About Mercyful Fate

Black Metal

Danish heavy metal pioneers have shaped the early black metal scene, emerging from Copenhagen in 1981 with vocalist King Diamond and guitarist Hank Shermann. The band’s early releases such as Melissa (1983) and Don’t Break the Oath (1984) blended progressive rock influences with occult-themed lyrics, earning them a place in the first wave of black metal. The group has not announced a full tour, but they are slated to headline the UK’s Bloodstock festivals in 2027, marking their first live appearance since 2024.
