Album Review
The Mercy House – “A Broken State Of Bliss”
One of the things I like most about writing for PureGrainAudio is the exposure I have to bands I probably would never have otherwise heard of; The Mercy House being a prime example. This London-based hard rock group surprised the crap out of me as I really was not expecting what I heard. Turns out A Broken State Of Bliss is actually a top-notch, slamming record.

This London-based hard rock group surprised the crap out of me as I really was not expecting what I heard. Turns out A Broken State Of Bliss is actually a top-notch, slamming record.
The guitars are huge and thunderous, the bass is punchy and well-defined and the extremely powerful, soaring vocals just round things off in a fantastic fashion. This disc has a touch of the sleazy L.A. sound from the ’80s a la Guns N Roses and L.A. Guns, a healthy dose of Alice And Chains and other modern day hard rock flair, all wrapped up in some stunning production. A Broken State of Bliss is really a terrific disc and The Mercy House is a band that should be on your radar as of RIGHT NOW!
