Really? I don't think Mercyful fate or the King are really black metal.. they have wayyy to much of the 80's sound.. Mercyful Fate for the like the begining and Melissa I can.. I understand what you are saying..
However I like Black metal but not all of it.
But yes my fiance calls it clown metal too... In fact he defaced a poster of mine back in high school when he was wasted... I still bring that up after 8 years cause I'm still pissed. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Nicholas Fivepennies from Thursday, July 23, 2009 1:26:47 PM)

LOL yeah! Back in the day I used to listen to a few of those so-called black metal bands like "Mercyful Fate" and "King Diamond". I liked that stuff, but you have to admit that those newer bands are completely over the top. Back in the eighties I thought the whole glam movement was a bit cheesy, but this is much cheesier. It's just too much. LOL!
