Things didn't work out very well with Kåle, and he was replaced by "Rogga" in the beginning of 1988.

After a few weeks they became a complete unit when the "vocalist" Kåle joined the band. Merciless was formed during the summer of 1986 in Strängnäs, Sweden by Erik Wallin (guitar), Fredrik Karlèn (bass) and Stefan Carlsson (drums). Merciless was one of the first underground Death/Thrash bands in Sweden, inspired of the early fast-playing bands such as Kreator, Sodom, Destruction and Bathory. ![]()
