Those Who Reign Below is the 8th studio album in the purest tradition of old school death metal, a work of musical impiety, a death metal as hateful as much as aggressive, switching imposing mid-tempos and demonic accelerations, sulphureous melodies and vocals straight from the devil's forge. An aura of evil surrounds each track, in a veritable debauchery of hate that gives the impression of having witnessed the manifestation of the devil.
This album represents the extreme and uncompromising side of MERCYLESS, which has grown steadily over the years, in a blasphemous symphony inherited from the 90s Death Metal.
The cover was designed by Mexican artist Nestor Avalos, whose talent represents all the darkness emanating from this album. The production was entrusted to Raph Henry of HELDSCALLA studio, who sculpted a sound highly representative of the violence and anger of this extreme and irreligious music.
It's a tribute to the underground, to the man who blends in with the crowd and takes on a presence so frightening that he's so clearly recognizable... the Devil... on his throne, majestic and merciless!"
300x heavyweight bloodred 12" (180g) in a microtene innerbag, printed innersleeve, full-color on 220g carton, download card, gatefold jacket, full-color pinted on 350g carton, all assembled in a plastic overbag.
Reissue of MERCYLESS‘ 1993 second full-length, “Coloured Funeral”
After their mind-blowing debut, “Abject Offerings” released in 1992 through Vinyl Solution (BOLT THROWER, CANCER, MACABRE…), MERCYLESS signed to Century Media (ASPHYX, GRAVE, UNLEASHED…) and released their second full-length, “Coloured Funeral“, keeping all of previous album’s brutality, heaviness, catchiness and melodies, but pushing it all to the next level with more intricate riffing and song-structures and an overall darker and more mature feel to it making this release not only an other highlight of the band’s discography but also a classic of the whole Death Metal genre, quickly followed by countless tours and gigs with DEATH, GRAVE, TIAMAT, UNLEASHED and many more.
