Mother Of Mercy signs to Bridge 9, working on new album

Bridge Nine Records has signed “one of the hardest bands coming out of Pennsylvania”, Mother of Mercy.  From the press release:

Formed in the Spring of 2007 and featuring ex members of Let Down, Mother of Mercy plays contemporary metallic hardcore that draws some of the best elements of 90’s ‘core with a well-executed tinge of metal. Their music is raw, abrasive and dark – highly influenced by Samhain, Undertow and Obituary – and a welcomed addition to the B9 family. Mother of Mercy’s vocalist, Bob Wilson, said “…we’re excited to be on the label, to play with different bands, tour exotic places and be label mates with Striking Distance.”

The band plans to head into the studio this summer to record their Bridge Nine debut but you can get yourself familiar with a few of their tunes on the band’s MySpace page.
