From what I remember, an old friend commented on King's vocals which he said could hit the sixth or eighth octave. And they better not put King or Fate into the R&RHOF. That place is horrendous. How dare King be alongside singers and bands that are included but not a single rock song. Never put King Diamond/Merciful Fate under the same roof with people like Michael Jackson, Madonna, even rap artists.

Melissa is the debut studio album by Danish heavy metal band Mercyful Fate, released on this day 10/30/83. It was the first album released by Roadrunner Records. This was also the first Mercyful Fate effort to get an official release in the United States through Megaforce Records, as the self-titled EP was a highly sought after import, and the BBC sessions were only available on bootleg tapes. Melissa has been identified as one of the earliest examples of extreme metal, and is often considered to be a major influence on the then-developing thrash metal, black metal and death metal genres.

With that said, it's still one of the best metal albums ever released. I also really like In The Shadows, and consider it a perfect album.

I completely agree. Don't break the Oath is exceptional as well, but Melissa just has the edge. I like the production on Melissa better, as well. Oath is more metallic & treble heavy, Melissa is slightly warmer.

Forty years ago, this was great music. Now is pure gold.

My my goose pimples every time i hear this. In 1984 i got my drivers licences and we drove around getting hi to this and dont break the oath in winter time. Best times ever... we would drive around for hours and hours till we had to go back home.

2 things i really liked about this band : the breaks/temp changes and the twin solo attacks.
