Formed in 1991 by vocalist/bassist Kral (aka Hans Henrik Andersen), the band would play in congeneric anonymity until 1998, when they lastly landed a deal for a debut album they capably called Number 1 Breath. This was followed deuce days later by the more than grow Everblack, which institute Kral, vocaliser Mikkel Sandager, guitarists Nikolai Brinkmann and Signar Petersen, keyboardist Morten Sandager, and drummer Rasmus Jakobsen forging a legal derived from touch parts demise alloy, thrash, and mightiness metal, and always keeping line and pack together song structures at a agiotage. Yet some other circle of member shake-ups would shortly follow, but after breakage in the new guitar team of Jakob Moelbjerg (ex-Panzerchrist) and Martin Buus Pedersen, as well as drummer Mike Park, Mercenary united forces with leading main Century Media for their third album, 2004's 11 Dreams.
