Birthed at the juncture where hardcore and punk meet metal, Death Ray Vision hit their stride with the soon to be classic third full-length, No Mercy From Electric Eyes. "Every record we get a little more experimental, flirting with different styles and feels, and we want to keep expanding on that," says guitarist and founding member Pete Cortese. "My favorite element of this band is the creative freedom, not being painted into a corner, and I like to think at the end everything still sounds like us." This very much stands true on No Mercy From Electric Eyes, which holds onto the core DRV sound while pushing in new directions, creating their most immersive release to date. A further new dimension affecting the sound is the addition of vocalist Keith Bennett to the band's ranks, who the existing members knew would be the perfect fit from his time with notable acts Wrecking Crew, Panzerbastard (both of whom shared the stage with Cortese and D'Antonio's other band Overcast) and Ramallah. "Keith brings a whole lot of piss and vinegar, with a side of street cred. He brought a new sense of enthusiasm and excitement and got us even more fired up to make a great record," says Cortese. Guitarist Chris Rosati adds, "creatively speaking, Keith is a force of nature. His ability to get inside a new song and quickly come up with vocals and lyrics is really something to witness."
