  • Description

    'Don’t Break The Oath', the second studio album by Danish heavy metal icons, MERCYFUL FATE, will see a special vinyl repress on November 1st. Initially issued in 1984 through Roadrunner Records, the 2024 reissue celebrates the ground-breaking record’s 40th anniversary!

    Comments Metal Blade founder and CEO, Brian Slagel, “We’re here to celebrate the anniversary of one of the most legendary albums of all-time: MERCYFUL FATE’s Don’t Break The Oath. At Metal Blade, we’re extremely honored and happy to be repressing the album on vinyl and the band will be celebrating the anniversary by releasing a whole bunch of really cool merch. So, check it out, go get the repressing, and enjoy and celebrate the 40th anniversary of Don’t Break the Oath!“

    Adds Nuclear Blast Records head of A&R and former VP of A&R at Roadrunner Records, Monte Conner, “How do you follow up Melissa, one of the greatest metal debuts of all time? An album that features a song called ‘Satan’s Fall,’ that contains enough riffs for any other metal band to have written an entire album from. You follow it up by doing it again a mere year later with Don’t Break The Oath, featuring even better production, and songs that are even more fleshed out and have more meat on the bone. Tracks like ‘Gypsy,’ ‘The Oath,’ and ‘Come To The Sabbath’ are metal classics for the ages, but honestly I could add the other six songs on the album to that list. Every track is an undeniable classic for the ages. They just don’t make albums like this anymore! Having later worked at Roadrunner Records, the label that released this album in 1984, I am thrilled to see it reaching a whole new generation of metalheads 40 years later, and what better label to do the honors than the mighty Metal Blade.”
