No fair, no-one at home Fired your prayers to broken stones Subsume and evaporate Another corpse for the raves It's a murderers row here Salt the earth, Burn to dust Another lapse unfounded As hope smiles Forever Such a waste And she drops bombs from the pyre that stain the eyes Took a stab at immolation and failed Let's agree that I fell over again Nothing new here Move along It burns us away Irradiates And burns us away. It swallows everything you touch.

about

New Zealand Industrial act The Mercy Cage return with their first release of all-new material in nearly ten years, featuring acclaimed Wellington-based vocalist Justine Ó Gadhra-Sharp.

‘Walking Ghost Phase’ is a slow-motion death rattle driven by ambient sound collage, prepared guitar & piano, rattling percussion, performed analogue synths &, a nuanced, dynamic vocal.

Ahead of an E.P entitled ‘Five Zeroes' due for release later this year and a projected new album in 2018, The 3 track 'Walking Ghost Phase' single is available now from all major online download & streaming platforms.

Justine Ó Gadhra-Sharp has been active since the mid 1990’s in the Christchurch and Auckland Industrial/Goth scenes. She has performed in bands such as The Gael, Flinch, DIS with David Khan, Roshgar (a band from Kurdistan) and her own group Pulchritude. Justine is inspired by middle eastern soaring style vocals and Gothic operatics. she draws on these inspirations to allow her voice to become more of an instrument. This is Justine’s first new musical venture since 2009.

The Mercy Cage is a pioneering electro-industrial/cyber-noir band from New Zealand. Notable releases include ‘Rust: A Fiction’ (2001) & ‘Scree:Transmissions’ (2006).

New album 'Other Suicides: A Pocket History Of Cryptography' is due out early 2018.
