Merrimack is a third wave french black metal band. As savage as they are haunting, Merrimacks demos have been drifting around in the underground BM scene for several years now garnering a cult following. Their first demo "Act1" was released in 1995. Merrimack was the first black metal band to play in Paris (1996 with Necromass and Dark Funeral). Merrimack utilizes ambience and mood to enhance the listeners experience. Rather than focus on mythology, Merrimacks members have elected to place a strong focus on the occult and the philosophical aspects of the black arts.
