@DropDownFreddie This was a tribute album to Mercyful Fate under the name of "Curse Of The Demon: A Tribute To Mercyful Fate" Dan just happened to cover 1 song, "Mellisa"
@ssbs2891 because maybe people never heard of Dan Swano before, but like the original song, so they find this video and don't like how he coverd it. I think with his vocals the song just sounds like any random rock/pop ballad.
what I don't understand is why if his vocals are so great does all his other music have those "growling" vocals that like 99% of all the metal guys do these days
It's cool to hear this song in a different style. Of course I dont like it as much as the original... but that doesnt mean it isnt good, it just means Mercyful Fate is too good to beat :P
Speaking about Swano ... before listening to this, I only liked 2 Edge of Sanity songs ... but with this cover he totally convinced me ... A very gifted musician.

It's ok.....definently totally different like when mushroomhead covered Crazy by seal theyr completely different but...u miss the faselettos when you hear this....be honest u miss that " CRYSTAL BAAAAAAAAAALL"
@fwaapo Indeed, the best guitar tandem in metal ever is the one composed by Hank Shermann and Michael Denner. Hail Mercyful Fate and the great King Diamond.
Nearly all covers Dan has done, THAT I've heard myself, sound fucking great. From The Sisters of Mercy to Mercyful Fate. This sounds even more beautiful in Dan's vision.
You beat me to it! lol Very beautiful dark song redone by an amazing musician. This version WAS NEVER on youtube until now, you are the first. Thanks.
the beginning sounds here like some latino crap, the harsh vocals insted of his yelling would make it worthy, but this way it's no match for the morbid sounding original! guitar sound is crushing nevertheless
Dan Swano é fudido
