Produced by John Douglass (Alluvial, Nile, Nekrogoblikon)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Canadian extreme\u2011metal veterans\u00a0Without Mercy\u00a0<\/strong>have released the official music video for\u00a0\u201cGlass\u201d,<\/strong>\u00a0the newest single from their latest EP\u00a0\u201cInfinite Loss\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0produced with John Douglass (Alluvial, Nile, Nekrogoblikon)\u00a0<\/strong>and released this past May.<\/p>\n \u201cGlass\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>stands as one of the band\u2019s most focused and physically weighted compositions to date. Built around a single riff written after guitarist\u00a0DJ Temple\u00a0<\/strong>witnessed Meshuggah live, the track locks into a deliberate, crushing groove that becomes the backbone of the entire arrangement. 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\u2019s sense of pressure and its final, cathartic release.<\/p>\n The new single arrives in support of\u00a0\u201cInfinite Loss,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0a three\u2011track EP created during the most immersive recording process of the band\u2019s career.\u00a0Without Mercy<\/strong>\u00a0uprooted their routines, crossed borders, and lived inside the studio for ten days, no comfort, no distance, no escape. The EP\u2019s 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\u2011making. Lyrically,\u00a0\u201cInfinite Loss\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0is 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.<\/p>\n The EP\u2019s 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\u2019s emotional core without explaining it, inviting listeners into the world before a single note plays.<\/p>\n Without Mercy\u00a0<\/strong>was formed in 2007, blending groove, extreme metal, and technical precision into a sound described as\u00a0\u201cheavy and insightful at the same time.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0The 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.<\/p>\n Their discography includes\u00a0\u201cAll Else Fails\u201d (2007), \u201cWithout Mercy\u201d (2009), \u201cReborn\u201d (2014),\u00a0rereleased\u00a0as\u00a0<\/em>\u201c<\/em><\/strong>Mouichido\u201d (2016), and \u201cSeismic\u201d (2020).<\/em>\u00a0\u201cInfinite Loss\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0marks their most focused and intentional work to date, a release built from collapse, rebuilt through discipline, and finished with absolute conviction.<\/p>\n Recommended for fans of Meshuggah, Gojira, Decapitated, Alluvial, and Pantera, experience the new music video for\u00a0\u201cGlass\u201d at\u00a0<\/strong>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hRG4DolDI5s<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cGlass hits hard because it was written with clarity, conviction, and momentum from the first note. Everything else was built to serve that initial idea,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>says Temple.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis record exists because we chose to be uncomfortable, to argue honestly, and to stay in the room until it felt right. It\u2019s focused, intentional, and real,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0adds Temple.<\/p>\n
