Mercyful Fate - Nuns Have No Fun EP. Near exact vinyl reissue of all-time classic 1982 heavy metal EP from Denmark featuring King Diamond on vocals and the crushing guitars of Hank Shermann and Michael Denner. Mostly forgotten among such praise, yet almost as important, however, was the band's eponymous 1982 EP -- also referred to as Nuns Have No Fun. A truly fascinating and revealing artifact from the Danish group's formative period, the EP opens in rousing fashion with the phenomenally titled "Doomed by the Living Dead," which bears all of the hallmarks that Mercyful Fate's core creative duo of vocalist King Diamond and guitarist Hank Shermann would soon hone to perfection (minus the hooks to qualify it as an actual classic). The far more striking "A Corpse Without Soul" is up next and not only features the first truly dazzling solo from Michael Schenker disciple Michael Denner, but also finds King Diamond experimenting with a number of vocal styles -- something that would become a trademark of his intensely theatrical solo career. Though it is a typical Fate offering in most every other respect, the amusing "Nuns Have No Fun" is of course notable for its unheard of (and hardly ever again repeated) sense of humor, while the final salvo of "Devil Eyes" delivers yet another engaging chorus while highlighting the underrated drumming of the brilliant Kim Ruzz. Quite the collector's piece in the years immediately following Mercyful Fate's breakup, this EP was thankfully made available to the public at large as part of 1987's The Beginning, which, in turn, was later combined with the landmark Melissa as part of Roadrunner's "Two From the Vault" series.
