The pictures on the back are so fucking METAL!!! Can anyone post any rare photos of vintage MERCY here?? I'd kill to see more from that mid-80's era with Messiah Marcolin!
Unfortunately I didn't have any scanner at the time I did the Black Death pic disc 12" with Mercy. Andrija had several scrapbooks of old newspaper clippings and old photos. Had it been today, I would have scanned all that stuff. At the time, I borrowed a bunch of photos from him and sent them to the guy that did the graphics for me and later returned them to Andrija. Those newspaper clippings were awesome to go through. Some info I never knew about and that Andrija had long forgotten about, like Black Dragon being interested in signing Mercy around 1986 or so etc.
It's a shame Andrija rushed the Underground album like he did. I have tons of insider info about that album and he played bits and pieces of the songs he was working on for me a couple of times when I paid him a visit. They definitely had potential.
Here's something that's pretty badass, the original 1984 artwork by Jonas Darnell (who's now a famous comic artist here in Sweden). Andrija wanted me to have it and signed it to me personally. I have been thinking of getting it framed for years, but for some reason haven't gotten around to do it...
