Description

Shaped picture disc with inlay. Limited 666 copies

The two tracks on this shaped picture disc is taken from Mercyful Fate 1999 album 9. Back then King tried to keep both Mercyful Fate and his own King Diamond act alive and were performing simultaneously with both bands. A year earlier Mercyful Fate released Dead Again and King Diamond The Graveyard and some says that trying to run them both was a bad idea and something that made the studio albums lacking in quality. However I would say that 9 is a minor masterpiece and a great swansong in case it will continue to be their last studio opus. One important change for this album, is that Mercyful Fate has returned to their classic, Satanic lyrical themes in full-form. Those were abandoned when the band re-formed, but on 9, we see the band take the concept a step further, bringing back imagery of Satanic rituals, deals with the Devil, and much, much more into each and every track (except for Buried Alive which has been chose as the A-side for this single).

Track list:
1. Buried Alive
2. Sold My Soul
