Mercenary se formó en Aalborg, Dinamarca, en 1991. Después de lanzar dos demos, Domicile (1993) and Gummizild (1994), firmaron con Black Day records, y lanzaron un EP de cuatro canciones, Supremacy (1996). En 1997 firmaron con Danish Label, y en 1998 lanzan su debut, First Breath.

En el 2002, la banda decide expandir su sonido con la adición del vocalista Mikkel Sandager y se introdujo teclados a las canciones. Esta nueva formación le dio nuevas dimensiones a su sonido, haciendolo más melódico dentro del mismo estilo pesado y agresivo.

La fama de Mercenary creció el año en el que se unieron al ProgPower music festival en Estados Unidos, y lanzaron su segundo album, Everblack. Esto fue después de que la banda despidiera a su baterista Rasmus Jacobsen, por invertir más tiempo en otros proyectos. Durante este tiempo, el guitarrista Signar Petersen también deja la banda por razones personales. Dos viejos amigos de Kral (el baterista Mike Park Nielson y Martin Buus Pedersen) se unen al grupo, y con esta formación firman con Century Media.

En el 2004, Mercenary lanza su tercer album, 11 Dreams, el cual recivió mucha más atención imternacional, un album muy variado y muy trabajado, en el que se puede contemplar el gran talento con el que cuentan. Se destacan temas como Firesoul y Loneliness. En el 2005 tocaron en Wacken.

Fue a finales de marzo del 2006, que se anuncia que Kral deja la banda. Mikkel Sandager dijo en una entrevista que Kral deja la banda para dedicarle más tiempo a su familia, y que piensa que ya hizo suficiente por la banda por 15 años.

    Maybe it's good for Mercenary? Anyway, it's good for me :D I love old mercenary style (First Breath, Everblack, 11 Dreams). But i will miss high-pitch vocals of Mikkel :(

    I think it's very safe to say that Mike didn't leave the band because he didn't want to play heavier! Just like relationships, you sometime grow apart - and I respect the guys for taking this very hard decision now, instead of ignoring the realities and maybe put out a shitty album that us fans would dislike. I'm confident something good will come of this, even though it will not be the same :-)

    They should try to make more complex stuff, not more heavy stuff. I mean, Melodic Death Metal and the likes of it are part of the heaviest music there is imo. If they wanted to make more complex stuff instead of heavier stuff those 3 maybe would have stayed =( Darnit!

    RIP Mercenary?! What the hell?! Even if they don't make another album or do in a different style, 11 dreams, THTR and AOL will remain forever in my memory, thanks for the music is all i can say.

    Oh fuck...those three are gone...that sucks big time...but i still hope that the guys who remained in the band will make an kickass album...Mercenary lives on! But i wonder who will replace the vocalist...that's like when Christian from Scar Symmetry left the band...the fans gone crazy,because his vocals were unique....well,future will tell..

    Jakob, Martin, and René wanted to make heavier, faster, and generally more brutal music (with an old-school touch), but Mikkel, Morten, and Mike weren't too happy about it. That's pretty much all I know right now, but I might reread the announcement again to make sure.

    Interesting... don't know what differences exactly they had, but guess we'll found out when the next album comes out.

    The bad news is just too bad to compense the good one. They shouldn't look for another singer imo.

    Agreed. They were, are, will always be Mercenary as long as lead guitarist, the mainman, doesn't leave the band...Music itself matters, after all.

    why you people want to bury the band ? Jacob was main song writer, and he is staill in the band. and we even don't know who will replace Mikkel. I think fans must still believe that Mercenary will rise from the ashes.

    the soul of mercenary has gone with Kral - the sound of them will be gone with Mikkel, Morten and Mike. i suspect new mercenary will be solid good metal - but they will sound very different and will never reach the atmosphere and spirit of 11 Dreams again...RIP Mercenary - thx for unbelievable music

    While I am really sad to see them go, I guess it really is for the best. Mercenary will still live on, and I'm sure the next album will kick ass, as their previous ones have; and although it won't be the same, I'll still support them, as well as Mikkel and Mike's new projects.

    Sorry guys. But! I am sure I will see them in better situations, you are very good musicians and pretty young ... I'm sure that was the best. We will be waiting in their new projects. I own over 5 years listening Mercenary, I want to thank you for such good songs, and by that time I could see them on stage .... never forget those moments. His records will always be in my shelves and always. always talk to my friends and new generations of good music for a Danish band who always did well, a different band ... see you soon on the road!

    Mikkel isn't my favourite vocalist or anything, but he has a very unique and distinctive style and the band is really going to suffer without him. And it sucks about the other guys too, of course. Terrible news.

    Hm. Very likely the end of something that was great. What a shame.

    That's a very disastrous announcement! I love the band, because of Mikkels voice. I like also the older album First Breath, but the albums with Mikkel and Morten were really the best ones. Mikkel are one of the few clear vocalists I like very much! And don't forget the drummer Mike, also a good man!

    What the eff? God damnit, this is one of my favorite bands... because of Mikkel! This sucks, I was hoping for at least one more album in the style of HtR or AoL... well, I wish them all well, hopefully they all make some new extraordinary stuff with their new projects.

    As sad as the departures are, I hope the band and the former members' new projects do well [2]
