Like frozen giants breaking out of their year-long slumber, the veterans of dark melodic metal MERCENARY are once again rising from the depth of the Danish soil, resurfacing to rekindle the flames of hope amidst the cold harsh realities of modern existence with an offering of colossal dark melodic metal. For decades, MERCENARY has been a relentless titan of the Danish metal scene and their albums have been highly acclaimed by fans and media alike, and their characteristic mix of huge, epic melodies and aggression has brought them appearances on some of the biggest festival stages as well as headliner tours in Europe and Japan and support slots for bands such as MEGADETH, ARCH ENEMY, NEVERMORE, KING DIAMOND, SYMPHONY X and DARK TRANQUILITY. Now, in 2023, MERCENARY is back for more with a darker, harder and more aggressive sound to fit the end times unfolding around us. With their new album ”Soundtrack for the End Times” released in 2023 MERCENARY return with a masterpiece for every melodic death & progressive metal fan. Loyal fans and newcomers alike will be drawn to the flame by the distinctive mixture of elements that is the band's biggest asset: an organic diversity of stellar and memorable melodic vocals combined with crushing shouts and growls from René Pedersen, soaring head-turning leads from world-class lead guitarist Martin Buus, all wrapped up in dark electronics and neck-breaking rhythms and riffage from guitarist Jakob Mølbjerg and drummer Martin Nielsen.
