Ist Ist return with their first new material since this year's top 30 album Dagger with a brand new song called No Mercy. It's their first self-produced release and coincides with their end of year shows and an announcement of a March 2027 UK tour.
The song captures the essence of Ist Ist's relentless live shows, where they've won over audiences all across Europe selling out venues like the prestigious Paradiso in Amsterdam as well as other spaces across Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal as well as closer to home. No Mercy has already become a live favourite as the band continued their desire to roadtest new material in front of an audience. Bearing all the hallmarks you'd expect from them with a harder edge, it's a band constantly trying to evolve their sound whilst staying true to their roots.
Speaking about the single front man Adam Houghton said "'We came off the album tour in early May with the goal of starting to write album six, but with the way this song captured our imaginations and with how quickly it came together, we knew we needed to just get straight back in the studio quickly to bottle that moment. We’ve not done that since recording our second EP back in 2018. We’ve maybe always been a bit more methodical in our approach, but we were really feeling this one.
"We’ve always been unapologetic in our independence and our determination to do our thing in the way we want to. This is set against a backdrop of an increasingly brutal industry that is unapologetic to the artists. There’s a power in going harder when the odds get ever stacked against you, with no mercy.”
