Biography

The French stage Death-Metal gave birth to a trio of trainings today acknowledged at international level: Massacra, Loudblast and Agressor. It is to forget quickly number of other trainings of type which formed towards the end of the years 80 / beginning the nineties with the intention of breaking all necks vigorously in mile from here and besides. Number of them, however promising, others disappeared in limbs after some démos, manages to take out an album before splitting up and then there is Mercyless, group which was considered for a long time as the French relay of the three legends.

Formed in 1987 in Mulhouse under the patronymic of Merciless (that they fast had to change because of homonymy with the Swedish legend of Death / Thrash), Mercyless is then composed of Max Ottero (growling and guitar), (low) Stephane Viard (guitar), Boris Mandavis and Gerald Guenzi (drums).The group alternate between local concerts and repetitions, recording 2 démos which make speak about him (“Immortal Harmonies” in 1988 and ” Visions From The Past ” in 1989). influence of their music is rather classical for epoch: Death-metal typical of the US/Florida style, with a big dose of german Thrash.

It is nevertheless this démos which allow the group to make point out, with some others, by the quality-label Jungle Hop (a sub-division of the mythical Punk label New Rose) which is thinking to build up a Metal sub-label. This one, named Virulence Records, will make its first (and alas last) weapon with a today mythical compilation in the French extreme Underground: ” Total Virulence “.

    Le concert à Lille prévu le 17 Septembre a été annulé car une date à Lille était déjà prévue par l'asso Metal Attakk le Vendredi 22 Octobre à La Chimère avec AFFLICTION GATE. Les 2 organisateurs se sont mis d'accord d'ailleurs et travaillerons ensemble sur cette date. Merci de faire la correction nécessaire dans la rubrique concerts, svp.
