Info :
MERCILESS' first album The Awakening broke forth into the world in 1990. It also happened to become the very first release on Euronymous' then newly founded infamous label Deathlike Silence Productions. Prior to their legendary Death/Thrash masterpiece, MERCILESS cut their teeth recording two demos, Behind the Black Door and Realm of the Dark. Released in 1987 und 1988 respectively, both are naturally rather raw affairs but what they may lack in proficiency and sound quality, is made up for by unbridled ferocity and MERCILESS' youthful enthusiasm.
These two demos are important historical relics and a peephole into times long past by one of Sweden's pioneering bands that alongside e.g. OBSCURITY or MORBID paved the way for the Swedish (and beyond) Black- and Death Metal scene.
This release will include a 32-page A4 booklet including an in-depth interview with Erik Wallin and many never seen before pictures. A double-sided A2 poster will be added to every vinyl too and a download-code.
All songs have been carefully restored and remastered by Patrick W. Engel at the Temple of Disharmony studio. 300 x transparent black marble vinyl.
