Today, Osmose Productions announces October 25th as the international release date for the highly anticipated eight album of France’s Mercyless, Those Who Reign Below, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Those Who Reign Below is the eighth studio album of Mercyless in the purest tradition of old-school death metal, a work of musical impiety, a death metal as hateful as much as aggressive, switching imposing mid-tempos and demonic accelerations, sulphureous melodies and vocals straight from the Devil’s forge. An aura of evil surrounds each track, in a veritable debauchery of hate that gives the impression of having witnessed the manifestation of the Devil.
This album represents the extreme and uncompromising side of Mercyless, which has grown steadily over the years, in a blasphemous symphony inherited from the ’90s death metal scene.
The cover was designed by Mexican artist Nestor Avalos, whose talent represents all the darkness emanating from this album. The production was entrusted to Raph Henry of Heldscalla Studio, who sculpted a sound highly representative of the violence and anger of this extreme and irreligious music.
It’s a tribute to the underground, to the man who blends in with the crowd and takes on a presence so frightening that he’s so clearly recognizable… the Devil… on his throne, majestic and merciless!
First track premiere to be revealed on September 24th. Preorder info can be found HERE. Aforementioned cover artwork and tracklisting are as follows:
