Records released before five years another quality
tribute album. The time was for Mercyful Fate and with
these seventeen tracks a lot of bands cover their favorite
songs from this Dannish legend. The album begins with Equinox
and Gypsy, nothing special at all, by the way Equinox
had participated in a lot of tributes. But the first surprise
comes in the second track, with Egypt and Soilwork
that period had released their debut album through Listenable
Records, a very interesting cover with the melodic
death metal from Soilwork. After that i will
stay a little in the cover of Memory Garden and
Nightmare be thy Name, the band gives a doomy atmosphere
to the whole track and they had done an interesting work with
it. Then i jumped to Dan Swano and the incredible
job that he did in the Melissa song. A very interesting
cover by this great musician. Actualy the cover from Dan
Swano was a surprise for me. Then we have the always
good band Vital Remains and their cover To
One Far Away / Rome To The Sabbath, a six minutes epos
of this crazy death metallers. Then the almighty Varathron
and Nuns Have no Fun, by the way have you heard their
newest album? Anyway, in this cover the band uses clever the
keyboards in order to give another atmosphere to the whole
track. The vocals remain in the black metal side but very
nice intro. Then last but not least we have the crazy guys
from Necrophagia and their cover to Devil
Eyes. Chaotic black metal vocals, with crazy ideas in
the music section and we have the cover from Necrophagia,
nothing more nothing less.
