Start herePicked by a lifelong record collector

A theatrical, twin-guitar metal peak. Sharp and influential. A genre cornerstone. Released in 1984, it's one of Mercyful Fate's later high points.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
