Vancouver extreme metal unit Without Mercy has released the brand‑new lyric video for “The Saint,” the latest visual chapter supporting their newly issued EP "Infinite Loss." The track follows the band’s earlier lyric video for the EP’s title track and the previously revealed singles “Glass” and the official music video for “The Saint.”
“The Saint” marks one of the most significant creative departures in Without Mercy’s catalogue, a song shaped through deep collaboration between the band and their producer John Douglass (Alluvial, Nile, Nekrogoblikon), built on tension, space, and unfamiliar structure.
“The Saint represents the furthest departure from our usual writing approach. It came from a willingness to step back and let someone we trust help guide the process… Instead of discarding our roots, it tests their flexibility, exploring how far they can be stretched before they break,” adds guitarist DJ Temple.
Released May 8th, 2026, "Infinite Loss" captures Without Mercy at their most focused, intentional, and uncompromising. Written during a period of instability and recorded after uprooting their lives to track the EP abroad, the record documents a band choosing discomfort, honesty, and discipline over convenience.
The EP’s three tracks, “Infinite Loss,” “The Saint,” and “Glass”, were selected not as singles, but as statements. Each survived months of scrutiny, revision, and collective challenge.
“This record exists because we chose to be uncomfortable, to argue honestly, and to stay in the room until it felt right… It is focused, intentional, and real. These songs document a short, intense window of our lives where commitment mattered more than convenience and honesty mattered more than expectation,” says Temple.
Lyrically, "Infinite Loss" is about being hunted, not by a single antagonist, but by the relentless pressures of modern life: economics, identity, time, and survival. The threat shifts, but never disappears.
Musically, the EP mirrors that tension through weight, repetition, and restraint. Riffs sit and suffocate. Rhythms feel deliberate and physical. Aggression is controlled rather than explosive.
The artwork, created in collaboration with artist Diego Gedoz de Souza, reflects this emotional core: a desolate forest, a massive void carved into the earth, stillness above and violence below, a visual entry point into the EP’s world.
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.
