Album Notes

Vancouver based, female-fronted Without Mercy have certainly stayed true to their name. Their progressive hybrid sound has earned them an ever-growing fan base in Canada. Coupled with a notorious reputation for throwing down an unyielding and intense live show, this up and coming four-piece have proved that hardcore attitude can only equal hardcore results.

Following their 2007 EP All Else Fails, Without Mercy has just released their self-titled, full-length debut. Recorded, mixed and mastered at Vancouver’s legendary Factory Studios (Devin Townsend, Mudvayne, Marilyn Manson), this release is the next evolution for WOM. “As the culmination of over a year of writing, preparing and planning, we feel that this album represents WITHOUT MERCY in its truest form” states guitarist DJ Temple. “This is the first time we’ve really been able to articulate musically and lyrically the ideas we’ve been developing since the band’s inception” adds vocalist Alxs Ness.

Besides a strong work ethic and an epic sound, WOM has some behind the scenes experience with vocalist Alxs’ gig as a journalist for ABORT Magazine and Absolute Underground. She has interviewed some of the biggest names in metal such as Cannibal Corpse, Testament and Arch Enemy, to name a few; giving WOM an advantage to understanding the inner sanctum of a gruelling and merciless business.

WOM has already shared the stage with Norwegian Black Metal legends Satyricon, Taiwan’s Chthonic and Canadian favourites, Nuclear Blast Recording artists DIVINITY. Expect to hear a lot more from the band in the very near future as they make some key appearances and prepare for a Canada-wide tour.
