The Mercy House

"Cynicism-curing, balls-out hard rock glory... at last, here's a band with its own agenda. And which doesn't suck" METAL HAMMER The London based 5 piece have raised eyebrows with their own muscular brand of rock music since emerging with A Broken State of Bliss in 2012. They have integrated their socio-political lyrics into an incendiary live show which they have taken across the length and breadth of the UK. The Mercy House have played for crowds across various genres thanks to the myriad of influences found in their style, many of which are rarely found in a band still so strongly rooted in heavy music. REVIEWS "Killer riffs, monstrous vocals and more hooks than a slaughterhouse" KERRANG! RADIO "The whole album is packed full of insane riffs, pinched harmonics and soaring vocals, and it's absolutely glorious" BIG CHEESE "The Mercy House don't sound like any other UK rock band" METAL HAMMER "The link between Tool's brain and rock's pelvis" TOTAL GUITAR "...The band channel a Soundgarden-esque sound with a few powder kegs lit up underneath for that added explosive punch. For anyone stumbling upon the band as they tear into the Black Cap, it’ll go down as the discovery of the (Camden Rocks, 2014) festival” 7BIT ARCADE "The Mercy House are a tougher and gnarlier affair, and there's precious few chuckles to be found in their tightly-wound, intense 30 minutes onstage at the Black Cap...the band combine the brooding tar-pit dynamics of early Alice In Chains and Soundgarden with a metallic sheen and an angry political edge." TEAM ROCK “I’m absolutely gob smacked/stunned that this is The Mercy House’s debut album. It reeks of talent and it puts even some of the industry’s top selling artists to shame” AVE NOCTUM “The Mercy House are one of these bands who are just a bit different from anything else out there right now, and pretty soon their unique brand of rock has captured the hardest hearts in the audience” GET YOUR ROCK OUT “The Mercy House didn’t just give a performance, they gave part of their soul to Worcester and the crowd knew it” TBFMONLINE.CO.UK "Reminiscent of Tool, good vocal range. A tasty mix indeed" BRUCE DICKINSON "One of the most impressive live bands we've seen in a while" CACK BLABBATH "A wonderfully unique sound that would be difficult to mistake as anything but The Mercy House". ROOM THIRTEEN "These guys say they wanna hit the UK music scene with a clenched fist and they did just that tonight... absolutely awesome!!!!" UBER ROCK "They captivated the crowd with equal measures of emotion and intensity..." Cack Blabbath CDs and official merch available now from http://themercyhouse.bigcartel.com TMH Records
