The Native Howl has released the new single “Mercy” featuring Lzzy Hale of Halestorm, via Sumerian Records. Listen to the song here, and watch the video below.
“‘Mercy’ was written as our original ‘thrash grass’ anthem, and to have our vocal hero Lzzy Hale singing on it is nothing short of a dream come true!” the band said. “‘Mercy’ subtly tells the story of infamous Boston gangster Whitey Bulger, and the dichotomy of dark and light between him and his disgraced politician brother William. While pulling from additional themes of organized religion and corruption, the music bed’s growth in intensity throughout attempts to paint the process of all evil and wrong-doing slowly being brought to light.”
“I fell in love with Native Howl from the moment they walked on stage at the Troubadour,” Hale said. “I could feel their energy before they even played the first note. For those few minutes of performance, I was entertained in a way I haven’t felt in years. These boys are doing something special, unapologetically … and that is the magic. I was a judge on the show ‘No Cover,’ but not when these boys played. I was and forever will be a fan. The only thing sweeter than their incredible mashup of influence and top tier musicianship is their big hearts. Good luck. world. The Native Howl are about to set you on fire.”
The band previously released “Can’t Sleep” and “Sons of Destruction” after winning season one of the hit TV series “No Cover” and signing with Sumerian Records.
