Merciless Death
Merciless Death is an American Thrash Metal band from Canyon Country, California USA.
History
Originally founded by Dan Holder and Andy Torres, they were soon joined by Andy's brother Cesar on Drums and Mike Griego on Rhythm/Lead guitars. Mike eventually quit due to personal differences. After recording a self-released Demo, Annihilate the Masses, and self-released album Evil In The Night, the band soon signed to Heavy Artillery Records and re-released their debut album Evil in the Night with a new layout and cover artwork by Ed Repka (Evildead, Megadeth, Nuclear Assault, Toxik, Venom).
Merciless Death appears on the Speed Kills…Again compilation with Avenger of Blood, Enforcer, Hatred, Toxic Holocaust, and Warbringer. They toured the US in August and September of 2007 to promote the critically acclaimed re-release of Evil In The Night and supported At War in October 2007.
Some have guessed that the name "Merciless Death" comes from the song Merciless Death by Dark Angel. However, in an interview with Andy Torres in 2007 and available here, Andy said the band's name originated from a conversation with Dan Holder in which Dan came up with a possible name for the band “Merciless Onslaught” and Andy asked him about replacing the word 'Onslaught' with 'Death'. From that point on they called themselves “Merciless Death”.
