After discussing the new Denner / Shermann EP, 'Satan's Tomb,' Hank Shermann talked about the early days of Mercyful Fate and gushed over his guitar influences.
Michael Denner and Hank Shermann were part of some of the most iconic metal albums of all time. They were the guitarists for Mercyful Fate when the band released their seminal albums Melissa and Don't Break the Oath.
When listening to Danish act Volbeat, it's clear that the band was influenced by great number of bands and genres, and frontman Michael Poulsen says that fellow Danish rocker King Diamond and his influential band Mercyful Fate are among the acts that truly inspired him.
