Mercyful Fate's Melissa is a landmark debut that helped define the sound of heavy metal when it was first released in 1983. Fronted by the theatrical King Diamond and powered by the twin guitar attack of Hank Shermann and Michael Denner, the album carved out a unique space in the metal world with its dark atmosphere, occult imagery, and virtuosic musicianship.
More than four decades after its original release, Melissa remains one of the most influential records in heavy metal history, earning admiration from legends like Metallica and generations of devoted fans. This 2025 reissue from Metal Blade Records brings the album back to vinyl in a striking Black and Yellow Marble pressing, making it a worthy addition to any serious rock or metal collection.
