Background information über 'The Beginning'

"The Beginning" by Mercyful Fate is a seminal compilation that draws from the raw energy and dark mysticism of early heavy metal. With its roots firmly planted in the eerie theatrics and groundbreaking riffwork that defined the genre's formative years, this reissue offers fans both new and old a chance to experience the unyielding power of the band's early days. Tracks like "Doomed by the Living Dead" and "Black Masses" showcase Mercyful Fate's ability to weave tales of horror and the supernatural into a sonic tapestry that is both captivating and chilling.

Each track on "The Beginning" serves as a testament to Mercyful Fate's unique approach to heavy metal storytelling. King Diamond's haunting vocals guide listeners through macabre narratives set against a backdrop of thundering percussion and intricate guitar work. The album's production—enhanced for modern audiences—preserves the raw intensity of its original recordings while offering a polished clarity that highlights the intricate musicianship within each track. This limited edition release is not just an album; it's an invitation to journey back to a time when heavy metal was still carving out its identity in sonic form.
