- Time

MERCYFUL FATE
“Black Funeral”
Music for Nations
After the first LP, there is now also a maxi-single from Mercyful Fate, the quintessential Danish heavy band. Following in the tradition of Black Sabbath, “Black Funeral,” an excerpt from the LP, and “Black Masses,” a previously unreleased song, invoke evil. Mystical lyrics and magic are the order of the day, musically presented in a suitably dark guise.
However, it is not exclusively slow and dragging: occasional, unexpected changes of tempo within the songs lead into a veritable frenzy of speed, only to subsequently return you to the tranquility of a cemetery.

When will King Diamond (solo) tour again?
Think KD new band lineup with Gus G will tour this year or not until next year in the Fall after MF European Tour ends? Just curious cause I can't wait to see Gus G with King Diamond and plus I wanna hear new songs too and hopefully a new setlist and stage setup
