Force of Evil

Force of Evil is a heavy metal band composed of five musicians, formed in September 2002 by two of the legendary twin guitarists of Mercyful Fate: Michael Denner and Hank Sherman. They also teamed up with bassist Hal Patino (King Diamond), drummer Bjarne T. Holm (Mercyful Fate) and singer Martin Steene (Ironfire). The band's musical style is classic metal, which includes raw riffs, flamboyant guitar solos, climax and emotion, all topped with sinister and howling vocals. Force Of Evil began recording its first album on March 24, 2003, and it was released on June 13, 2003. On the same day, the band was to play its first world performance in Cleveland, Ohio.
