   About The Mercy Cage


Tauranga, New Zealand concept cyber-darkwave/beat-noir outfit. Formed in early 1999, numb/benign records released The Mercy Cage debut album Wire in January 2000. the bands 2nd album release, Rust: A Fiction - Stories From The Black Room was released on new zealands leading dark-end label Mediatrix in late 2001. A concept album melding a number of musical styles into a cohesive package. A series of successful festival gigs promoting the album throughout New Zealand followed in 2002-2003. Album number 3, the groups first north american domestic release on The DSBP label entitled "Scree: Transmissions" was released in May 2005. once again a conceptual affair on "communication, the media, sex, death & the politics of identity".

"Scree: Transmissions is a record about inter-personal relationships in the digital age. It's about the ascendency of the cult of celebrity, and it's about the search for a deeper meaning in an accelerated culture..."

Glad that you liked the track! No real plans to play live at this point in time. But 2009 should see more action of our part.
Kudos on The Jewellery Thief. And a mention also to the new track by Melody Fallen. Great stuff!

Why thank-you on both counts :)
I had a reputation for being "unnecessarily intense" (basically really loud and opinionated) for quite some time, old age has mellowed me a little but i can still manage to get it out from time to time.

Remixing is definitely something i find fun - I hate my own tunes mainly.
