Force of Evil (band)

Force Of Evil is a 5-piece Heavy Metal band formed by the legendary twin guitarists of Mercyful Fate, Michael Denner and Hank Shermann. They joined forces with Hal Patino, Bjarne T. Holm and Martin Steene, all known for their performance with King Diamond, Mercyful Fate and Ironfire.

The band's style of music is classic power metal, which encompasses raw riffing, piercing guitar solos, climax, and emotion, all topped with sinister and screaming vocals that are delivered explosively on stage.
