MERCYFUL FATE guitar lengends Michael Denner and Hank Shermann will release their new DENNER / SHERMANN full-length album, “Masters Of Evil“, on June 24 via Metal Blade Records.
The music video for the album track “Son Of Satan” can be seen online. Swedish director Owe Lingwall shot the clip entirely at studio 1646 in Umeå in Northern Sweden.
The album cover was painted by Swedish artist Thomas Holm, who also created the “Satan’s Tomb” artwork, and who is very well known amongst fans for his standout pieces over the past three decades!
The mixing was once again handled by Arnold Lindberg at Sound Industry Studio in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Mastering was done once again by Maor Appelbaum in Los Angeles, California. The vintage sound on the new record harkens one back to the days of two-inch tape machines, long nights in dark studios, and huge consoles glowing under dim incandescent light.
“Masters Of Evil” contains eight new Denner / Shermann tracks that continue right where the EP left off.
Building upon the musical foundation of the “Satan’s Tomb” EP, these songs cover the entire gamut of heavy metal nuances and take the listener down a mysterious path where tales of dark, supernatural fantasies are told, transporting you to places that can only be found in the most vivid, blood curdling nightmares.
“Masters Of Evil” is fully loaded to satisfy the old fans with just what they would expect — and also injected with menacing, sinister, new surprises that could only come from the sonic DNA of Michael Denner and Hank Shermann.
