Henrik "Kral" Andersen decided to leave Mercenary, the band parted ways with Kral in a friendly way. The reason of the departure hasn't been reveled but it's expected that Kral deliver a statement soon.

The recording of the new album is not going to be affected; the band explains that they have been working on the new album in Kral's absence for two months. Mikkel Sandager will be in charge of writing the lyrics (as well of doing the vocals as usual and the screams for this time). Also the plans for touring won't be affected.

In other hand the band started searching for a replacement to play & that also can do the screams

The requirements of the band are the following:

"- Must have a deeply dedicated and serious mind.
- Must have 100 % devotion to the band
- Must be able to rehearse intensively in certain periods in Mercenary's rehearsals near Aalborg, Denmark.
- Be a male between 20 - 35 years.
- Be able to growl, scream, do 'melodic shouting' and play the bass
- Be able to learn the old songs quickly
- Be able to restrict his drinking on tour/shows (No drinking before shows)
- Must have a personal image fitting a serious metal band
- be able and willing to tour extensively in periods.
Live and studio experience is an advantage but not a necessity.
