Biography

What's in a name? Everything. And Vancouver-based Without Mercy certainly stays true to its name. Ruthless and menacing, these Canadian metal titans have cultivated a fusion of death and thrash, a sound that shows off the band's respect for, and dedication to both genres. Their progressive hybrid sound coupled with a notorious reputation for throwing down an unyielding, intense live show, have proved that a hard-core attitude can only equal a hard-core result.

Founded in 2004 by DJ Temple, Without Mercy has gone from strength to strength over the years. They released their first EP "All Else Fails" in 2007 completely independent and used its humble beginnings to begin the catapulting of performances, internet presence and radio play. In 2009, Without Mercy went on to independently create their self-titled debut which was recorded, mixed and mastered at Vancouver's legendary Factory Studios (Devin Townsend, Mudvayne, Marilyn Manson) which proved to be exclamation point on the attention surrounding the up and coming four piece. Without Mercy went on to ride the attention wave of their self-titled debut, using the escalation of attention to begin a relentless performance schedule that would lead them far from their hometown. After two tours of their native country and over 50 live performances, Without Mercy took the next logical step and began to write a follow up album.

In the summer of 2013 Without Mercy began pre-production on their long awaited third studio release. DJ Temple hand-picked a team of industry professionals and has once again took on the role of producer for the EP properly titled, "Reborn". The industry professionals became a part of DJ's production team known as "Temple Entertainment" and have together given birth to an album that will prove to be another massive evolution for the band. Without Mercy has sought out to bring back the organic metal sound and combine it with a high production standard that seems to have vanished from the modern day metal genre. "Reborn" has proven to be the highest production, have the most intense writing and be the most honest representation of the band to date.

Without Mercy is no stranger to tenacity. In only a few short years they have achieved; being the only indie metal band in Western Canada to have two tracks available as DLC 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. All of course, independently.
