He sent me the recording of No Mercy, and I was instantly sold. I have known Ely since he was in Bitter End, and I am a big fan of all of their releases. Label owner Andrew Kline announces, “We are excited to add SHADOW OF DOUBT to the WAR Records roster. To know that someone from a band that we admire and are influenced by believes in our music enough to put it out for us is nothing short of amazing.” The fact that Andrew who runs WAR is from the legendary Strife is incredible. The band issued, “ SHADOW OF DOUBT is ecstatic to be putting our new record No Mercy out on WAR Records! We put a lot of time and energy in to these songs, and I think that it shows. The four-song EP was recorded in November 2016 by Phillip Odom (Ivy League) at Bad Wolf Studios, and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Integrity, Power Trip, Nails).
