Maceration - Mercy To The Miserable” - CD/Vinyl

Danish death metal veterans MACERATION announce the release of their fourth full-length album, “Mercy to the Miserable”. Featuring eight brand-new tracks, the album further develops the band’s old-school death metal sound, combining crushing brutality, speed and melody with the unmistakable Swedish HM-2 guitar tone.
For “Mercy to the Miserable”, Maceration have taken another step forward, joining forces with renowned producer Lawrence Mackrory of Rory Sound. Known for his work with Paradise Lost, Bloodbath, Meshuggah, Vomitory, Lik and many others, Mackrory has mixed and mastered the new album. “We have had a collaboration with Dan Swanö for a long time and he has delivered and shaped our sound since we came back. He has produced two records that sound amazing,” says guitarist Jakob Schultz.
“With the new album we wanted to try something new and see what it could do for the sound and the music. We could have easily continued with Swanö, but we think it would be exciting to work with Mackrory. He has produced some fantastic records and can create a sound that we think really fits Maceration perfectly. And we have not regretted it. The new album sounds exactly as we had hoped”.
“Mercy to the Miserable” sees Maceration combining brutality and speed with melodic and catchy riffs. From the fast and direct attack of “The Fall of Virtue” to the heavier “Mind in a Chokehold” and the melodic yet brutal title track, the album represents a natural evolution of the band’s established sound while retaining its old-school identity.
