It's been two years since Vancouver, BC's WITHOUT MERCY last
EP 'Reborn' savaged the lands of Canadian metal. After hitting the
studio with a new vocalist Alex Friis and bass tracks recorded by Tristan Martin and live performance being done by Ryan Loewen, the band is ready to unleash its latest offering 'Mouichido', a re-release of re-recorded material from their 2014 EP 'Reborn'. Newly added to EP is also a guest appearance by vocalist Mark Hunter of Chimaira on track 'In Waves'. 'Mouichido' is set for release on May 27th, 2016 and is available for pre-order at the following link https://withoutmercy.bandcamp. com/album/mouichido.
"'Mouichido'
is the Japanese word for “Repeat” or “to do one more time”. We chose
this as the title to signify the re-release of a previous version of
this record. After the release 'Reborn', we faced an issue
with our vocalist, which caused us to part ways with him. On the
advice of our legal team, we recorded the album again with our current
vocalist in an effort to terminate possible legal action." says Band
founder and guitarist DJ Temple. "In addition to that, I hold close ties
with Japanese culture so I thought it would be the perfect time to
introduce those lines into our music. Facing the incredible difficulty
with the last record and the way the vocalist departed the band, the
stress was compounded by the financial burden left with a record we
couldn't release. By venturing back to some of my martial art roots,
I found the strength to maintain my tenacity and get the record back on
track. The result, is “Mouichido”. Fans should receive this as the
ultimate reason to never give up. Take the aggressive nature of the
songs and allow the culture of the Japanese writing to envelop you in a
way that will carry you through each track. Let this EP be the story
that inspires you to push through something difficult and come out the
other side a stronger and more experienced person."

Tenacity, work ethic and originality. There’s no excuses anymore.
Vancouver-based
Without Mercy certainly stays true to its name. Ruthless and menacing,
these Canadian metal titans have cultivated and redefined the phrase,
“Fuck Pussy Metal”.
Founded
in 2004, Without Mercy has gone from strength to strength over the
years. They released their first EP “All Else Fails” in 2007 completely
independently and used its humble beginnings to start the catapulting of
performances, internet presence and radio play. In 2009, Without Mercy
went on to record their self-titled full length album using the same
team that worked on records by Devin Townsend, Mudvayne, and Marilyn
Manson. Without Mercy rode the attention wave of their self-titled
debut, using the escalation to begin a relentless performance schedule
that would lead them far from their hometown and include over 200 live
performances. No stranger to tenacity, in only a few short years
Without Mercy have achieved; being the only indie metal band in Western
Canada to have two tracks available on Rock Band 3, being featured in
Tattoo Savage Magazine, and pioneering the phrases, ‘You Smell Like A
Bitch’ and ‘Fuck Pussy Metal’ – which have now become synonymous with
the band.
In
2014, Without Mercy unleashed third studio release, “Reborn”. Another
massive evolution for the band, Without Mercy sought to bring back the
organic metal sound and combine it with a high production standard.
Fast forward to 2016, some line up changes with a new vocalist and
bassist, the band is ready to share with fans re-recorded material from
'Reborn' on their new EP 'Mouichido' that even features Chimaira
vocalist Mark Hunter on their track 'In Waves'. The EP is set to be
unleashed on May 27th, 2016 and will be supported with a steady rotation
of touring and appearances across Canada and the USA. All of course,
independently.
