WITHOUT MERCY’s New Music Video Breaks The “Glass”

WITHOUT MERCY’s New Music Video Breaks The “Glass” With Its Extreme Metal Groove

Produced by John Douglass (Alluvial, Nile, Nekrogoblikon)

Canadian extreme‑metal veterans Without Mercy have released the official music video for “Glass”, the newest single from their latest EP “Infinite Loss” produced with John Douglass (Alluvial, Nile, Nekrogoblikon) and released this past May.

“Glass” stands as one of the band’s most focused and physically weighted compositions to date. Built around a single riff written after guitarist DJ Temple witnessed Meshuggah live, the track locks into a deliberate, crushing groove that becomes the backbone of the entire arrangement.

“Glass hits hard because it was written with clarity, conviction, and momentum from the first note. Everything else was built to serve that initial idea,” says Temple.

Lyrically, the song explores eyes, mirrors, and translation, the distortion between what is seen and what is understood. The video mirrors that tightening tension, capturing the song’s sense of pressure and its final, cathartic release.

The new single arrives in support of “Infinite Loss,” a three‑track EP created during the most immersive recording process of the band’s career. Without Mercy uprooted their routines, crossed borders, and lived inside the studio for ten days, no comfort, no distance, no escape.

“This record exists because we chose to be uncomfortable, to argue honestly, and to stay in the room until it felt right. It’s focused, intentional, and real,” adds Temple.

The EP’s three songs, Infinite Loss, The Saint, and Glass, were selected not as singles but as statements, each surviving months of scrutiny, revision, and collective decision‑making. Lyrically, “Infinite Loss” is about being hunted, not by a single antagonist, but by the pressures of modern life: economics, identity, time, survival. The threat shifts, but never disappears. Musically, the EP leans into weight, repetition, and restraint. Riffs sit long enough to suffocate. Rhythms feel physical and deliberate. The aggression is controlled, not chaotic, a reflection of endurance rather than escape.

The EP’s artwork, created with artist Diego Gedoz de Souza, depicts a desolate forest split by a massive void, a visual metaphor for inevitability, loss, and the gravitational pull of forces beyond control. It mirrors the EP’s emotional core without explaining it, inviting listeners into the world before a single note plays.

Without Mercy was formed in 2007, blending groove, extreme metal, and technical precision into a sound described as “heavy and insightful at the same time.” The band has shared stages with Cattle Decapitation, Aborted, and Death Angel, and has appeared as downloadable content in Rock Band 3, bridging gaming culture and heavy music.

Their discography includes “All Else Fails” (2007), “Without Mercy” (2009), “Reborn” (2014), rereleased as “Mouichido” (2016), and “Seismic” (2020). “Infinite Loss” marks their most focused and intentional work to date, a release built from collapse, rebuilt through discipline, and finished with absolute conviction.
