As many of you already know, Mercyful Fates Evil is featured as a playable track on Guitar Hero: Metallica. Mercyful Fate re-recorded these two tracks (Evil and Curse Of The Pharaohs) specifically for the game because the original masters no longer exist. These versions were recorded at Earplug Studio in Copenhagen and Nomad Recording Studio in Dallas, Texas. They were both mastered by Andy LaRocque at his Sonic Train Studio in Sweden. King Diamond comments: It was a lot of fun to get a chance to re-record Evil and Curse of the Pharaohs from our 1983 Melissa album. It was cool to go into the studio and tries to figure out all the various harmony vocals and see if I could still do them, and the whole thing turned out much better than we could have hoped for. Everyone nailed their performances. Everything is right where it should be and with a much better sound. The feel was there and all of the guys – Hank, Denner, Timi and Bjarne are all naturals. Since Evil were
mastered by Andy LaRocque on this disc and through Activision on the game it sounds slightly different from the version you can find on Guitar Hero: Metallica.
