Prologue to Redemption

from A Mercenary's Fate by Siren

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    "A Mercenary's Fate" is the second, full-length studio album from US heavy metal band, Siren., since their unexpected reunion in 2018 to perform at a prestigious festival in Germany. Their journey to regroup and perform was captured in the documentary film "I'm Too Old for This Sh*t! A Heavy Metal Fairy Tale" produced by Chris Jericho.

    This new album features a total eleven new songs in the melodic, traditional heavy metal style that the band has honed since first forming in 1981. The title track of the album pays homage to their debut 7" single, "Metro-Mercenary" which was released in 1984. For the first time, the band worked with their long-time friend, legendary Producer, Jim Morris, who mixed and mastered the album at Morrisound Recording in Tampa, FL.

    This Limited Edition CD features a 16-page booklet with full lyrics.

    NOTE: We have changed from Priority Mail shipping to Media Mail shipping for US orders to lower the overall cost although it will mean shipping in a padded envelope instead of a box. Unfortunately, shipping rates from the US to international locations has become outrageously expensive. That is why the shipping rates are so high. We make no money on shipping. For international orders, please visit our label at www.FHMRecords.com where the shipping should be less.

    We have received a very small amount of these beautiful vinyl LPs to sell in North America. For orders outside of the US/Canada/Mexico, please visit www.FHMRecords.com. A total of only 500 copies were produced in blue and pink vinyl to match the cover theme.

    The album features nine tracks that have been specifically mastered for vinyl by the legendary Jim Morris of Morrisound Recording in Tampa, FL. A full-color insert is included which contains lyrics for all of the songs as well as the additional information such as credits, thanks, contacts, etc. Each album is brand new and shrink-wrapped and also includes a digital download of the entire album including the two bonus tracks included on the CD version.

    We hope to receive some additional copies in the future, including some of the pink edition, but we have no definite details about that currently. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at SireBandUS@gmail.com and, as always, you can find all of our info at SirenBand.us.

    Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new album. We feel that it is our best ever and the fantastic reviews it has been receiving seem to back that up.

about

This enhanced instrumental dramatizes the events that lead up to the scene depicted on the cover of this album where the Metro Mercenary is about to meet his fate. His story started almost 40 years ago with the release of our debut single in 1984. This is the conclusion to the “four-part trilogy.” The dialogue is in the lyrics section.

lyrics

MAFIA THUG: I'm telling ya, Skip. The guy's fuckin' nuts. I mean, yeah, he's the best. But what he knows can send us all up. You gotta do something. I mean, c'mon. The guy's uncontrollable. And some of the crew are even starting to listen to him.

MAFIA BOSS: Alright. Reach out to the Cordaros. Let them handle it.

MAFIA THUG: Hey, listen. You both know this guy. You know what he can do. Don't underestimate him. He's a fuckin' lunatic with that crazy blade thing he's got. It's gonna take both of ya. It needs to be quick and clean. You understand?

ASSASSIN: Yeah. Got it.

ASSASSIN: Sorry it has to go down this way, brother. But you know how it works. Orders are orders. To be honest, I always kind of admired you. You're almost famous in this city. Look at it this way, though. Sometimes you have to die to become a legend.

METRO MERCENARY: I understand now what must be done. I see the true nature of those I so foolishly served. And the S-blade is thirsty for their blood.
