Mercyful Fate: In The Shadows cd 1993

Saksa-painos. Lähes uudenveroinen. Cd 2014.

Originally released on 22th of June 1993 in the UK by Metal Blade Records.

This is the first album since the reunion of the band in 1992 and the final album Timi Hansen would appear on before his death in 2019. Unlike previous Mercyful Fate albums, which were entirely centered around lyrical themes of Satanism and the occult, the lyrics on this album are rather focused on more conceptual horror-themes, akin to King Diamond's work with his eponymous band. The band would return to a primarily occult/Satanic lyrical approach the following year on the, Time album released in 1994.

"Return of the Vampire... 1993" is are-recording of the song "Return of the Vampire", featuring Lars Ulrich of Metallica on drums, originally released on Return Of The Vampire.
