Mercenary - Metamorphosis (Album Trailer)

MERCENARY COMBINE THEIR PAST WITH THEIR FUTURE!

Through the last decade Danish metallers Mercenary have been one of the most active and successful proponents of the rising Danish metal scene. In the course of releasing 5 studio albums, which earned the band increasing critical acclaim for their distinctive blend of aggression and big soaring melodies, the band earned a still wider international audience and dedicated fanbase. Mercenary have toured actively as support for top metal acts like Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Nevermore, King Diamond, Death Angel and many more.

Behind the stage, however, deep creative and personal differences increased through the years, and they culminated when the drummer, the keyboardplayer and one of two singers left the band in late 2009. Joined by master drummer Morten Løwe, the band now counts the songwriting team of original member Jakob Mølbjerg (guitar) and mastershredder Martin Buus (leadguitar), as well as the versatile singer/bassist René Pedersen.

STRONGER, FASTER & MORE UNIFIED THAN EVER!

Rising from the ashes of the old lineup, the Mercenary of 2011 evolves and reshapes the band's trademark sound of combined clean and aggressive vocals with a new edge, displaying a catchy and fresh sound, as well as an newfound unity, ambition and musical focus within their ranks.
FROM ASHES A NEW DAWN AWAKES!

Mercenary's new album, entitled 'Metamorphosis', was recorded in June - September 2010 and mixed in July with Danish producer Jacob Hansen.

The album thematise not only the very evolution of the band itself into the new incarnation, but also issues of personal change and the responsibility of the choices we make, the strength of will and personal resolve it takes to overcome existential obstacles and doubts, and the challenges of staying true and dedicated to personal values and beliefs.

"Metamorphosis" will be released on February 25th (Denmark February 21st) via NoiseArt Records in Europe and on March 29th via Prosthetic Records in the United States.
