Þetta eru bestu fréttir sem ég hef heyrt í langan tíma! Mercenary eru æðislegir (og mér er sama ef ég hljóma eins og 13 ára smástelpa þegar ég segi það)!

Century Media Press Statement July 2nd - 2004:

Signing News: Mercenary

Emerging initially in the ‘90s and after multiple line-up changes and stylistic re-definitions, it was their classy 2002 album “Everblack” that garnered MERCENARY worldwide praise and attention. The Danish band developed a name by mixing elements from both epic Power Metal and progressive passages with melodically aggressive Thrash/Death Metal rhythms.
Their multi-layered vocals that range from clean signing to extreme shouting give the band a unique edge, always suitably supported by walls of atmospheric keyboards. Developing their trademark sound a step further, MERCENARY have managed to create a very own and challenging metallic style with their new album “11 Dreams”, to be released August 23rd through Century Media Records in Europe.

Guitarplayer Jakob Mølbjerg comments on the newly signed deal as follows:
“We are extremely proud and honoured to be able to announce that we have entered a multi-album worldwide deal with Century Media Records. Signing with the label has always been a dream for us - not only as a label but as a statement that Mercenary has entered a new rank in the world of Metal Music.

Century Media Records is and has always been a stamp of approval and quality and we will make our very best efforts in every area to live up to this compliment shown to us by The Century Family!”

“11 Dreams” comes with a crystal clear production courtesy of Jacob Hansen (Hatesphere, Invocator, Raunchy, etc.), stylish artwork by Niklas Sundin (Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, Arch Enemy, etc.) and includes a surprising cover version of Kent’s hit-single “Music Non Stop”.

Fans of stand-out bands like Nevermore, Angel Dust, Evergrey, Into Eternity and others along those lines will nod with approval about the extremely high quality offering delivered by MERCENARY.

Check out the album's title track “11 Dreams” online to get a taster of the great things to come August 23rd." (Webmasters, feel free to post this link on your sites…)
