Mercyful Fate’s Melissa stands as a cornerstone in the evolution of extreme metal, marking the debut of a Danish band that would stir the metal scene with its blend of dark themes and complex musicianship. Released through Roadrunner Records—the label’s very first album—Melissa introduces the character of Melissa, a witch burned at the stake, weaving occult storytelling through tracks like "Into The Coven," which once caught the ire of the Parents Music Resource Center. The album’s opening salvo, "Evil," has earned its place among metal’s most memorable songs, while the epic "Satan's Fall" stretches beyond 11 minutes, highlighting the band’s progressive metal leanings and ambition. This original 1983 pressing brings the album in vinyl form that’s a touch shy of flawless but still sports a glossy surface with only faint, light paper scuffs. It’s a solid example for those who want to hear the album as it was first introduced to the world, with sound quality that should satisfy the serious listener without the need for over-polishing. If you’re looking to get a feel for early metal’s darker corners, this pressing captures a pivotal moment without the need for a crystal ball.
