Mercyful Fate - Evil (Studio Version)

Mercyful Fate - Evil from the 1983 album "Melissa"

I was born on the cemetery
Under the sign of the moon
Raised from my grave by the dead
I was made a mercenary
In the legions of Hell
Now I'm king of pain, I'm insane

You know my only pleasure
Is to hear you cry

I'd love to hear you cry
I'd love to feel you die

And I'll be the first
To watch your funeral
And I'll be the last to leave

I'd love to hear you cry

And when you're down beyond the ground
I'll dig up your body again
And make love to shame
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye
You've gotta say goodbye
'Cause I will eat your mind

i know they used copious reverb for King and that his voice alone would sound different, but when he hits those high notes on "cry" and "die"...aww man, how awesome is that?!

@DrJuice1 Check out the BBC live studio version of "Satan's Fall" from "the Beginning" album on my other channel. King;'s voice is still damn good, with no reverb added. All reverb does is make an echo so to speak.

Satan ? Check

Hell ? Check

Graves ? Check

Death ? Check

Undeath ? Check

Necrophilia ? Check

Sadism ? Check

Cannibalism ? Check

Funeral ? Check

All the elements of a successful metal song.

@Metalhead15712 Try "Night of the Unborn". It's pure eargasm at the end, similar to this one. "Desecration of Souls" and "Curse of the Pharaohs" are also great. Oh, what the flying fornication. They are all great, and it's absolutely normal that it takes a lot of time to get used to King Diamond. But it's definetly worth it. You will love these songs forever. They'll simply never gonna go away.

Great. The original version, not the re-recorded one. Thanks a lot!
