    Rating:
    Mercyful Fate is such a rare thing as a danish metal band, back in the eighties their style was called "black metal" although the only BM element was the lyrics. What it really was, is melodic heavy metal, and the vocals are very Judas Priest-inspired, light and with a very high tone.
    This one is their second and some people call it one of the best metal albums ever, and only after a couple of listens I was ready to agree, still am after having heard it many many times. This is such excellent stuff! This album impressed me like nothing has done before, I recommend that you buy it too so you don't miss this masterpiece!
