Originally released in 1995 on Rowe Productions, this was the band's only album before calling it quits. The song "Shut Up And Listen" was featured on Godspeed: Australian Metal Compilation (Rowe Productions, 1994)
Cry Mercy's self-titled debut was 10 heavy tracks full of great riffs and hooks. From mid-paced hard rockers ("What Am I Doing Wrong"), to funky riffs ala Extreme ("D. A. M.", "Girl's No Good"), to straight up metal ("Time To Go"), all of their songs were written and executed with skill. The focus on, and variety of, guitar work keeps the whole album interesting and is complimented by a band who perform with power and conviction. Had this been released in the early 90's, instead of in 1995 when death metal was all the rage, who knows where it might have taken them!
Soundmass is happy to be re-issuing Cry Mercy in 2022, making it readily available again. The audio has been meticulously remastered by Paul D. Clifford (PCP Studios) to bring it new life. Courtesy of Scott Waters (Ultimatum/NoLifeTilMetal), we also have a 12-page booklet with dual cover artwork, a photo/flyer collage, lyrics and comments from band members.
