 King Diamond's voice, one that can be instantly loved or hated, greatly contributed to Mercyful Fate's fame.

 "In The Shadows" presents songs that narrate chilling stories, immersing listeners in occult and horror-themed tales.

Mercyful Fate's 1993 album In the Shadows stays true to the band’s heavy and black metal roots but lacks some of the atmospheric magic of earlier works. Featuring strong storytelling inspired by occult and horror themes, King Diamond and the band deliver an engaging and musically skilled performance. Though not innovative, the album is a solid comeback that pleases longtime fans. Discover Mercyful Fate’s haunting return with In the Shadows—listen now and dive into their dark metal tales.

 The addition of Uwe Lulis on guitar was more than beneficial to the group, refreshing Hermann Frank’s sound.

 "Resilient" is neither a horrible album, nor a perfect one, but is simply what Running Wild needed to not lose the respect of their fans permanently.

Though not perfect, it restores some fan respect following recent disappointments.
