Topeka, Kansas-based brutal death metal band Unmerciful has released a lyric video for their track “Unnatural Ferocity”. The song is from their fourth album, Devouring Darkness, which dropped on May 23, 2025, via Willowtip Records. The video showcases the band’s signature intensity, with lyrics reflecting the track’s ferocious energy. The album, featuring 10 tracks like “Miracle in Fire,” “Malice Unbound,” and “Vengeance Transcending,” delivers blistering blast beats, intricate drumming, and destructive riffs, marking a new era of sonic brutality for the band.
Unmerciful—Clinton Appelhanz (guitars/bass), Jeremy Turner (guitars/bass), Trynt Kelly (drums), and new vocalist Josh Riley—has earned praise for the release. The album, engineered by Appelhanz at Waveworks Studio, mastered by Alan Douches, and featuring artwork by Santiago Francisco Jaramillo, is available on CD, vinyl, and digital formats at willowtip.com and unmerciful.bandcamp.com, and streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and Willowtip’s YouTube channel.
The band will host an album release show on June 20, 2025, at Warehouse on Broadway in Kansas City, MO, with Torn The Fuck Apart, Garoted, and Hossferatu. They’re also seeking a bassist for live performances or a permanent role, with contact details on their social media.
