Label : Metal Blade / PHM
Release : 13-3-2026
The Mercyful Fate EP captures the very first moment of the band’s identity taking shape. There are no elaborate concepts here, just a direct introduction to a sound that immediately stands apart from its time. The tracks are concise, sharp and driven by an energy that feels both raw and purposeful. It is a release that makes an instant impression through its intensity and character.
This 2026 reissue on white vinyl brings that initial impact back into focus. The shorter format creates a concentrated listening experience that hits quickly and leaves a lasting impression. On vinyl, the raw recording feels more immediate and tangible, preserving its original spirit. For collectors, this EP represents the starting point of something that would become truly influential.
