By US standards Denmark is pretty close to Great Britain, the Vikings never had far to travel

Mercyful Fate were really a style unto themselves especially with the vocals of King Diamond. The only album of theirs that I like is Breaking the Oath. I`m one of those people who can only stand King Diamond`s vocals for a very short period of time anyway. Mercyful Fate though, were an important band as they kind of bridged the gap between the NWOBHM and the future extreme metal genres.
