With a solid base on Thrash Metal and 80's Hardcore, he always search for a more crude and violent sound. In these 31 years, the band has built own sound, with songs fast and transmiting critical messages that demonstrate hate, revolt and fury about political themes, social inequality and history lies. In 93 the first demo was released, titled Toxic Death, in 95 was released the demo Living in My Madness, that had a run of 500 cassette tapes copies DIY, sold out in less than 6 months. After a few more demos, in 2013 he released The Thrasher! and, finally, in 2015 the full lenght, Euthanasia. Euthanasia is the first Mercy Killing album, a independent release in CD and LP. It can be reached directly from the band or in online streaming service such as Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, Apple Music and Weezer. It is also available digitally and physical at Bandcamp. The album, which was produced by Mercy Killing and Maiko Thomé and supported by fans in a crowdfunding campaign, has 16 super violent tracks. The band is composing the second album, but recorded some tracks to release a single, a rehearsal tape and a live EP.
