MERCURY THE WINGED MESSENGER / HACKSAW
split 7" (CW004)

   Conquests of strange lands! Armies of orcs and goblins! Mighty towers festering with the rotting flesh of black, demon knights! Mystical swords! Quests for treasure and fulfillment! Oars from Viking ships dipping into the fjords of Norway! This is the world of Vancouver's Mercury The Winged Messenger: a rockin' six piece (three guitars!) formed from various local hardcore/punk bands. Imagine Karp, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Sabbath, Rush, and The Fucking Champs all in one band. This band has now broken up, with members now playing in Black Rice, and Streets.
   On the flipside we have Toronto's Hacksaw which provide balls out rawk: imagine a more punker Mötorhead or AC/DC. Ex-members of hardcore bands Chokehold and Uranus.

Released summer 2001.

7" price: $5.00 ppd CDN.
