The 1984 Principle - Pt. I: Mercyful Fate - Dont Break the Oath The 1984 Principle is based on my own personal belief that 1984 was, and remains, the best year for heavy metal of the pre-thrash variety (though to be sure a number of thrash bangers and proto-black metal records also appeared on the scene) and represents the apex of the art form in its purest state. A high water mark that produced familiar classics and cult favorites alike. Tonights selection is from Mercyful Fates opus Dont Break the Oath. From the cover the Horned One himself issues his grim warning and within one can expect similar occult nastiness from screeching ghoul priest, King Diamond, the neo-classical double axe attack of Messrs Shermann and Denner, and the surprising ass shaking rhythms of Hansen and Ruzz.
