MERCENARY Singer On New Record - "This Album Will Be Somewhat Harder And Heavier Than The Hours That Remain"
November 3, 2007, 17 years ago
Vocalist Mikkel Sandager of Danish metallers MERCENARY has issued the following update:
"Today is quite a big day for me as I finished the final clean parts ad did all of my screaming parts for the next Mercenary album. The album has a title but that's not official yet. I think it is safe to say that this album will be somewhat harder and heavier than The Hours That Remain. Not just because the music is more heavy but also because we have a powerhouse shouter/growler in René. I am telling you he's one mean guy! Now I am left with a somewhat strange feeling of the album being incomplete because it still needs all keyboards, bass and leads. Usually the vocals are the final thing to be recorded but we have done it a bit different this time. Oh and I have not been tracking my vocals with Jacob Hansen this time. I have been doing it a bit closer to home with a very good friend of ours. Casper Skafte is making a living as an independent sound engineer and you should check out his website. Although it has been somewhat strange to me not to be in the usual surroundings we have had a great time and Skafte is truly gifted in making vocal arrangements (I swear some even sound classical on this album.). This album will be dark my friends so brace your selves! But even though it will be black it will have endless melodies that you will never forget (If you could only figure out the hints in this last sentence)."
