3 stars Good but not great
This is probobly Mercyful Fate's second best album of the 90's with "In The Shadows" being the first. This album contains some awsome tracks which remind be of the earlier (and best) MF material with such songs as "The Uninvited Guest", "Ghost Of Change", "Under The Spell", and "Holy Water". A lot of the songs on here are rather disappointing such as "Fifteen Men (And A Bottle Of Rum)" "Listen To The Bell" and the title track which is the worst song on the album. If these songs were as good as the others on here, it would be their best 90's album.

Mercyful Fate Dead Again CD (1998)

Into The Unknown album

$9.59

Recorded during a frenzy of activity during the late '90s, Dead Again was presumably thrown together rather quickly, as Mercyful Fate and King Diamond's solo outfit were both releasing new discs at a furious rate. This schedule had to be most taxing on vocalist Diamond, whose ultra-high-pitch bellowing and novel-length lyrical additions to both of his bands made for a laborious schedule. Joining Diamond on this 1998 Metal Blade release are guitarists Hank Shermann and Mike Wead, drummer Bjarne T. Holm, and bassist Sharlee D'Angelo. With the exception of Diamond, each member of Mercyful Fate turns in solid performances in both the creation and execution of fine riffs and arrangements. Diamond, on the other hand, sounds a little uninspired, ...

Mercyful Fate 9 CD (1999)

Into The Unknown music CDs

$9.55

It's somewhat odd that the reunited Mercyful Fate has now recorded more prolifically than the original group did in their classic early-'80s period, especially since there seems to be a personnel shift with nearly every '90s album. Their fifth full-length since the reunion, 9 does feature the same lineup as its predecessor, Dead Again; the downside is that there are now only two original members remaining -- King Diamond and Hank Shermann. While Mike Wead is a fine guitarist, the telepathic interplay Shermann had with Michael Denner provided a goodly portion of the band's spark, and that energy was the main reason Mercyful Fate could get away with sticking to their tried-and-true style upon making their comeback in 1993. Now ...

Mercyful Fate In The Shadows CD (1993) Reissue

Into The Unknown songs

$9.95

The first album from the reunited Mercyful Fate (with studio drummer Morton Nielsen replacing Kim Ruzz), IN THE SHADOWS adopts the stripped-down sound and progressive songwriting of the group's debut MELISSA. There's even a harpsichord-laced sequel to that album's title track, called "Is That You, Melissa." Despite the passage of eight years, vocalist King Diamond, guitarists Michael Denner and Hank Shermann, and bassist Timi Hansen recapture the same spark that made their first two albums classics in the metal realm. While the atmosphere is not as malevolent as that of their previous release DON'T BREAK THE OATH, Diamond's lyrics and performances are less cartoonish than before, and these songs generally feature the memorable hooks that are one of the group's trademarks. ...

Mercyful Fate Time CD (1994) Reissue

Into The Unknown album

$9.55

Like its predecessor (the comeback disc In the Shadows), Time has a mostly original Mercyful Fate lineup delivering strong material that might not exactly stand up to the group's best early-'80s work, but still packs a nasty horror-metal punch. As always, the distinctive frontman King Diamond leads the way on Time with his epic (if a little silly) lyrics and bizarre vocal range that defined the group's sound. Often overshadowed by Diamond's theatrics, the other bandmembers (guitarist Hank Sherman, bassist Sharlee D'Angelo, and relative newcomer Snowy Shaw on drums) do their usual fine job cranking out retro and near thrash ...

King Diamond Graveyard CD (1996)

Into The Unknown CD music

$11.39

When King Diamond emerged with the archetypal black metal outfit Mercyful Fate in the early '80s, his alarmingly satanic lyrics were downright scary. But as a solo artist, he has become a reliable source of harmless, B-movie horror fun with his well-done concept albums. The Graveyard isn't one of his best, due to less memorable material and a tight, dry production ...

Mahmoud Ahmed Live In Paris CD (1998) (Import) France

Into The Unknown songs

$18.75

This recording stems from a Paris concert in 1994 by one of Ethiopia's brighter stars. Mahmoud Ahmed provides a large lump of powerful vocals over the top of a vaguely urban jazz/Afro-beat backing texture. The intensity of the music is something to rival the Africa 70 or Egypt 80, with a pair of sax players dominating the proceedings. Ahmed's vocals, though, are the true star of the show, with the voice carrying over the top of all matters and providing an outlet for various love songs and melancholy pieces, with the spare festival song thrown in for good measure. The ...
