| Saturday, July 3, 2004 - Mercenary signs with Century Media | Century Media Press release:
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.
