[Metalliced]

Acid Reign "Obnoxious", "The Fear" and "Moshkenstein" (note: these are the 'remasters' and have left much to be desired. 'Remastering' has annoying gaps and are suspect, to say the least)

Wild Dogs "Reign Of Terror" (2007 remaster. In your face!)

Riot "Thundersteel" (is there anything better?)

Forbidden "Forbidden Evil" and "Twisted Into Form" (2008 remasters, and they sound...Great!. I officially now own three versions of each of these two albums. I am a nerd)

Slammer "Work Of Idle Hands" (2013 remaster...Oh, wait. No I'm not!)

 

[I-TEND-TO-DIE]

recently listened to:
Carnivore - Retaliation
Sodom - Masquerade In Blood
Revenant - Prophecies of A Dying World
Anacrusis - Reason (love that album, my absolute favorite album besides Suffering Hour)
Deathwish - Demon Preacher
I must say I just love how it sounds, everything's perfect re-mixed and remastered.

At the moment I can't really listen to more than 2 albums per day, Iam not really in a good mood.
But maybe today it's different..

He listens to such violent music, no wonder the boy is so mean. Come on man get some Yanni in your diet.

Just to let you know we didn't touch the mix of Demon Preacher, just remastered it from original CD. but it sounds much better now that is for sure!

Also, I have tried to license the REVENANT album but Nuclear Blast won't come off it.

01. Hell Theater "The Reincarnation Of Evil"
02. Attic "The Invocation"

I recently gave in (until I find a distributor who charges less than $25 for a CD copy) and bought a download of Attic's "The Invocation" album, as I've heard more than a handful of people praising it as a great Mercyful Fate inspired band. Being someone who loves (old) Fate, I had to check it out.

Having heard it, I would agree, but I don't understand why more fans don't give Hell Theater some credit. In my opinion, they're much more Fate-ish than Attic, or even more 'Fate' than Mercyful Fate has been since their 'reunion' in '93. Actually, I hear more Helstar (especially the vocals) and NWOBHM influence in Attic, than straight MF.

Hell Theater, on the other hand, sounds JUST LIKE (old) MF, and King Diamond than anything else. Which to me is great, because seeing as how the real MF won't be releasing any more albums, I'd at least like to hear a band that is exactly like them.

Anyone else know of any other groups with 'Fate' fever?

 

[J. Golden]

The Slits : Cut (always brings reflects of being 16 and that punk rock girl I use to know)
Warlord (UK) - s/t damn this is good stuff
Kiss : Destroyer (resurrected) the difference is obvious and it sounds really good
Cynic : Carbon-based Anatomy (guys can do no wrong)
Black Coubtry Communion : s/t (I'll be the one person to say it; "extremely overrated)

 

[Headquake]

Fates Warning-A Pleasant Shade of Gray
Chronical Diarrhoea-The Final Judgement
Rage-Carved in Stone
The Hellacopters-Rock & Roll is Dead
SNFU-Better Than a Stick in the Eye

Fates Warning-A Pleasant Shade of Gray

To this day, I can't listen to this album all the way through. It should have been called "If You Are On The Fence About Whether To Commit Suicide Or Not, This Album Will Help You To Decide - PT I-XII"

Great album, it's just sooooo depressing!

Yeah, VERY dark album for sure. It took me years to get into it.
