Edited 2 months agoFantastic album as always ! Guitar sound is massive similar to Incubus album Beyond the unknown.
It is a pity that Martin Van Drunen never released with them any random album, only live tours.. Vocal are great here, no doubt, but Drunen is Drunen. -
Edited 3 years agoThe PERFECT Bolt Thrower album. Stripped down songs to the minimum, NO unnecessary bullshit in the songs, BUT masterfully crafted by the principle of "just enough", while keeping ONLY The Best content on it & thus crafting it into a 100% PERFECT album from start to finish. COS of this it's immediately memorable & EVERY second on it is a mindblowing experience of carefully selected PERFECT material (some of THE BEST Bolt Thrower material written here) - EVERYTHING else was Laid to Waste. Only true Masters can do this. It's EASY to make an album and cram it with lots of stuff until there's NO MORE room for nothing. BUT it's much harder to make a minimalist album that's "IT"! That's TOTALLY "IT"!!! And Mercenary is SUCH AN ALBUM! EVERYTHING on it is P.E.R.F.E.C.T. The ONLY thing missing: Andy Whale. With HIM on board Mercenary could've been perhaps THE No.1 Bolt Thrower album (well, at least levelled with Realm of Chaos). But EVEN without Him, it's STILL PERFECT. Yes, IT'S THAT GOOD! To The Last! -
