5.0 out of 5 stars Death metal with a doom edge, April 18, 2007
This review is from: Mercenary (Audio CD)
Easily one of the best death metal albums ever
if you get tired of hearing the same old thing in the
death metal genre. Really doomy edge, with enough groove
and interesting twists on the usual stuff to keep
things moving. Great album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow... just wow!, November 30, 2000

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mercenary (Audio CD)
This CD is simply amazing! I purchased it nearly a year ago, and it still gets heavy rotation in my CD player!

Though not typically a fan of the "Death metal/grindcore" genre of music, Bolt Thrower pulls it off in a way that makes it enjoyable anyway. "Mercenary" takes you inside the mind of a military man who is trained to do nothing but kill, and boy do they do a good job!

Highly brutal, each song is a masterful portrayal of what it is like to be on the killing fields. This non-stop barrage of pounding guitars, thrashing drums, and growled vocals gives one the feeling of the anger and hatred coursing through the veins of a man at war.

Brutally honest, each song tells the listener of how the evils of war work on the minds of mankind. Songs like "Zeroed" speak of the deaths on a battlefield in a negative, sometimes sarcastic way. "Reduced to Zero... the sum of mankind." With lyrics like that, one gets a bleak view of what the future holds for humanity we allow the destruction to continue.

I would recommend this to ANY fan of any sort of metal, or just heavy music in general. This album is a masterpiece sure to please all who listen!
