In the annals of rock history, the riffs on the album Melissa are underrated to the point of of idiocy. I would say the album is equal to (or even surpasses) other instantly recognizable classics by Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and others of their ilk. Thanks for your contribution to rock and metal guys, you have brought many years of enjoyment to many people!

32 years later and Melissa is indeed still with us

[JoeyArmstrong]

The beginning of "Into the Coven" has to be one of the most sublime pieces of music ever. These two are up there in the pantheon of greats.

I put Denner and Shermann on the same level as KK Downing/Glen Tipton and Dave Murray/Adrien Smith. Iconic riffs and soloing from a guitar duo who complete two sides of the same coin.

Here we see proof that Michael Denner is the essence of Mercyful Fate his tone is so upfront and maintaining the groove and style so cool cool!

NO MERCYFUL FATE REUNION WITHOUT DENNER

[brandonfrey]

Hearing them do Into the Coven was just fucking gorgeous. I felt tears swell up. Brilliant🔥🔥🔥

[alifarhat]

Look at the smiles on their faces while playing the songs, it's beautiful. I love the Melissa album, it changed my life in ways i could have never imagined. The world needs more Mercyful Fate.

[bennyandersen]

I am so glad I still have the record on vinyl. A masterpiece.

[HeavyMetalSonicRM]

Get Denner back in Mercyful Fate before it's too late and rerecored Black Masses for a new album!

[ninjamastergordon]

These guys had the tightest sound of a guitar duo, one of the best I have ever heard. Severely underrated guitarists that deserve praise!! When you go back and listen again, it's simply amazing how technical they were with the rhythms and their leads, all layered so beautifully to perfection.

[brianperry]

These riffs are legendary that intro to Melissa is so clean, and still hits with so much feeling after all this time

Glenn Tipton/KK Downing and Hank Shermann/Michael Denner best guitar duos

[heuwarrior]

A man has to be a genius so he can make a song like Satan's Fall.

[filiplahoda]

Hank Shermann guitar = hell fire
Michael Denner guitar = black magic
together = perfect union
I believe there are some musicians who are destined to play together, so the great peaces of music could be created. By my opinion you two are such musicians. Not many people (if any) were able to create such atmosphere in their music as you did. 

[kevinleonard]

Whenever I pick up my Gibson Flying V, Mercyful Fate riffs magically appear from it!
Denner is a riff master!!!

[dcascato]

Two of my favorites Guitar Gods! Thanks all of you guys! 

[stuckmuffin]

Two of my favorite guitarists of all time...Underrated is a mind numbing understatement

[NM-ibql]

Michael and Hank still have the best synergy of all guitar duos. Even after all those years it is still there. They complement each other perfectly. Their combined sound is so full that words simply can't describe it. Even in this impromptu take they sound so perfect.

I bought "melissa" The year it was released. I was 14 I think? Now I am 44 and I still hear those songs with the same enthusiasm. Definitely one of the best albums in the history of music. Thank you guys!
