REVIEW: Mercyful Fate - 9 Metal Blade Records, 1999
9/10
Mercyful Fate - 9 - cover art 9 is another great album from King Diamond´s talented musicians in Mercyful Fate. The usual anti-christian lyrics sung with the characteristic voice that you either hate or love. Mercyful Fate is one of a few old classic metal bands from the 80's who are still around and together with Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden and a few others they are one of the most important metal bands of all time. Countless bands, ranging from classic metal to death and black metal bands, have found their inspiration in the beautiful melodies created by Mercyful Fate. This albums contains the traditional MF music but there is a somewhat dirty sound on many of them that doesn´t do the songs justice. However it is still a very good recording and who would have expected anything else from this band? As long as there are bands like this metal will never succumb.
