This week, I'll be spinning the powerful The Awakening the debut album by Swedish death/thrash metal band Merciless. Released in 1990 through the Norwegian label Deathlike Silence (founded by Euronymous of Mayhem), this album is an absolute gem.
The Awakening is a landmark album of the genre, having left a significant impact on the extreme metal scene. Its dark and ominous atmosphere, combined with relentless speed and aggression, makes it a quintessential release that continues to influence bands and captivate listeners
A timeless masterpiece I can never get enough of. My favorite tracks are : Pure Hate, Dying World and Denied Birth. A legendary album you need to hear!
