Canadian extreme groove metalers Without Mercy have released “Glass,” the second single and visualizer from their upcoming EP Infinite Loss, arriving May 8,th, 2026. “Glass” follows the EP’s first single and music video, “The Saint,” which marked a bold creative departure for the band and signaled a new era of intentional, high‑pressure songwriting.
"Glass” began with a single riff written after guitarist DJ Temple witnessed Meshuggah live, a moment that set the tone for the entire track.
“Glass hits hard because it was written with clarity, conviction, and momentum from the first note. That riff carried a physical weight that immediately set the tone and became the spine of the entire song. Everything else was built to serve it,” says Temple.
Musically, the track leans into interconnected riffs inspired by Meshuggah and Alluvial, filtered through Without Mercy’s own voice. The groove is physical and controlled, tightening inward as the song progresses before opening into a massive, final release. Lyrically, “Glass” explores themes of eyes, mirrors, souls, and translation, a reflection on perception and the distortion that occurs between what is seen and what is understood.
