Merciless
Merciless
(not to be confused with France's
Mercyless)
was one of the pioneering early Swedish
death metal bands, forming back in 1986.
Their 1988 demo attracted the interest of none other
than Euronymous, who signed the band to his brand-new
Deathlike Silence
label, and in fact Merciless' debut album,
The Awakening, ended up being the very first release
on Deathlike Silence.
By modern standards it's pretty raw and primitive, but it's
still regarded as an influential album for many Swedish
bands to come.
By the mid-nineties
they were done, but several years
after that they came back together, eventually
recording their comeback album, simply titled
Merciless, in 2004, shifting slightly to a more
death/thrash style.
