Swedish Metal MLP and Witchburner LP are among the best heavy metal records to come out of Sweden besides the first Candlemass record. Anyone else worship this great band? I love how amateurish Swedish Metal sounds.

Yeah, those two are great. Swedish Metal is horrible in a good way. Don't stop heavy guitar!!!!
I like King Doom as well. Still need to get that one on vinyl.

Vocals on Swedish Metal is so good. He obviously sucks at singing.

Actually there are some great swedish hardcore/punk bands! Really dirty, nasty punk bands like The Shitlickers. Some people gravitate either towards the "heavy metal" aspect of things or the Punk... I tend to lean towards punk. Heavy Metal is great but few pull it off just right.

I tried emailing TPL about doing the bonus tracks as a 7". No answer

Ok TPL gave me the green light to do the Mercy 7". This has been added to my plate for 2007.

I didn't even know the guy was dead. I guess this will be the last Mercy release ever. d

Yeah, he died June/July last year, I think....
Anyway, what's gonna be on that EP then?

It's the bonus tracks from the Swedish Metal CD. Four tracks from 1981. Great sound quality!!

Why re-release some tracks that are allready included on an existing re-release? Wouldn't it be better to for example re-release the King doom album on cd and include some dvd stuff as bonus material? There are two Mercy bootleg videos existing. One from Ronneby ´85 and one from Rockslaget ´82... THAT would be something!

It's on a fucking CD as bonus tracks. I'm doing them on a 7" format to do the tracks justice.

You should do the King Doom CD with bonus DVD.
