The Hours That Remain is the fourth studio album by Danish metal band Mercenary. Released on 21 August 2006,[1] it was the second by the band to be released through Century Media Records and the first to not include founding member Henrik "Kral" Andersen. The album primarily blends melodic death metal with power metal, with almost all the vocals being clean ones. This was due to the absence of a dedicated growling vocalist, which Mercenary has otherwise employed. Growled vocals would return with 2008's Architect of Lies.
The import version of the CD contains two additional tracks.
The limited edition of The Hours That Remain includes a DVD. The first song is a video of "Firesoul", songs 2 to 5 are from the live show at Dynamo 2005, and the rest are the official bootleg by the band live at Pratten.
