Mercyful Fate is an influential Danish heavy metal band often cited among the
influences in the black metal, thrash metal, power metal, and progressive
metal genres.

The band was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1980 from the remaining
members of Hank Shermann's band Brats and King Diamond's band Black
Rose. In early 1981, they helped Michael Denner with demos for his band
Danger Zone. Soon, Shermann, Denner, Diamond, and Denner's bass player
Timi Grabber realized their potential as a unit and started performing as
Mercyful Fate. The band experienced the usual member changes for a new
band, as Denner left (and later returned). In addition, the drummer position
was a revolving door, but Kim Ruzz finally established himself as the
drummer.

In early 1982, the band contributed to the Ebony Records sampler Metallic
Storm. Later on in the year, Mercyful Fate recorded its first material,
Mercyful Fate, on vinyl for the Dutch label Rave On. The release included
heavy and evil material that would later inspire the black metal genre
(although Venom and Bathory are as equally considered as the forefathers of
black metal).

Following the EP, the band released Melissa in 1983 and Don't Break the Oath
in 1984, which are now considered by many to be classics in both the power
metal and black metal genres. Following the tour (which saw them play in the
United States for the first time) in support of Don't Break the Oath, Diamond
split ways with Mercyful Fate in April 1985 as a result of frustration over
creative differences with Hank Shermann. With him, Diamond brought band
mates Hansen and Denner to found a new band under his own name.
Diamond's new venture continued the tradition of Mercyful Fate, but with a
more progressive, conceptual twist to it. In response, Hank Shermann formed
the band Fate, which pursued a more AOR direction.
