 New York, NY (Roadrunner Records) --Blabbermouth reports that Mercyful Fate was presented with the "honor award" at the Danish Metal Awards 2006, which were held on Saturday, November 18 at Amager Bio in Copenhagen, Denmark. Original members Michael Denner (guitar), Hank Shermann (guitar), Timi "Grabber" Hansen (bass) and Kim Ruzz (drums) appeared in public together for the first time in 22 years to accept the award. Vocalist King Diamond was unable to attend the event due to the fact that he is currently working on a new King Diamond album in Dallas, Texas. Visit your digital retailer of choice right now and you'll be able to replace those dusty vinyl albums or sticky CDs with 1983's groundbreaking debut Melissa, 1984's brilliant follow-up and swansong Don't Break the Oath, 1987's early recordings collection, The Beginning, and 1992's vault-clearing rarities set, Return of the Vampire.
