Mercyful Fate
|
|
'Don't Break The Oath' is the second studio album by Mercyful Fate. The style employed on the album resembled a mixture of heavy metal with progressive elements, lyrically preoccupied with Satan and the occult and distinguished by King Diamond's theatrical falsetto vocals. Although very influential to future black metal bands due to its lyrical content, the music itself is more reminiscent of traditional heavy metal.
