Mercyful Fate es una banda de estilo Heavy Metal con letras oscuras, la cual fue y sigue siendo la herencia musical y artística de la mayoría de los grupos de Heavy Metal y Black Metal principalmente. En la lírica se puede encontrar temas sobre misas negras y de adoración al demonio. La música juega con melodías lentas y rápidas, también se puede apreciar un marcado Hard Rock Progresivo es sus ritmos (como en el track Satan´s Fall). Comandada por el carismático King Diamond, personaje artístico de Kim Bendix Petersen que favoreció al crecimiento de la escena Black Metal escandinava.
Fundado en Copenhague (Dinamarca) en 1980, experimentan un gran auge en la escena "metalera" europea (como son Raunchy y Mnemic), llamando la atención de los jóvenes por sus poderosos, siniestros y emocionantes temas, gracias a la habilidad del guitarrista Hank Shermann (nombre real Rene Krolmark) y destacando la particularidad vocal de King Diamond (nacido como Kim Bendix Petersen).
