Mercyful Fate / King Diamond - Larry's Hideaway, Toronto, Nov 1984 - COMPLETE VERSION * BEST QUALITY

Mercyful Fate - Larry's Hideaway, Toronto - November 4 1984
Daniel Richler of CityTV's The New Music sat down with King Diamond for an interview and some great live footage from the show at Larry's Hideaway. The band also did an in-store at the Record Peddler (original Queen St location) during that visit to town.
Many local thrashers attended Mercyful Fate's local debut gig and their stories / photos are featured in the book EVE OF DARKNESS: TORONTO METAL IN THE 80’s:
CANADA: uxbpresscanada...
REST OF WORLD: uxbpress.bigca...
EVE OF DARKNESS delivers the real story behind heavy metal’s most critical decade in Canada’s biggest city from the people who lived it. Featuring the commercially well-known (Anvil, Lee Aaron, Killer Dwarfs), influential legends (Sacrifice, Razor, Slaughter), countless forgotten obscurities and unknown ragers, plus the venues, fanzines, labels… it’s all here in serious detail.
Packed with mountains of unearthed flyers and unseen photos, and extensive text drawn from over one hundred interviews, EVE OF DARKNESS is a true labour of love with over 300 beautifully printed, large format pages.

King Diamond and Mercyful Fate have stood the test of time. The best always do. Melissa and Don't Break the Oath are not only Mercyful Fate's best albums, but two of the best metal albums of all time period!

[@robertpreston2220]

ANd unlike all the fakes in metal. King is a real Satanist

[@PRHILL9696]

agree!

[@guskalogeros9021]

👏👏👏

[@mark_beastpriest5539]

Man, I miss record stores. You met artists, and hung out with people who loved metal, and awesome staff who kept you in the loop about coming events and releases. Now, we have B.S. rap, pop, Spotify and all kinds of crap that killed the industry. Shove it! I'll take my metal on vinyl and cd anyday! Support your favourite artists, and keep metal alive!

[@davecarlo1610]

Amen, brother.

[@025698able]

@@davecarlo1610 por eso prefiero el aimk, descargar la discografia por mi cuenta y disfrutar, spotify es un filtro que dejan solo musica basura que bandas excelsas como los grandes mercyful fate

[@shpadoinkle906]

Awesome!!!! And King is wearing a Show No Mercy shirt! How cool is that!

[@britgilbert8736]

He is very intelligent

This was the time for metal good memories man hail satan

[@zandig666]

Sure was I was 15 in '80 we were listening to priest ozzy venom Fate general etc while I was still in high school great days 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟 especially in Canada we were always behind the states now that I look back

[@PRHILL9696]

Always respected King for being the only true satanist in metal. Still is

[@massapower]

80's MeTaL was the best. Yes there was also crap MeTaL, but all in all, the 80's brought plenty of great MeTaL with their own unique individual style & sound. 😁🤟 Unlike today, majority all sound the same😏

[@PRHILL9696]

it is all pretty generic now. Some great new bands once ina while though

[@bugstomper4670]

Don't play records backwards kids! Or you'll end up walking with your a$$ backwards too!

[@goldenlarry]

King Diamond: "Gotta get rid of this old bullshit about Satanists drinking the blood of newborn children." Also King Diamond: "Seven satanic Hell preachers heading for the hall, bringing the blood of a newborn child, got to succeed if not it's Satan's fall." Haha.

[@sonsenus2]

Lyric theme it's just trolling of stereotypes of satan's fanbase.

[@WALDENSOFTWARE]

Supposed to be semi sarcastic

[@robertpreston2220]

King said the obvious. the lyrics are based on stupid christian viewpoints which is funny as christians are into blood and sacrifice and Satanism forbids it

[@PRHILL9696]

That whole song is about educating yourself and finding out what something is really about instead of believing lies. You just proved he is right

[@goldenlarry]

Haha, it's a joke. Jeezuz! Anyway, it's nice to see you listening to Mercyful Fate and defending King diamond on Xmas day so all is good! @@PRHILL9696

[@robertpreston2220]

King has got ton more people into Satanism by far, more than anyone else

[@PRHILL9696]
