"This is some very good stuff.There are many classic songs that can also be found on Melissa and some that are not on that album."Nuns have no fun" is a great song.This stuff was a good start for the band but i think that Dont Break The Oath was Mercyful Fates best album.And what is that other reviewer talking about comparing them to Christian Death?He says "if you want some real GOTH/DEATH ROCK.....".If you think that Mercyful Fate is even trying to be a death rock band then you shouldnt even be reviewing this album.Although Christian Death with Rozz Williams was great.The mention of Christian Death has no place in a mercyful fate review.Anyway,Mercyful Fate is a lot better.Buy this CD."

The masterpiece of the King and his men

"Mercyful Fates,"the begining",is the best mercyful fate album i have ever heard,it contains great tracks like,"Doomed by the living dead","corps without a soul","Nuns have no fun",and the very strange"Evil",so if you want to get one album I would recommend this album because after you listen to this album once you will know it by heart!

Keep the metal alive!"

"Even though some parts of this album sound kind of weard, it has killer riffs and contains b-sides with a first release EP. At first I didn't like it that much. I'd used to hear Track 1 on the Roadrunner site on King Diamonds page and it's one of the best tracks on the album. Then I understood why it sounds a little like Iron Maiden. Ofcourse it was the early 80's when it was raw demo versions for a start. They sounded great and very dated, and this album is really worth your while. If you still don't have it, Get it!"
