Released in June 1993, In the Shadows marks the glorious return of Mercyful Fate after almost a decade apart. From the crushing opener “Egypt” to the sinister re-recording “Return of the Vampire… 1993” (featuring Lars Ulrich on drums), every track drips with classic Mercyful Fate occult grandeur: King Diamond’s legendary falsetto, the dual-guitar wizardry of Shermann and Denner, and horror-themed lyrics taken to new heights. Highlights include the epic “The Old Oak,” the haunting “The Bell Witch,” and the atmospheric instrumental “Room of Golden Air.” Produced by Tim Kimsey and mixed by Flemming Rasmussen, the album sounds massive yet retains the band’s signature darkness. In the Shadows proved Mercyful Fate were back stronger than ever and remains a cornerstone of 90s heavy metal.
