Mercyful Fate, King Diamond ha ufficializzato la reunion live
Il 01/08/2019, di Giuseppe Cassatella.
I Mercyful Fate terranno alcune date in Europa la prossima estate, lo ha comunicato King Diamond attraverso i propri social network.
La formazione sarà quella di ‘9’, ma gli album eseguiti saranno il primo EP, ‘Melissa’ e ‘Don’t Break The Oath’, oltre alcuni brani inediti composti sullo stesso stile.
Al momento confermata solo la partecipazione al Copenhell.
Ecco il comunicato ufficiale:
NEVER BREAK THE OATH
MERCYFUL FATE will be playing an unspecified number of concerts throughout Europe during the summer of 2020, including COPENHELL.
It will be the “9” lineup, featuring:
Hank Shermann – Guitar
King Diamond – Vocals
Bjarne T Holm – Drums
Mike Wead – Guitar
with Joey Vera on the bass while Timi Hansen is away.
We asked Joey Vera (Armored Saint, Fates Warning) to fill in because he has a very unique style and sound playing with his fingers, much like that of Timi Hansen. This is very important, since the set list will only consist of songs from the very first “mini LP”, the “Melissa” album, and the “Don’t Break The Oath” album, plus some brand new songs written specifically in that very same style.
This will very much be Mercyful Fate as we were in the very beginning, except for a brand new major stage production.
See you at the Ruined Bridge.
Stay Heavy…
