The rumbling terror emanating from the metal underground over the last year can be contained no more.... thrash metal is back with a vengeance and MERCILESS DEATH are here to make it official.

Tired of the bland, generic background noise that much of death metal has become, a small contingent of headbangers in Los Angeles set out to re-create the power and excitement that was the burgeoning California thrash metal scene of the mid-l980’s, originally pioneered by legendary bands such as SLAYER, METALLICA, EXODUS, DARK ANGEL and many others. The shockwaves from this new scene have traveled quickly and are being felt in all corners of the world, helping fuel the spreading fire that is oldschool metal, spawning a new generation of bands and fans throughout the US, Europe, South America, and Asia.

With a combination of speed, aggression and hooks not heard since legendary 80’s albums such as SLAYER’s “ ”hell awaits” or EXODUS’ “bonded by blood”, MERCILESS DEATH have arrived to take their throne as the unparallelled leaders of the fast-growing thrash metal revival with ”EVIL IN THE NIGHT”
