With “MERCY”, their 13th release, Duplexity delivers a gut-punch of betrayal, anger, and longing, propelled by thick riffs and searing emotion. It chronicles the harrowing aftermath of being left behind by someone who once held your entire world, grasping for dear life at the shards of your worth.
The track portrays someone who’s trying to wash away a toxic love but soon discovers that those wounds are more than skin deep. That tension between desire for freedom and being stuck in the aftermath of what’s lost is why “MERCY” rides with such insistent intensity. It’s a cathartic and confrontational performance by Duplexity, who evokes the pounding storm of heartbreak and rage for us to wade into.
The landscape reflects that emotional rollercoaster, veering from haunting openness to explosive crescendos and screams of defiance. This is an anthem for anyone who has ever been left to feel like a reject but refuses to remain broken.
“MERCY” will likely find its way on mope and breakup playlists for being both emotionally heavy and rocking, but most importantly, it has a wide-ranging quality of raw storytelling. Duplexity has created something that not only entertains but also hits nerves, pokes at memories, and reminds us of the power we always have in redeeming our darkest chapters.
