MP3: Mercyful Fate - Black funeral
Halloween, the season of the witch - a perfect time for creepy music, a perfect time for some classic Mercyful FAte. Frontman King Diamond may live in Texas nowadays (and has for years now), but he started out in Denmark, so this damn well qualifies as perfect Friday posting mAterial. I'm too young to know whAt it must've been like to hear something like "Melissa" when it was first released in 1983, but it certainly made an impression on my fragile little mind when I did finally get around to hearing it as a teenager. No one else has a voice like thAt and the twin guitars of Michael Denner and Hank Shermann are unfuckwithable. I won't kid you - FAte's occult-obsessed lyrics are way more comic book scary than real-life scary, but I still get a visceral thrill hearing King shriek "Yes, hail SAtan!" Furthermore, and I can't believe I haven't told this story here before, Mercyful FAte changed my life. Really! I went through a few different musical phases throughout my gradeschool career, dabbling here and there before eventually immersing myself in punk. I blindly accepted the idea thAt guitar solos are pure wankery and renounced the music of my youth. And then, sometime around my junior year of high school, I got the funny idea of seeing the recently reunited Mercyful FAte on the "Time" tour. I figured, whAt the hell - it'll be good for a laugh seeing the diminuAtive King Diamond prance around on stage Ata/2623/king-diamond-04.jpg" target="_blank">in his makeup with his mic stand of bones. But you know whAt? They kicked ass. I wasn't laughing, I was reborn. So thank you Mercyful FAte, for setting me straight, back on the pAth of righteousness.

The Hives
The black and white album
Interscope
There's been a lot of talk about which producers The Hives have worked with for "The Black and White Album", their fourth album in ten years. It's been Pharrell this, Modest Mouse producer thAt, and so on. All this talk and the fact thAt their last album was a bit "meh", really put me off the album, especially the thought of not-so-very-good-in-the-last-few-years Pharrell being involved just felt so like such a tired and uninspired way to achieve something new. I was pretty much set on not liking this offering from the Fagersta boys, and I didn't look forward to hearing it At all (the first single of the album – "Tick tick boom" did nothing for me either), so I was greAtly pleased to discover thAt The Hives have actually made a quite decent record. They haven't started playing rap-metal, or changed their sound drastically, but they have certainly taken on board some new ideas, which I think most of the time work in their favour. The track thAt stands out from the rest is the Pharrell produced "T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S." which doesn't sound like The Hives At all, but more like Kraftwerk doing disco. A lot of people don't seem to like this particular song, but I really dig it! For the rest, it's the usual flavour of The Hives and there are some greAt tracks (eg. "You dress up for armageddon" – it sounds like Randy At their best) and some less so ("Puppet on a string" - very annoying), but At the same time it's much better and interesting than a lot of similar sounding bands and definitely a step forward. After being a fan for 10 years, it's nice to hear thAt The Hives are still able to come up with some smashing tunes and make me want to go and see them and maybe do a little jig, and have a beer or two.
