Melodic death-metal enthusiasts Mercenary have teamed with Revolver magazine to present the epic, crowd-sourced music video for "Welcome The Sickness," a track from their critically acclaimed 2013 release, Through Our Darkest Days. The video was shot in just one day with director/producer Mircea Gabriel Eftemie (Mnemic), who was also responsible for the album's mystic cover artwork.
The band commented: "We're immensely proud to be able to present our new video for 'Welcome The Sickness.' It's been a great and fun experience making this possible through a crowdfunding campaign and interacting with the fans in a whole new way. We are very grateful for the support, as we would never have been able to finance a visit in Denmark's biggest greenscreen studio with professional lights and makeup followed by two months of post production on our own. Moreover, we are really really happy with the striking, atmospheric, and visually dramatic way in which director Mircea Eftemie made our musical universe come to life. Without an incredible amount of hard work on his behalf, this video wouldn't have been possible either, so please send a lot of kudos his way."
The band will be appearing at festivals throughout Europe this summer/fall including:
6/12 Refshaleoen, DK - Copenhell Festival (with Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Bad Religion)
6/21 Duisburg, DE - Rage Against Racism Festival
8/23 Nijverdal, NL - Tattoofest

"The song tells a story so we wanted to make a video with a narrative to help convey the message of the lyrics," drummer Mike Meselsohn comments. "It's about addiction and flirting with the consequences of living life on the edge. It's a cautionary tale complete with sex, drugs, and one badass muscle car!"
