Quotes on ‘Through Our Darkest Days’

Matt Heafy (Trivium):
“The Kings of Danish Metal have returned with another incredible record, Through Our Darkest Days. Their seventh effort is still very much of what new and old fans have always loved in Mercenary – only this time the band can be seen traversing new realms of melody in an almost old school Metal approach (in their very own modern way of course). The song writing is as air-tight as the riffs, the vocals are staggering in their range and versatility. Whether into the old, the new, or the middle-ground… any who call Metal a genre they love must be into this band.”

Ward Slojkowski (Psychotic Waltz):
“Through Our Darkest Days” is the best thing I have heard from my friends from Denmark, Mercenary. Strong tracks from beginning to end. Very solid effort here. Tight rhythms , killer vocals , excellent guitar solos, memorable songs…what more could you want? Fucking buy it now! \m/”

Merlin (Eluveitie):
“I’ve long been a sucker for epic guitar solos and displays of outstanding musicianship. Mercenary get all this just right, while delivering massive punch along with it and always staying musical!”
