NEW MERCENARY ALBUM ON THE WAY!

We loves us some Mercenary – seriously, I can’t speak for Vince or Kip, but they might be my favorite power metal band out there right now; they make me wanna joust and fuck and cry and sacrifice myself in order to destroy a giant asteroid that’s heading for Earth all at the same time, which is, uh, a wonderfully confusing range of emotions to feel whilst listening to rock music. So this update from front man Mikkel Sandagger makes my naughty parts tingle:

“So now we have the finished the new album and it is fucking killer!! The best one we did yet, in my honest opinion. It is much more raw and to the point and still it has the best melodies we have ever written…

“…The album will contain over 60 minutes of kick-ass tracks.

“Damn, I am so much looking forward to getting out there and play all of this live.”

Over 60 minutes of new material? EGADS! I really, really want this band to tour the States. In the meantime, I’ll settle for this video for the band’s track “Firesoul.”
