MERCENARY: New Song Available For Streaming On MySpace
December 23, 2010A new song from Danish melodic death metallers MERCENARY entitled "The Follower" is available for streaming below. The track, which was premiered during the Danish radio show "Sort Søndag", comes off MERCENARY's sixth album, "Metamorphosis", which will be released on February 25, 2011 via NoiseArt Records. The CD was produced by Jacob Hansen (RAUNCHY, VOLBEAT, NIGHTRAGE, HATESPHERE, PYRAMAZE). In addition, the group has been confirmed for the "Power Of Metal Tour 2011" alongside SYMPHONY X, NEVERMORE, PSYCHOTIC WALTZ and THAUROROD.
Commented guitarist Jakob Mølbjerg: "'The Follower' is a taste of things to come from MERCENARY's sixth studio album, 'Metamorphosis'. The song represents a more straightforward, accessible side of MERCENARY's new sound while it also allows singer René Pedersen to display new and more melodic aspects of his vocal range. Rest assured, however, that the album will also have far heavier and faster songs, providing the characteristic contrasts of MERCENARY's sound."
According to a press release, "the new incarnation of MERCENARY displays a newfound musical focus, appetite and maturity, and while the material is now heavier and faster, it still features the characteristic clean vocals, catchy choruses and atmospheric keyboards and samples. (Keyboards provided by guest musician Kim Olesen of ANUBIS GATE)."
MERCENARY in January announced the addition of drummer Morten Løwe Sørensen (THE ARCANE ORDER, SUBMISSION, SLUGS) to the group's ranks. The band has also revealed that all lead vocals going forward will be handled by MERCENARY bassist/vocalist René Pedersen following the departure of singer Mikkel Sandager. The group says, "As everybody who has seen us live in the last couple of years is fully aware of, René is a real powerhouse, and he has so much more under his belt than he got to display on the previous album."
MERCENARY 2010 is:
Jakob Mølbjerg - Guitar
René Pedersen - Bass, Vocals
Martin Buus - Lead Guitar
Morten Løwe Sørensen - Drums
