HANK SHERMANN started playing guitar in March 1977. He soon found his alley in Heavy Metal bands like Judas Priest, UFO and Black Sabbath. His first ever recording was in 1978 with the band called Brats. Michael Denner then joined the band and they released an album in 1980. Soon after the band broke up, MERCYFUL FATE came to surface in early 1981 , when singer King Diamond joined the band..starting a new breed in heavy metal music.
Shermann started to compose MF's music , which later became classic songs for the band. "EVIL", "SATAN'S FALL", "CURSE of the PHAROAHS" "BLACK FUNERAL" and "DESECRATION of SOULS" to name a few.
In between recordings and touring with MERCYFUL FATE , Hank has launched bands like Zoser Mez , Gutrix , Fate and Virus 7 and FORCE OF EVIL. Production and songwriting with San Francisco Riot Grrrl RACHELLE RAMM with Debut Album "CITY OF SIN" from 2008. Currently I'm recording with my new band DEMONICA , style is Thrash Metal. Recordings are ongoing through February and March...more info coming soon, stay tuned.....
