark
The Devil's Blood - She
If you are still thinking about doing a Halloween episode, I would suggest you do a whole album reaction to "The Puppet Master" by King Diamond. It's not outright satanic as his Mercyful Fate stuff and not dealing with ghosts or possessions like Abigail or Them/Conspiracy, so I think it wouldn't be *too* scary for you guys. It's still a really good horror story though and has some amazing and chilling songs on it.
The Puppet Master is one of my favorites. Great story and melodic yet heavy music. King's wife also provides vocals for female characters.
I totally agree. Though my favorite KD album is still Abigail, The Puppet Master is easily the most twisted story of the bunch.
One of the best conceptual horror albums ever!
If they ever do a full album reaction to the King, it NEEDS to be the album Abigail or The Graveyard!
This album is the best to discover KD. Not too long, doesn't disperse itself, vocals aren't too wild (but still pure KD), top story telling and man, Magic, Emerencia, Blue Eyes...
Testament - Over The Wall
More mercyful fate!
Katatonia - Leaders
I remember being a young teen buying this album when it first came out. Coming from strict Catholic up bringing I had to hide this album in my room afaid my mom would find it. Its truly an amazing album for start to finish, Would love to see you guys do more songs from this album.
Hi Vin and Sori, hope you guys see this comment. Just wanted to say thank you for all the great reviews and discussions you both have together. Hope to chat with you on a fireside one of these days. Keep on rocking 🤘
Tina basically told you a lot of the roots. Sodom, Bathory, Kreator. These to an extent. Early Death Metal bands too. A lot of people forget that Darkthrone’s debut was a Death Metal album. The Unholy Trinity came second, third and fourth. 😊
Incidentally, why hasn’t Transilvanian Hunger or Kathaarian Life Code come up yet? If you’re really getting interested, Vin, you can’t ignore Fenriz and Nocturno Culto.
I’m just going to start requesting Christmas in October on every video lol 😂
One of your more interesting videos.
Usually i watch first 10 minutes or so, but this time i watched the whole video :)
This is gonna be good !!!
I think it's time for Hypocrisy - Adjusting the Sun!!!
Reaction mercyful Fate - satan's fall
This song just plain rocks - thanks for introducing them to me :)
Great song; Great video
Wonderful metal from the king and company 😎🤘
Finally Mercyful Fate!!
React to Sodom (another important band in metal history) - Christ Passion
Mercyful Fate - Angel of Light
In my opinion,the contrast between the vocals ,and the music is why it works.

Mercyful fate is one of the bands that most influence ghost. First ghost album has more of it.
You guys are brave. Good honest reaction haha
indecently , this was the very first Merciful Fate track that I had ever heard. loved it then love it now. That album cover scared the shit out of me when I first saw it
Awesome song choice!!! Now you gotta do Mr. Crowley by Ozzy!
Roots of black metal? VENOM - In League With Satan. It was 1981.
Right but also Mercyful Fate, Bathory, Hellhammer, early Sodom, early Slayer, ect...
This is my first time watching one of your videos after hearing of you through Nergal--who actually respects you two, last I heard--and it won't be the last time. I like your approach and how laid back you two are, and you don't come off as especially judgmental, as most Christians in America are stereotyped as being. I do believe I will keep watching and see what else you two had to say about other bands and their songs, well done!
Masterpiece 🔥
Yes!!!!!! Mercyful Fate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \m/
I remember when I heard this album the first time, it gave me the same feeling when I saw the Exorcist the very first time😳👹
The looks Sori is giving to the camera are priceless...LOL
This band was outstanding.
Please do Dio - Don't Talk To Strangers (Live At The Spectrum 1986)
And yes...Mercyful Fate is the only band of this vocals that would be considered "black metal" or related to black metal. No other band is given this distinction, Mercyful Fate has a special status.
Vin Sori I LOVE YOU THANKS
The first black metal band Venom
React to Venom- In a Leauge with Satan
This is my favorite Mercyful Fate song 🤘🏼🔥
This song absolutely rips
I love Kings voice. The silly death/black metal vocals have been done to death and they are not even Satanists where King Diamond is a real Satanist!
now it has been a couple of years, how do you feel about it now?
Mercyful Fate - Gypsy, Come To The Sabbath, The Witches Dance, Nightmare Be Thy Name
Arch Enemy - We Will Rise + Fields of Desolation (LIVE Tyrants of the Rising Sun)
PLEASEEE react to:
Dark Tranquility - Lost to apathy or Misery's crown
Avantasia - The scarecrow
Sonata Arctica - Don't say a word or Black Oceans, White Pearl
Sabaton - Primo Victoria
And Bathory - Enter the Eternal Fire & The Lake
VnS listen to this guy ^
Love your guys reaction to the solos priceless
I just listened to The Oath in my car and then this appeared on my feed.
