This is the kind of thing The Fate does really fucking well – at times blur the lines between rhythm and lead guitar and create some of the most awesome riffs ever. Second only to Black Sabbath, I must say – the first two Mercyful Fate albums have more killer riffs than even Judas Priest’s first few, and that’s one Hell of a feat.
So, this is a very good album, it’s just that it’s no Melissa.
