What do you feel when you listen to this guitar solo? - It feels like flying above mountains, in high speed! It enters your blood and shots your feelings... like a sweet poison, gives you joy and sorrow at the same time! Amazing!
I have never agreed so much with every positive comment on a TH-cam video. Mercenary is back and it is the best news EVER. Everyone here praising this new song is just as bad ass as the band who made it. Long live Mercenary!!
Man...to be honest...10 years ago that the only band I was listening to. Songs ahead of the time...and today I start to listening to again, same feeling
I'm seeing Mercenary next month, as they're coming for the first time in my country. They're awesome, i've been listening to them since my first days as a metalhead. The current Mercenary lineup is as good as ever, and even though Kral and Mikkel gave a different sound, this is Mercenary too. Bashing at Rene is uncalled for, he does a great job for the vocals, though a new clean vocalist will polish the sound better.
I saw them in Vienna. I was really impressed !!! One of the best Metal bands of nowadays !!!! Hope they will come again to Austria ... MARCHING ON FOREVER ....
I've listened to countless melodeath bands from Sweden,Finland and Norway but I've never heard anything from Denmark.I'm quite digging Mercenary.They sound great. Might have to check out their whole discography.
I agree with you, The Hours That Remain, Architect Of Lies and 11 Dreams were their best albums up to date, it was their golden era. As far as this goes, like you said, Metamorphosis was a very poor album, but I think with this album they are back bigger and better than ever, meaning that this was the improvement many of us awaited so long. I'm a long time fan myself as well, so I definitely agree :)
Amazing . Brighter the flame deeper the shadows. Beautiful. Just like Ian Thorpe and grant Hackett. Aust greatest swimmers.. Now struggling. With drug alcohol issues. Deeper the shadows.. Beautiful song. These two guys will still chase the flame. They are champion s.
Interesting take. I think it talks about people who have big dreams and aspirations ( the brighter the flame) and how because of that they have to overcome big obstacles to make them a reality (the deeper the shadow). In short is about not giving up on your dreams =)
Most definitely. Lost Reality is a seriously amazing track. I also love Architect of Lies. I feel it's still their most brutal album to date. It has a very dark and oppressive mood compared to all their other albums. The funny thing is, I started off listening to Metamorphosis before digging deeper. It took a bit of listening before I really started to really love this band, and now I actually prefer Mikkel's vocals over René's.
Damn you're right !!!! There's a lot of bands that I didn't listen to. But thanks to Trivium i got to know this awesome track !!! Props from Poland everybody !!! May the Force (of metal) be with you all !!! :D
I feel that they are going the Insomnium route, consistency over experimentation... This track just feels like a bonus track from 'Metamorphosis'... I just hope they blow my mind with the new album... Either way NEW MERCENARY!!!

This first song already sounds more promising than the whole last album.. This sounds way more like the mercenary i love, but still some way to go. Great song though!
While I definitely agree that René is doing a fantastic job, I still love Mikkel's vocals prior to Metamorphosis. The title tracks from 11 Dreams and The Hours That Remain are easily my favorites out of Mercenary's entire resume of songs. Along with Lost Reality, Embrace the Nothing, Firesoul, and Screaming From the Heavens. René's vocals are great and unique, of course. I just prefer Mikkel's vocals. Hell, Architect of Lies is probably my favorite album if I really had to choose one.
I really like this song. I hope that the rest of the album remains this quality or at least surpass it. But with Mercenary i don't have any fears that it would suck!
I think it becomes to be unanimous that this new album promisses to be so much better than the last one. I can relate when it's said that this ressembles Hours That Remain, for me seem more like a mix between The Hours that Remain and Architect of Lies, the type of lyrics and arrangement from architect of lies, but the music and the heavy part from Hours that Remain
Trust me, the difference in quality is unobtrusive when comparing highest quality of TH-cam (1080p) to the CD. I'd understand what you're pursuing if the resolution was 240p or so since it weakens the audio as well. However to straight up say it sucks seems a little weird.
Except he isn't "wrong". What you hear first is what you hear first, thus it becomes what you are reminded of. Of course Mercenary was there first, but he heard them second, thus they remind him of another band.
I respectfully disagree. The Hours That Remain was Mercenary at their peak and as much as I enjoyed Architect of Lies, it was the beginning of their downfall. I will say though that this album, at least what I've heard so far, is a vast improvement from Metamorphosis, which in my opinion, was their poorest effort to date. Again, this is just an honest opinion from a long time fan of the band, I still support them in all they do and respect their decision to alter their line-up and sound.
What do you feel when you listen to this guitar solo? - It feels like flying above mountains, in high speed! It enters your blood and shots your feelings... like a sweet poison, gives you joy and sorrow at the same time! Amazing!
I'm new to this band but hell yeah I can see that comparison.
I have never agreed so much with every positive comment on a TH-cam video. Mercenary is back and it is the best news EVER. Everyone here praising this new song is just as bad ass as the band who made it. Long live Mercenary!!
We need a new album.
Never heard of these guys until today but if the rest of their material is this good I'll become a fan
Man...to be honest...10 years ago that the only band I was listening to. Songs ahead of the time...and today I start to listening to again, same feeling
@@alessandrofc Any song recommendations?

I think we should take METAL and move it to Austria.

Mercenary is legendary.
Even though they've had massive changes in lienups they still have a unique sound. After 5 seconds you know it's a Mercenary song.
I've listened to countless melodeath bands from Sweden,Finland and Norway but I've never heard anything from Denmark.I'm quite digging Mercenary.They sound great.
Might have to check out their whole discography.
well... the guitar solo is from another galaxy... so intense... makes me fly... feels like love!!!
reaching fot the stars? :)
Thank you Trivium, never heard of these guys before.

I actually bought their last album on a whim but man, did I not regret it. I look forward to this release.
Wow! Love the sound of this band.
Love the solos of each of their songs.
Thanks you Trivium for your post on Facebook! These guys are awesome!
I feel the same way. Lost Reality is definitely up there in my all time metal favorites.

Killer Chorus @ A New Dawn.... They really deserve more likes.... maybe the Label should do some more Commercial or public realation for them.
Amazing . Brighter the flame deeper the shadows. Beautiful. Just like Ian Thorpe and grant Hackett. Aust greatest swimmers.. Now struggling. With drug alcohol issues. Deeper the shadows.. Beautiful song. These two guys will still chase the flame. They are champion s.

Won't lie, I miss Mikkel's vocals a lot, but this isn't so bad. It at least sounds like Mercenary again, and I can't say that about their last album.
thumps up from greece!!!
This first song already sounds more promising than the whole last album.. This sounds way more like the mercenary i love, but still some way to go. Great song though!
I love mercenary and did not need to be told about them- I see hope in their future :D
This kicks ass!
sooooo goood
super cd , very good
MERCENARY and Mors principium Est = Modern extreme Genre of metal returns !
Best of melodic death , nuff said P.S From a Metalhead !
While I definitely agree that René is doing a fantastic job, I still love Mikkel's vocals prior to Metamorphosis. The title tracks from 11 Dreams and The Hours That Remain are easily my favorites out of Mercenary's entire resume of songs.

Hell, Architect of Lies is probably my favorite album if I really had to choose one.
I fuckin' love this band... best I've heard since the late nineties maybe ever
Trivium sent me. Awesome stuff, can't wait to hear the whole album!
Took me 5 years to find this but holy shit this is so good. Wish I would've heard this sooner!
they may still be good, but those newest albums are sadly nothing compared to 11 Dreams or Architect of Lies :/
Big mistake!! I recommend all of their album to you :) It's definitley worth to hear.
Awesome shit guys
I really like this song. I hope that the rest of the album remains this quality or at least surpass it. But with Mercenary i don't have any fears that it would suck!
THIS IS A FUCKING MASTER PIECE! DAAAMN IT!!! \m/
where can we download this song ? its fuckin amazing :D
Este tema es simplemente maravilloso

The is fire 🔥
very good
Ducaraio essa musica... mas os irmãos Sandager fazem muita falta.
I compared the 1080p audio and the downloaded MP3 and to be honest I didn't notice a prominent difference in the quality.
Excuse me sir, how do you know you have one? if you can't see it anymore.
nice metalcore
ΑΡΗ ΣΕ ΛΑΤΡΕΥΩ ΜΩΡΟ ΜΟΥ.
for the soul that I love!

This song is 7 years old?! Wtf have I not heard this before???

🤘
3th of September in Belgrade CANT FUCKING WAIT !!!!!

i think christian alvestams vocals would be perfect in a song like this
The album comes out on my birthday! It has to be a good sign!
Totally agree :P
THIS CAME OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY?! :D
Reminds me of The Unguided, I like this song.
Check out a band called In Mourning
I recommend their album Monolith! Its bawsss
ist vorbestellt
i thought you were trolling for a second there then i heard that line "reach for the stars"haha
Except he isn't "wrong". What you hear first is what you hear first, thus it becomes what you are reminded of.
Of course Mercenary was there first, but he heard them second, thus they remind him of another band.
Exactly what i thought :)

hahahahahahahahahahaha, that was funny! :)
Reminds me of S Club 7.
Way too late to the game but dayum that chorus doesn't get out of my head
the beginning reminds me of maiden...
omg i hadnt seen the super illuminati albumcover 😂
Not bad. But i really miss the old mercenary :3
