Southern California hardcore band Feed the Beast has just released their latest album, Mercy, marking a significant step in their journey as the first project under the Futureless label. Fans can now also enjoy the music video for their single, “Tombs Underneath the Tombs.”
The Band’s Origin Story
Feed the Beast originated from a group of high school friends who bonded over their shared passion for music. Guitarist Nicholas Garcia recounts their beginnings: “It was a very small school, which was even funnier how we were all into the same music. It was just kind of a coincidence.”
The band began crafting their sound just before the COVID-19 pandemic, and they subsequently launched their first full-length record, Vengeance, in 2022, followed by the EP Silhouettes in 2023.
Musical Direction and Themes
The new album, Mercy, is described as a relentless hardcore assault, resonating powerfully with the current cultural climate. Vocalist James Hutchinson elaborates on the single “Tombs Underneath the Tombs,” stating it encapsulates the idea of “being content with and even embracing hell, which is a fate worse than hell itself.” The song offers a glimpse into the mindset of a deeply narcissistic individual who perceives themselves as superior to others, including creation itself.
