Danish metallers MERCENARY have completed work on their sixth studio album with
producer Jacob Hansen (RAUNCHY, VOLBEAT, NIGHTRAGE, HATESPHERE, PYRAMAZE).
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."

Jakob Mølbjerg - Guitar
René Pedersen - Bass, Vocals
Martin Buus - Lead Guitar
Morten Løwe Sørensen - Drums
Upcoming MERCENARY shows:
