Bio: Hank Shermann started playing guitar in March 1977. He soon found his alley in Heavy Metal bands like Judas Priest ,UFO and Scorpions. 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.
Shermann then started to compose MFs music , which later became classic songs for the band. "Evil", "Satans Fall", "Curse of the Pharaohs" and "Desecration of Souls" to name a few. Inbetween recordings and touring with MF, Hank has launched bands like Zoser Mez , Gutrix , Fate and Virus 7. Force Of Evil is now his main focus , and the music has not been any rawer than this Shermann says.
