Early Mercyful Fate´s(Melissa/Don´t break the oath both entirely) supreme anti-christian cult stuff deserve their throne on pantheon of haunting darkness.
@XStoneDeadForeverX Some people like King's vocals from the start, for others it grows on them, and some never like them. It's a matter of taste. Either you like the falsetto style, or you don't. If you listen to early Judas Priest or Arthur Brown, the vocal style is very similar. This is where King drew his inspiration.
@TempleOfInanna2 I like Halfords voice. He is a far more talented singer. And Priest is musically a league or two above this band. Hence their superstardom and MF's relative obscurity. I am not discounting their contribution to early Metal. But yea, the falsetto is a deal breaker for me.
@XStoneDeadForeverX "I like Halfords voice. He is a far more talented singer." Have you listened to early Judas Priest, as in from the late 70's? Much of it is very falsetto oriented. Or Halford's Resurrection? That song is almost 100% falsetto style. Just strikes me as odd that you would enjoy Halford but not Diamond. As far as the music itself goes, I would argue that Mercyful Fate is on par if not a step above Priest. But hey, we all have our opinions.
@TempleOfInanna2@XStoneDeadForeverX I hate to intrude on your discussion, but rob halfor is NOT falsetto anything. King diamond is self taught and most likely developed falsetto, which sounds like squeeky elmo. trained singers and some naturals have HEAD VOIC, which is when your chords still have closure. This is a STRONG sound like halford or owens or dickenson. common misconception, but it's easy to see why someone wouldnt listen to king daimond
@TempleOfInanna2 I think King Diamond perfected the falsetto style better than Rob Halford.Obviously their both great,And Judas Priest is a legend.But for me King Diamond did it better.Also Abigail is one of the best made up horror stories ever.
@XStoneDeadForeverX It's your loss, for taking rock 'n' roll too seriously. If people just got their heads out of their asses, they might be enjoying more music.
This shit sounds so fucking gay. So what are devil worshipers all queers or what? Whats with all the squealy lyrics? Sounds like he is being drilled in the ass.
@richierich1040 I dont understood.. are you criticizing my comment? BTW, I bloody love Mercyful Fate, actually i have a Mercyful Fate cover band, its called "BLACK MASSES".
LOL I remember a lady asked King how he can say Satanism is not about sacrifices and on this song she thought a woman was killed and King said no there was no one killed on this song at all
Satan's existence is, by design, to tempt humans and ultimately destroy them. Who would be dumb enough to happily go along with their own destruction?
@orlandofriend All of humanity is, thanks to the first world. Our way of life is killing us, and we're enjoying every moment of it! Fuck it, we're all going to hell anyways, might as well be looking forward to it. No god would let our kind into heaven. ALL HAIL THE KING.
YES HAIL SATAN!!
