I was at a record store in 1985, at the import section. I pulled out Don't Break the Oath. A tall metal dude next to me said, "Get it, it's good." I bought it. The rest is history.

Great musicans! Such a tight playing! The music is quite complex, and they still were a pretty young band. Much Respect! KIng Diamond's voice is something you can love or hate, nothing inbetween. I love him! He can tell ghost stories. His voice is not that extreme since it can convey moods and moments. A great singer and still a weird performer. Our darker sides cannot be denied, KD makes them show. Early Mercyful Fate would be crucial to modern metal and rock!
@jasonvoorhees85452 жыл бұрын
