More about '9 (Re-Issue)'

Mercyful Fate's album "9" is an epitome of the unyielding essence that defines heavy metal. Released originally in 1999 and now reissued, the album showcases the band's relentless pursuit of darkness entwined with melody. King Diamond's haunting vocals pierce through the intricate guitar work of Hank Shermann and Mike Wead, creating a chilling atmosphere that fans have come to adore. The album is a collection of narratives that touch upon themes of occultism and mysticism, reminiscent of the band's earlier works but with a refined maturity.

The production quality on this reissue has been meticulously crafted to preserve the raw intensity of the original recordings while enhancing the sonic depth. Mastered at Temple Of Disharmony by Patrick W. Engel, every track pulses with energy, drawing listeners into Mercyful Fate's sinister world. From the opening track "Last Rites" to the climactic "9," each song is a testament to the band's enduring legacy in the metal realm. This limited edition release not only serves as a nostalgic journey for longtime fans but also as an introduction for newcomers to experience Mercyful Fate at their peak.
