"some music was meant to stay underground..."  New LP "Through
Our Darkest Days" Announced By Mercenary, Artwork Revealed

the band's seventh album is complete. The album will be entitled
"Through Our Darkest Days." Mixing was completed on April 23,
2013 at Hansen Studios with long time collaborator/producer
Jacob Hansen. The album is set for release through NoiseArt
Records on July 27th (EU) and a week later in the US via
Prosthetic Records.  The album's cover artwork (shown below) was
created by Mircea Eftemie (guitarist of Mnemic), who recently
