Mercury Circle

MERCURY CIRCLE, born as a brainchild in 2018 by Iconcrash and Swallow the Sun’s Jaani Peuhu, offers dark, alternative metal infused with electrifying synth wave and slow, epic doom. Truly a genre of its own, the band are establishing their very own kind of "New Doom" - think “Sisters Of Mercy and The Cult shaking hands with Depeche Mode and Cathedral”. Within their own microcosm, the songs tell a story of an ever-repeating journey from painful departures to new beginnings, hope and promises, echoing loss and regret.

On August 14, 2020, MERCURY CIRCLE released "The Dawn Of Vitriol", the band's first EP, via Noble Demon (digital) and The Vinyl Division (vinyl + Digipack CD).

On December 18, 2020, they released their single "Our Funeral (Like Xmas)" - just in time for the holidays.

Their first full-length KILLING MOONS was released on October 8, 2021, via Noble Demon.
