Mercyful Fate vs. King Diamond

I tend to listen to King Diamond the most, but Melissa and Don't Break the Oath are out-an-out classics. I hate the lyrics on both of them, so they aren't frequent players for me, but man the music and King's vocals are just downright bone chilling.

I personally don't mind the lyrics, for me they're much too silly to take seriously.

Mercyful Fate

I always preferred MF. There's just something about KD's vox and that Shermann/Denner guitar sound that creates the audio equivalent of pure Satan.

This says it all for me

Kind Diamond solo, I guess. The first 2 MF albums are bonafide classics and I do enjoy the rest of their releases but I think the solo material is just better than the remainder of MF material.

And even a woman can't get her voice as high as King!
