MERCYFUL FATE Are Back; Announce European Tour

Mercyful fate

MERCYFUL FATE have announced that they will be reuniting for an unspecified number of concerts throughout Europe during the summer of 2020.

Band said in a statement:

“NEVER BREAK THE OATH

MERCYFUL FATE will be playing an unspecified number of concerts throughout Europe during the summer of 2020, including COPENHELL.

“It will be the “9” lineup, featuring:

Hank Shermann – Guitar

King Diamond – Vocals

Bjarne T Holm – Drums

Mike Wead – Guitar

“with Joey Vera on the bass while Timi Hansen is away.

“We asked Joey Vera (Armored Saint, Fates Warning) to fill in because he has a very unique style and sound playing with his fingers, much like that of Timi Hansen. This is very important, since the set list will only consist of songs from the very first “mini LP”, the “Melissa” album, and the “Don’t Break The Oath” album, plus some brand new songs written specifically in that very same style.

“This will very much be Mercyful Fate as we were in the very beginning, except for a brand new major stage production.

“See you at the Ruined Bridge.

“Stay Heavy…”
