Explaining MERCY TIES quickly yields this - if Converge slowed down and mixed Mare with Enkephalin. The band employs what I like to call 'murder riffs' in their songs.
Here are 3 prime examples that I have mixed down to quickly show you.
Those riffs is very reminiscent of Mare, a very short-lived but very influential Canadian band that released a crushing/haunting EP on Hydra Head Records back in 2003 - listen here:
Not all of their songs are so murdery-sounding. Most, if not all of their tracks are urgent and spastic yet controlled. The band recently posted that they had just approved their test presses, so hopefully I'll get some more murder riffs to add to the collection.
