Melissa is the debut studio album by the Danish heavy metal band Mercyful Fate, released in 1983. It was the first album released by Roadrunner Records. In 2005 Roadrunner Records re-released this album with several bonus tracks and a bonus DVD. Music is credited to Hank Shermann and lyrics to King Diamond. "Melissa", the first full-length album, was released November 26, 1983. This was also the first Mercyful Fate effort to get an official release in the United States, as the self-titled EP was a highly sought after import, and the BBC sessions were only available on bootleg tapes.
