I was having a look on blabbermouth.net and there was a story on there stating:

King Diamond has told BT.dk that there is a good chance that a new studio album from his classic heavy metal act MERCYFUL FATE will surface at some point in the not-too-distant future.

“Hank [Shermann, guitar] has written songs [for the proposed MERCYFUL FATE CD]. And he is ready for our new masterpiece,” King Diamond is quoted as saying.

That, of course, is great news. I’ve been a fan of Mercyful Fate and King Diamond since my best friend bought a copy of Don’t Break The Oath back when it first came out.

Mercyful Fate haven’t put out an album since 9 came out in 1999. So if there is a new Mercyful Fate release next year I will party like it’s…uh…1999.

Then the VERY NEXT story says:

DEMONICA, the solo project of MERCYFUL FATE guitarist Hank Shermann, is putting the finishing touches on its debut album for a tentative late spring/early summer release via an as-yet-undisclosed label. The CD will be mixed in February in Denver, Colorado.

Which leaves the Metalblog wondering if somebody somewhere got there wires crossed or if Hank Shermann suddenly turned into a song writing monster cranking out enough tunes for not only a new Mercyful Fate album, but for an album from his side project Demonica as well.
