The track showcases the artist at her most unsettling and unpredictable.
Over the last few years, dark-pop provocateur DeathbyRomy has developed a distinctive sounds that sound that you can’t seem to pry yourself away from, whether crafting melodic electronic-pop or unsettling bouts of dark explosiveness. Characterised by its disconcerting beats, unpredictable left-turns, and its chaotic atmosphere and sense of danger, the artist has a sound that is truly and distinctly her own, often melding heaviness with melody in effortless fashion.
The latest cruel example of this is ‘No Mercy’, a track that dials up the disconcerting nature of the sound from its offset. From its glitchy instrumental to the incredible composure and poise of her effortlessly haunting vocals, the track builds into something that feels chaotic and unsettling, but maintains a bizarre sense of melodicism that works far better than it has any right to. Listening to DeathByRomy feels like being tormented… but not necessarily in a bad way? If you like your sounds a bit twisted and sinister then ‘No Mercy’ is an anthem to find yourself familiarised with.
