Metal Hammer live review.

We recive a 7/10 live review for our gig opening for the mind blowing Mouth of the Architect (who also got 7/10)

"Before the main event, local champions Merrick (7) deliver a solid set of earth-shaking grooves and Tool-heavy dynamics, with the thundering Ten Times and frontman Marco's undeniable stage persona wrongfully confined in such a small venue."

Next gigs:
29 Aug - The Green Park Tavern, Bath
5 Oct - The Croft, Bristol Supporting A Storm Of Light
11 Sep - Palladium Club, Bideford
4 Dec - Wheatsheaf, Oxford

So many of you were there, thank you all for the ace reception and a massive thanks to Hostile Theory themselfs for asking us to play. Well done lads, the CD sounds great.

Weekend of Awesomeness

Well that was an awesome weekend. Friday night we played with Magna Saga who were ace at the RingsAroundSaturn CD Launch party. We have played with Rings many time before but I have never seen them play as well as they did on Friday night, awesome.

Saturday we played Cabaret Abattoir at the Tunnels in Bristol. Once again a fucking great night with entertainment that went beyond music. At one point I saw someone dance, then strip pretty much naked then cover herself in cream, sprinkles, custard and cherryaid. Disgusting, I fucking hate custard.

RE: The gig with Nebula and RingsAroundSaturn

It was fucking awesome, big thanks to everyone who was there.

The website is starting to look a little rubbish to me again and I'm being bad at updating it, so a much more up-to date source of Merrick news can be found on our Myspace/facebook pages, both in the links section.
