Their first official release was the 'Dreams Like Deserts' EP on Hot Records in 1994, and from there-on the band has become a cult act. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'The Merciless' was the brutal 2004 masterpiece from Aura Noir, and the first release on Darkthrone's Peaceville imprint, Tyrant Syndicate.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAura Noir, formed out of the mighty likes of Mayhem, Cadaver and Dodheimsgard, developed a strong underground fan base through its high-profile touring with the likes of Aeturnus and Nocturnal Breed. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis vinyl edition of 'The Merciless' contains the bonus track 'Sulphur Void'.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Black City Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37749108768924,"sku":"","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0497\/5912\/5660\/products\/themerciless.jpg?v=1612953649","url":"https:\/\/www.blackcityrecords.co.uk\/products\/aura-noir-the-merciless-lp","provider":"Black City Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
