MERCYLESS (FRANCE)

Formed in 1987 in Mulhouse under the patronymic of Merciless. Merciless was Max Ottero (growling and guitar), Stephane Viard (guitar), Boris Mandavis and Gerald Guenzi (drums). The group recorded three demos under the name of Merciless. These demos caught the attention of the label Jungle Hop (a sub-division of the mythical Punk label New Rose) which were trying to build up a Metal label called Virulence Records which released a split EP w/ No theory. Merciless changed their name to Mercyless due to the Swedish legends Merciless. Mercyless released "Abject Offerings" in 1992. Boris leaves the band and is replaced with Rade Radojcic for the recording of the album. First French group to be produced by Colin Richardson. Mercyless break the boundaries and receive great press. "Abject Offerings" brings Mercyless towards an European tour which will see them signing with nothing less than Century Media, of which they will be (and the only) French group.
