The legendary Mercyful Fate song Black Funeral covered by Attic from the Keep It True Festival at Tauberfrankenhalle in Lauda-Königshofen in Germany on April 20, 2013.
Like some others have stated, I have never heard anyone else come remotely close to sounding so authentically King like. If my eyes were shut, I would assume it was him.
I can honestly say that this is not only the most incredible cover I’ve ever heard of black funeral but I’ll go even further to say that Attic are truly the only band that could pull off a merciful fate or king diamond cover successfully. This is proof that they can and certainly do not disappoint. Amazing!
czcams.com/video/8Y9TO-ppO74/video.html czcams.com/video/9CeeH1Q3H54/video.html czcams.com/video/6AA1g_TM2Ik/video.html Just thought i'd link other good king diamond/mercyful fate covers
For anyone who thinks these guys are great, they have two albums called The Invocation and Sanctimonious. Check out another band called THEM as well. They have an album called Sweet Hollow and another album called Manor of the Se7en Gables projected for release in October. And as always, hail King and stay heavy. /m/
I wish I had been there. My friend once said that if Mercyful Fate hadn't spilt up,their 3rd album would've dethroned Metallica. I don't know Attic but this cover is really impressive.
i wanted to like this video but it has 666 likes and it was to perfect. fucking killed the cover too. im a HUGE mercyful fate fan and ever since i found this band ive been a huge fan of theirs too!
A song from a band you might know? Are you kidding? How disrespectful! All the songs I've heard from Attic are total mf/kd rip offs. It's one thing to have influences, it's another to try to copy a band verbatim.
They should cover all the Mercyful fate classics
Holy shit, they kill it! How many bands can claim they can KILL a Mercyful Fate song?
They are a worthy band! Rock on.
They rocked the hell out of it King Diamond has a crazy vocal range 🤘 one of the best covers I’ve ever heard
Dude just NAILS the vocals on this and the band nails the whole song. Respect.
King Diamond would be very proud had he seen this! Great cover!!!!
Probably the best cover Ilisten to of "Black Funeral"!
Paulo Pereira la has escuchado con Therion y Matts Leven? Es el mejor!
Dragonlord is good but very different.
Or the worst.......
Wow!! Been a King fan for years this is incredible!!
Check out Attic's full album "The Invocation"...!
I’ve never heard anyone so spot on to KD. Coming from a huge king and mercyful fate fan
Like some others have stated, I have never heard anyone else come remotely close to sounding so authentically King like. If my eyes were shut, I would assume it was him.
King diamond reborn woooooow all the respect here man \m/

a Mercyful Fate Coverband plays Mercyful Fate
I would like to know what the singer is doing now ing 2015?
***** he´s still with attic
he's still with attic, in fact they just released a new album like a week ago
New album now 2018
ATTIC has 3 full albums out now and an EP
Hellfire, Damnation, & Hail Satan this is good evil music.....Satan would be proud of you
2 justin bieber fans listened to this clip!
Heh..huh..what?...oh shit
Uuhhhhhh its good
Unbelievable
That bass player is no Timi Hansen I could see he missed some notes.
Yep he missed that little riff mid chrous
And unlike King this guy does the vocals on his own without his wife helping him!
Tribute band nothing more!!!!
And more successful at it than anything you've done in life, I bet.
They have 3 brilliant albums and an EP kid how about you?
Keep it true? What does that mean? It seems this bands entire catalog is based on copying mf/kd as close as they possibly can.
it..is..called fuckin WORSHIP ! listen to the new record, they sound different while still showin their love to mf/king. no copy at all.
ATTIC is brilliant. what have you done other than being a Mommas boy?
@@PRHILL9696 being older than 25.
That is sad if true@@seanward7823
Attic is much better than MF/KD
A song from a band you might know? Are you kidding? How disrespectful! All the songs I've heard from Attic are total mf/kd rip offs. It's one thing to have influences, it's another to try to copy a band verbatim.
and again you fuckhead : it was a fucking joke. almost every guy coming to keep it true knows Mercyful fate.
You wet yourself hon?
