Mercyful Fate
Into The Unknown

The album opens, "Lucifer" - a short introduction on the keys, where the maestro reads out another appeal, one must assume to whose name the intro is called. Further, the speakers explode with the sounds of the speedy "The Uninvited Guest" - one of the best things on the album. By the way, a very good clip was shot on it. This is followed by a mid-tempo, but at the same time very peppy and beautiful "Ghost Of Change". After such a percussion band, "Listen To The Bell" spoils everything. However, the tragic song about the dangers of alcohol, “Fifteen Men (And A Bottle Of Rum),” the essence of which is that the crew of one ship, led by the captain, having drunk on the insole, drowned the ship to hell, and now their ghosts, is a little saves the situation. hanging out at sea, scaring everyone with a drunk hiccup ... In the next song "Into The Unknown" there are a lot of good points, but again, everything spoils the chips that were mentioned above. But then you will find a hopeless thrill: "Under The Spell", "Deadtime", "Holy Water" - just great things. I emphasize "Deadtime" - it is also performed in a way that is uncharacteristic for the maestro with hints of metalcore, but here the impression is completely different: the composition, in contrast to the cursed ones, looks even and shines with novelty and non-standard. The final thing "Kutulu", being absolutely no longer, can no longer spoil the impression and passes somehow imperceptibly. And after the last sounds of "Kutulu" subside in the columns, you will pretty rub your hands in anticipation of re-enjoying the same "The Uninvited Guest", "Holy Water" ... and so on. In general, a rather high-quality product of Danish metalworkers, which, I am sure, will please all fans of heavy, not to mention the fans of the King.
