METALLICA With KING DIAMOND At OZZFEST: Soundboard-Quality Audio Available
August 15, 2008A soundboard-quality audio version of METALLICA's performance with legendary Danish metal singer King Diamond (MERCYFUL FATE, KING DIAMOND) at the one-day Ozzfest last Saturday night (August 9) at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas can be heard below.
MERCYFUL FATE will be remembered for its unquestionable mark on the history of metal with its innovative sound, complex arrangements, memorable melody, and its influence on bands that later took the genre to new heights.
In 1998, METALLICA paid tribute to MERCYFUL FATE by recording a medley of classic MERCYFUL FATE songs on the album "Garage Inc." Entitled "Mercyful Fate", the medley included parts from "Satan's Fall", "Curse of the Pharaohs", "A Corpse Without Soul", "Into the Coven" and "Evil".
Lars Ulrich of METALLICA (a fellow Dane) played drums on a new version of MERCYFUL FATE's "Return of the Vampire" on the "In the Shadows" album, which came out in 1993.
