Mercyful Fate – Don’t Break the Oath (2024 40th Anniversary Red Vinyl)

Description

Celebrating 40 years of one of heavy metal’s most influential albums, the 2024 anniversary edition of Don’t Break the Oath brings Mercyful Fate’s occult masterpiece back with a premium new pressing on red vinyl. Originally released in 1984, the album remains a cornerstone of black metal, traditional heavy metal, and the entire Danish metal movement.

King Diamond’s unmistakable falsettos, the twin‑guitar sorcery of Hank Shermann and Michael Denner, and the band’s dark, ritualistic atmosphere make this record a timeless classic. The 40th Anniversary edition preserves the original artwork, layout, and tracklist while giving collectors a striking new coloured‑vinyl variant.

Featuring essential tracks such as:

• “A Dangerous Meeting”

• “Desecration of Souls”

• “The Oath”

• “Come to the Sabbath”

This is the definitive modern collector’s edition of one of metal’s most sacred albums.
