September 5, 2008, 16 years ago
Danish metallers MERCENARY's contribution to the upcoming Century Media Records 2-disc compilation, Covering 20 Years Of Extremes, due for release September 15th in Europe, October 14th North America, is now streaming online.
Check out Mercenary's cover of ARCH ENEMY's 'Burning Angel' at this location.
As previously reported, Covering 20 Years Of Extremes, the various artists covers-release includes 32 mostly exclusive recordings and will be available in stores for the price of one CD. Sticking to the “keep it in the family” slogan, CM approached their artists about covering songs from other acts within the label’s repertoire and the response from the musicians was overwhelming.
Some choices were obvious and homages to the bands that influenced them, others were inspired picks. This combination ended up leading to a heavily entertaining and truly special final result across all sub-genres of heavy music.
