Description

Mercyful Fate Melissa / DonĂ¢t Break The Oath 2 on 1 cassette tape RR 49648 Netherlands
TWIN PAK
TWO COMPLETE ALBUMS ON ONE CASSETTE

—————————————————————————————————–

All of Mercyful Fate potential was fulfilled on Don’t Break the Oath, a doomy, gothic collection of post-Priest/Maiden black metal preoccupied with Satan and the occult. Hank Shermann and Michael Denner keep their progressive rock tendencies reigned in while still delivering plenty of the neo-classical feel that gives the music its atmosphere, and King Diamond uses his vocal range to great theatrical effect. Fate sound and attitude were highly influential on later gothic/black metal bands, especially in Europe, and Don’t Break the Oath consistently encapsulates their appeal.

—————————————————————————————————–
Don’t Break the Oath is Mercyful Fate second full-length album. It was released in 1984.
The style Mercyful Fate employed on Don’t Break The Oath resembled a mixture of post-Judas Priest and Iron Maiden heavy metal, lyrically preoccupied with Satan and the occult and distinguished by King Diamond theatrical falsetto vocals. The album was remastered and subsequently re-issued on Roadrunner Records in 1997. Metal-Rules.com named this the greatest extreme metal album of all time.
