Our Take

Mercyful Fate’s latest album “Into the Unknown” is like taking a wild ride on a heavy metal rollercoaster through the darkest depths of hell. The band, led by the legendary King Diamond, delivers a masterclass in shredding guitars, thunderous drums, and spine-tingling vocals that will send shivers down your spine.

From the opening track “Lucifer” to the epic closer “The Coven”, the album takes you on a journey through the occult, the supernatural, and all things evil. The band's signature blend of classic metal riffs and haunting melodies is on full display here, proving that they still have what it takes to melt faces and summon demons with their music.

Tracks like “Unholy Rites” and “Satan’s Tomb” showcase the band at their heaviest and most intense, while “The Witch” and “Beelzebub” offer a more melodic and atmospheric side to their sound.

Fans of Mercyful Fate will not be disappointed with “Into the Unknown”, as the band continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of heavy metal. So grab your pentagram necklace, light some candles, and crank up the volume on this devilish masterpiece. Just be prepared for a few strange looks from your neighbours.
