Yeah, they are similar, but so are the bands. I bet most Venom fans like King Diamond and Mercyful Fate.

They both rule

u must be stupid! thats the most ripped off riff in HEAVY METAL HISTORY! almost every heavy metal band that came out of the 70s or 80s has done that riff in a song!
-
Your dumb, they sound somewhat similar but there two completely different riffs!! Alot of shit is always gonna sound alike like someone elses. King Diamond fucking RULES!!!!
-
Well it's not that similar. Clearly two different riffs. Love both bands/songs
-
That's a classic traditional heavy metal riff ! Venom and Mercyful Fate aren't the only bands which used it... Look an Iron Maiden's 2 minutes to midnight... and many other bands from this musical category ! Nevertheless, I choose Mercyful Fate's music anytime!

Iron maiden-2 minutes to miiiidnight,Megadeth -Skin of my teeth,Megadeth-high speed dirt
King Diamond wrote, recorded, and released Curse of the Pharaohs on vinyl in 1980 for the BBC sessions. Maybe you should update your video so you dont sound so stupid.

The Venom album came before. In fact Mercyful Fate might just have wanted to honour Venom...After all they are both famous "satanic"" metal bands !
