There are two main problems with this release. Firstly it's too short, coming in at only twenty-seven minutes, and considering some of the songs are based in a steadier, medium speed, along with the fact that it isn't 1987 any more and we're not using LPs, there's really no excuse. The more structural problem lies in the often awkward blending of the older and newer black metal styles, which even goes as far as to require two vocalists to handle the delivery of each, as Apollyon provides the g...more |

The first release on Darkthrone's Tyrant Syndicate Records, Aura Noir's third release sounds more or less like a tribute to the earliest black metal bands that followed a style more in line with American thrash, namely Bathory, Sodom and particularly Celtic Frost, before the early nineties saw black metal being more authentically defined for better or worse.

Products similar to The Merciless - Aura Noir
Strong tracklisting spanning 3 decades 
None really... Few dull moments in the less known tracks Some good pop tracks of yesteryear A few fillers see review see review Ride It and Love Never Loved Me Some weak dud songs here and there Rare, early releases now more readily available. There was probably a reason they ceased production in the first place.The Fantastic 80's Vol.2
Great tunes to remember Not all great songs, and not a lot of info on the album from the sleeve
So This Is Great Britain - Holloways
A decent debut of catchy tracks Won't appeal to many who don't appreciate Indie music
Shakedown - Freemasons
Lengthy track listing with no fillers, good tunes Still lacks variety
Scouting For Girls - Scouting For Girls
A real fun album None really
Riders Of The Plague - Absence
Making melodic death metal interesting again. Still owes its sound entirely to earlier Swedish bands.
Obscuritatem Advoco Amplectere Me - Abruptum
You may get an unreasonable sense of the connoisseur from owning something so obscure. The album.
Metal Heart - Accept
Accessible pop-tinged metal that still sounds great, with a wide diversity of styles. Some inevitably terrible, awful songs.
Horrorhammer - Abscess
Fairly enjoyable mix of death metal and hardcore punk. Hugely inconsistent and lacking in substance.
Capital Gold Eighties Legends
Some great tracks Some confusing choices
Abydos - Abydos
A great modern metal opera combining the best elements of the style and few of the weaknesses. The concept and lyrics themselves are far from riveting.
