Through Our Darkest Days is the seventh studio album by the Danish melodic death metal band Mercenary. It is their only album with drummer Peter Mathiesen who joined the band as a regular member in 2012 after performing more than 50 shows with them.^[3] He left the band in 2019.

The cover artwork was done by Mircea Gabriel Eftemie the guitarist of the Danish metal band Mnemic. René Pedersen commented: "The cover artwork portraits a dark atmosphere, symbolizing the darkness that surrounds us everyday. But in darkness there is always a light, which in this case is symbolized by a burning candle, and the figure that holds its eyes in its hands, showing a piece of the world as seen through our eyes."^[4]
