About

Without Mercy

Label: Unsigned
since circa 2004
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 the summer of 2013 Without Mercy began pre-production on their long awaited third studio release, "Reborn". Another massive evolution for the band, Without Mercy has sought to bring back the organic metal sound and combine it with a high production standard. “Reborn” has proven to be the highest production, the most intense writing and is the most honest representation of Without Mercy to date.

With a steady rotation of touring and appearances at some of Canada's largest festivals, Without Mercy continues to set their sights high. All of course, independently.
