The last album I got was,

Mercyful Fate `Melissa` (special edition)

I think King Diamonds unique style of vocals have always added a haunting dimension to the sound of Mercyful Fate (and his solo albums, particuarly `Abigail` and `Them`).

I give this album 9/10 ,if you like your music heavy combined with dark haunting melodies, and operatic vocals,this is for you .

My favourite songs on it are `Black Funeral`, `Curse of the Pharoahs` and `Melissa`.

Mercyful Fate were very ahead of their time when this album was released, and were an important influence on bands that we love today, including Metallica and Slayer.
