The Merciless

MARKING 20 YEARS SINCE RELEASE, THE CULT 2004 ALBUM OF SUPREME BLACKENED THRASH FROM THE NORWEGIAN PIONEERS - PRESENTED ON LIMITED SILVER VINYL.

Norway's Aura Noir was formed in 1993 by Aggressor & Apollyon in pu.rsuit of a more thrash-based form of black metal than much of what was coming out at the time - particularly in their homeland - citing bands such as Slayer, Sodom & Kreator as inspirations along with purveyors of the scene such as Venom, for a dirtier, stripped down, violent black/thrash metal sound. Their first official release was the 'Dreams Like Deserts' EP on Hot Records in 1995, followed by the genre classic 'Black Thrash Attack' & from there-on Aura Noir has become a leading act of the scene.

Aura Noir, consisting of revered members from other leading acts such as Mayhem, Cadaver & Dodheimsgard, developed a strong underground fan base over the years through relentless live work & unwavering dedication to the dark & ugly thrash of the old masters of the 80's. 'The Merciless' was the band's brutal 2004 masterpiece & the first release on Darkthrone's Peaceville imprint, which was known as Tyrant Syndicate.

This vinyl edition of 'The Merciless' marks 20 years since its original release, is presented on limited silver vinyl & contains the additional track 'Sulphur Void'.
