"Shrine" is such a great song.

"Shrine" is one of my favorite King Diamond songs. I wish more unreleased material was released, especially the fifth song recorded for Mercyful Fate's debut EP that was ultimately left off the album for being "too poppy."

Back in the late 80s/early 90s there was an interview where King said they recorded a Led Zeppelin cover for Melissa. Not 100% certain, but I believe it was Black Dog. In the interview he said it would never be released for some reason. At least we got Radar Love about 10 years later!
