1.	Message From The Stars 04:26	lyrics	buy track
For ages we have been wondering Looking at the stars Listening to the silence Of the night skies Scanning every quadrant Waiting for a sign Directing our telescopes Up into the night A message from the stars A voice from another world A pattern of waves in space Sign of alien intelligence Shooting away through space For millions and millions and millions of years A trap to lure us A ruse of war? Or a simple greeting From out so far? We must take the risk and find out, travel to the stars We must launch a mighty spacecraft, up into the night A message from the stars A voice from another world
2.	Journey Into Infinity 04:25	lyrics	buy track
The construction took many years Built in orbit around our sphere She’s the wonder of our time Space vessel of steel sublime Well-equipped for interstellar flight Heavy weapons to display our might She will take us into the unknown And her name is Mercurion Into the unknown Journey into infinity Into the unknown A journey through the dark Fragile creatures in a hostile place Facing the hazards of deep space Deadly comets and solar storms Still we travel on to that distant bourne Into the unknown Journey into infinity Into the unknown A journey through the dark Evoke the strangeness Imagine the black Engulfed by the infinite Non-atomic mass Follow the signal No turning back Where will it lead us? Prepare for attack Full of fury, full of pride Forever searching, the stars we ride Ever onwards the path is clear Into the unknown without fear Ion boosters, laser sails Riding on the gravity wave Death and danger lies ahead In the endless sea of black and red Into the unknown Journey into infinity Into the unknown A journey through the dark

4.	The Hunters From Beyond 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Dark sky, cold stars Metal hull, piercing the void Searching extrasolar planets for flesh and blood Discovering the strangeness that lies beyond In the inner reaches of outer space Detecting techno-signatures Shadow of deeper blackness sweeps past A presence of infinite cruelty Ancestral fears Hidden in our genes Awakening from deep within Weapons at the ready Unknown vessels are closing in Hunters from beyond Guardians of the starscape Protectors of truth Out of the darkness they come They are blocking our path Only the worthy shall pass Defenders of the ancient flame The radiant abyss Beckons on the other side Weapons at the ready Unknown vessels are closing in Hunters from beyond
5.	Deep Space Encounter 05:52	lyrics	buy track
Contact!!! Encountering a fleet of alien spacecraft Better shoot first one gunner decides Missiles strike out from Mercurion Aliens are taken by surprise All it takes to start a fire is a single match Hell in space is all around us as their fleet attacks Terrible storm of power Nuclear implosions Battle ships devoured Lazer-powered devastation Raging manifestation Of cold, indifferent iron Hypersonic conflagration Deep space encounter Launch the fighter ships! Show them the strength of Terra’s rage Enemies of all mankind will fall Piercing lazers delivering death Engage! Battle amongst the stars The fighting rages on Only war is constant Wherever we go Launching neutron missiles That light up the black Target destroyed, yet the swarm still comes Deep space encounter Radios fill with alien laughter They are the godz of death and disaster Orders come from their master: “Into battle! Faster, faster!” A swarm of black monstrous things The lurid glow of a myriad wings Harbingers of cosmic sin Bloodstained angels are closing in Overwhelming alien might We can’t hold them back Engines crippled, we cannot flee Trapped in a magnetic field Armoured creatures Blast through the air locks The battle is lost Deep space encounter
6.	Void Prison 03:39	lyrics	buy track
Imprisoned by living nightmares Chasing shadows, gripped by icy cold Visionless dreams, now we are free yet doomed Kept in stasis, far away from home Dark matter, reaching the wall Eternal darkness, to the nightside we fall Wilder dreams getting weirder still Event horizon is keeping us in Suddenly a presence appears A heat wave of searing flames Burning pain, inflicting so fierce Incineration, torturing the brain Spawned from the deepest void of space Creatures of unknown race Feed upon our intelligence Breaking down our last line of defense Their control starts faltering Restraints on our minds is altering We break loose and make our escape Into the darkest of landscapes
7.	Wormhole Escape 04:40	lyrics	buy track
Still stuck in the fortress of void We began our desperate escape Taking a leap into nothingness Through a cosmic rift, away from this place Drifting through time and space, lost in the netherworld A gateway of the warp Last grip of reality, slowly fades away Does it have an end? Whispering shadows, slithering lies Traversing the portals, unlocking the mind Semi-hypnotic waking sleep Searching deep within the deep Discovering the horrors of the warp Swallowed by the vortex, the terror begins Transfixed by the wormhole, time is standing still Something clings on, to the hull of Mercurion It’s a living creature… yet mindless, filled with sin Terrible sounds are coming from the air lock Amorphous sludge, trying to break in Ineffable dread, this is the end Hunger and hatred, it’s feeding on our minds! The plasma fog clears at last, outside the porthole’s glass But the nightmares remain Somehow we made it through, gravity’s darkest depths The wormhole escape
8.	Music From The Spheres 06:57	lyrics	buy track
A speck of dust in an ocean of void A pale blue dot Calling to us across space and time Tellus, our home Listen to the music of the spheres In chaos hidden order revealed The universe unfolds the fabric of space Morphing matter and time Manifestations of ancient truths Opening of the mind Listen to the music of the spheres In chaos hidden order revealed Seeking truth and understanding Our thirst for conquest is never ending All began by the taming of fire Emerging with tools of the trade Mankind sought dominance of all living things As we reaped all the resources And burning down the forests too By greed we sealed our own fate Still we ponder why other galactic entities would see only hostility A destructive force that reaps more than we sow The legacy of our existence Listen to the music of the spheres Lamentation born out of fears Seeking amends and forgiveness Our quest renewed is never ending “It is time for a change!”
9.	Event Horizon 06:19	lyrics	buy track
It's the dawn of a new age, and you will find yourself transformed Robotized evolution leading to a path no man can follow Computer minds tend the wheels of the great world machine Inherit the future, freed from mortal shackles The curse of flesh has been lifted! They are the children of our future We are the echoes of their past Futuristic techno-creatures Homo sapiens dethroned at last Millenia has passed due to the effects of relativity An unknown species greets us Humankind has evolved since we left Earth Merged into one with their machines As humanity starts to fade away They rose above and we were left behind Transcended into cyborg minds They are the children of our future We are the echoes of their past Now we are the aliens Ghosts of outdated flesh Landing with a screech of metal Mercurion will fly no more Greeted by a disturbing sight The survivors can’t believe their eyes Concrete chimneys and towers of steel Reach towards a leaden sky Conveyor belts across the world Law and order controlled by drones Minds uploaded, all is one Freedom devoured, the self is gone

about

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated third album of Sweden’s ARMORY, Mercurion, on CD and vinyl LP

Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden’s ARMORY started out in 2012 and have been delivering hyper-speed metal ever since. After two demos, the debut album World Peace… Cosmic War was released via High Roller Records in 2016, and it garnered great reviews from all around the world. The band then got to share the stage with bigger bands such as Pentagram and Nifelheim.

With all the new experience, ARMORY went into the studio again in late 2017 to record their second album. That album, The Search, was released in July 2018 via High Roller and again did it garner great reviews and proved that the songwriting had developed in the right direction. The band was also able to break new ground outside of Sweden with gigs in Germany, Belgium, and Denmark.

With two albums under their belts, ARMORY were finally ready to make something that they had planned for years but previously didn’t feel they were ready for: a full-blown sci-fi concept album with a story from start to finish. And now it arrives in the form of Mercurion, set to be released by new label home DYING VICTIMS. With this goal in place, this didn’t just put more pressure on the lyrics but also to make the music more dramatic to fit the story – and dazzlingly and dynamically, ARMORY accomplish all that (and more!) across Mercurion. The album takes the listener through a dramatic journey aboard the starship Mercurion, named after the god Mercurius – the winged messenger of the gods, protector of travelers, and god of boundaries between worlds. ARMORY’s now-trademark hyper-speed metal is more powerful and poignant than ever, pushing their boundaries of epic storytelling, mesmerizing hooks, and explosive solos whilst retaining their core sound. The production, in kind, carries the perfect balance of dirt and drama, grime and gleam, making their melodicism sound ever more effervescent while making sure this is the sound of five actual humans playing together as a band.

Now that band is heading out into space, and they beckon you to board Mercurion – ARMORY will guide the way!

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae

Yet another album I’m addicted to. This is definitely one of my favorite NWOTHM releases. It reminds me of being a teenager and discovering Iron Maiden. Love the sci-fi themes. Sludge Mouf
