Today, the thrash metal torchbearers are presenting a video clip for their first official single taken off Embrace The Awakening, the brutal-as-hell “Architects Of The Silent War”! Singer Uffe Pettersson comments:
“We’re really proud of this one and it has all the thrash metal elements you can demand! Lyrically inspired by the dark and sophisticated world of the constant cyber war, and cyber attacks globally, which affects us all the time without us knowing anything about it more or less.”

MEZZROW built themselves a name in the thrash metal scene during the late eighties with their critically acclaimed demo tapes, Frozen Soul and Cross of Tormention. In 1990, they released their classic debut album Then Came the Killing, through Active Records (Candlemass a.o.), a subsidiary of Music for Nations. The album is still today considered as one of the best, if not the best, thrash metal releases from Sweden and Scandinavia.
During 2021 MEZZROW rose from the ashes, when bass player Conny Welén (ex-Hexenhaus) and singer Uffe Pettersson (ex-Rosicrucian) decided to make a new mark in the thrash metal world of today, together with new guitarists Magnus Söderman (Nightrage) and Ronnie Björnström (ex-Defiatory, ex-Aeon), as well as drummer Alvaro “Alvis” Svanerö (Imperial Domain).
Following their comeback album Summon Thy Demons (2023, Fireflash Records) and the much-acclaimed Keep It True – Live record, MEZZROW started writing material for their third album.
Eight new songs were later on chosen to become Embrace The Awakening, a Bay Area Thrash Metal monster made in Sweden! Uffe Pettersson says: ”We wanted the new album to sound a bit more straight forward without stepping away too much from Summon Thy Demons. We feel that we’ve achieved that and at the same time kept our roots intact!”
