Mercenary - 11 Dreams
Review by Heidrun Henze
11 Dreams by Mercenary is a stunning album that showcases the band's impressive musicianship and songwriting abilities. The album features a mix of heavy, melodic, and progressive elements, which create a unique and captivating sound.
The opening track, "Into the Sea of Dark Desires," sets the tone for the album with its hard-hitting riffs and soaring vocals. The album continues with tracks like "World Hate Center" and "11 Dreams," which showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend heavy and melodic elements.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Firesoul," which features a beautiful acoustic guitar intro that leads into a powerful chorus. The song is a perfect example of the band's ability to create dynamic and memorable songs.
Throughout the album, the band's musicianship is on full display, with intricate guitar solos, thunderous drumming, and soaring vocals. The production is also top-notch, with a clear and powerful sound that perfectly captures the energy of the band.

Menuda combinación de estilos, guauuu?
I dare you to fall asleep
Cross my heart and hope to die within my sleep
As I believe I'm being stalked inside a dream
I start to run, my legs are numb, I beg you please
My blood dries out, my body's cold, the rivers freeze
The rivers freeze
Helplessly I lie in wait for what may appear before me
And desperately I seek of thee; spare my soul, deceiver
Steal my heart
Then take the rest of me
Free my mind
Let me float away
On this feeling
Even though this insanity
Seems to me reality
Take my final thoughts away
Leave me be on my deathbed
Fade away
My dying day
The fever takes control
Deceiver takes my soul
Light the sky
This dying night
The flaming torch will burn
The path of no return
I seek revenge as I escape the maze within
I need the key to turn the lock that holds me back
Then I am free, fast asleep
I walk in dreams, firesoul hang on to me
I'll make you scream
I'll make you scream
Helplessly I lie in wait for what may appear before me
And desperately I seek of thee; spare my soul, deceiver
Falling into you
Dreaming
Trying to find you there but
Even though this sanity
Seems to me reality
Take my final thoughts away
Leave me be on my deathbed
Fade away
My dying day
The fever takes control
Deceiver takes my soul
Light the sky
This dying night
The flaming torch will burn
The path of no return
Firesoul
In my sleep I fall in deep
Into the sea of dark desire
Haunting me, stalking me
Helplessly, I'm still dreaming
In my sleep I fall in deeper down
Into the sea of dark desire
Haunting me, stalking me
I'm helpless
Watching me
In my sleep stilll dreaming
Cross my heart and hope to die within my sleep
As I believe I'm being stalked inside a dream
I start to run, my legs are numb, I beg you please
My blood dries out, my body's cold
The river's frozen
As I swim through you, my fire soul
Swims through me and
When you stole my heart you took control
Let me float away
On this bed I lie awaiting you
Take me with you now
Still asleep I wander in your dreams
I'm deceiving you
Take control as my blood dries out
On this dying night
On this dying night
