1) No Mercy - is a pop and dance music group formed by three guys, Milli Vanilli mastermind Frank Farian in Florida in 1995, consisting of twin brothers Ariel and Gabriel Hernández, from Miami, Florida, and Marty Cintron III from New York.
In 1996, No Mercy released their debut album titled My Promise (it was self-titled in the U.S.) and produced four Hot 100 hits, including “Where Do You Go”, (a cover of La Bouche’s “Where Do You Go”) which hit number 5. This was followed by the single “Please Don’t Go” which reached number 21. Next up was "When I Die", and that was followed by a cover of Exile's "Kiss You All Over" which was a huge U.S. dance floor smash, hitting the number one spot on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
No Mercy’s second album, More, included singles such as “Hello How Are You”, “More Than A Feeling” (originally recorded by Boston) and “Tu Amor” also achieved success- but was never released in the U.S.
In 2002, a single, “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”, was released to gauge support for No Mercy’s third album. The producer decided to instead rework the songs for solo artist Daniel Lopes’ debut album, Shine On, in 2003. No Mercy are featured on the track “Summer Angel” of Lopes’ album.[citation needed]
In October 2007, No Mercy have released their new album ‘Day By Day’ under a new Australian based Independent Record Label ‘Show No Mercy Entertainment pty ltd’.
The “Ocean Drive Remix” of their track “Where Do You Go” is featured in the film, “A Night At The Roxbury”.
2) No Mercy - was a speed/thrash metal/hardcore band formed in the mid 1980s in Venice, California. The band was started by lead vocalist Kevin Guercio, guitarist Mike Clark, bassist Ric Clayton and drummer Sal Troy. Guercio recorded a few demos and the tracks on the Welcome To Venice compilation in 1985 before being fired and replaced by Suicidal Tendencies lead vocalist Mike Muir. Muir signed them to his independent label Suicidal Records.
In 1987 No Mercy released their first and only album Widespread Bloodshed... Love Runs Red, and were about to record their second album with many new songs already written but Ric Clayton and Sal Troy quit and, instead of recruiting new members, Mike Muir decided to “merge” the two bands by having Mike Clark join Suicidal Tendencies.
Clark took over much of the songwriting duties for Suicidal, shifting it’s style more to a melodic thrash metal sound similar to No Mercy’s and what would have been No Mercy’s second album became Suicidal Tendencies’ third album: How will I laugh tomorrow… when I can’t even smile today.
In 1989 Suicidal released the Controlled By Hatred-Feel Like Shit…Deja Vu compilation. Many of the songs on it, including “Waking The Dead” and “Controlled By Hatred”, were re-recorded by Suicidal from the Widespread Bloodshed album.

No Mercy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By a shining mountain stream
A young man laid where he fell
In the ruins of his dreams
He looked into the sky
Happy to see that the dawn was slowly breaking
And the woman knelt beside him
Consuela biaz
She bathed his wounds
And he kissed her trembling fingers
Consuela biaz
In the town san domingo
As we laughed and danced all night
To the sound of flamingo guitars
Seemed a long long way from tomorrow's fight
He came from over the sea
Full of the passion of when
You were born to be free
From the valley of ronda
Consuela biaz
Consuela biaz she knelt there and gently
She bathed his wounds
And he kissed her trembling fingers
Consuela biaz
Consuela biaz from the valley of ronda
To the hills above fresno
Just to die against her shoulder
Consuela biaz
The lyrics of No Mercy's song "Consuela Biaz" tell a heart-wrenching story of a young man who has fallen from his once prosperous state, ending up broken and wounded in the hills above Fresno. In the midst of his despair, he looks up to see the slow break of dawn, offering a small glimmer of hope. It is then that Consuela Biaz enters the scene, a woman who kneels beside him and gently bathes his wounds. Despite the agony he is experiencing, the young man kisses her trembling fingers, thanking her for her kindness and comfort.
Later in the song, the setting shifts to the town of San Domingo, where the people are enjoying themselves, seemingly oblivious to the turmoil that is unfolding elsewhere. But the young man has come from a faraway place, full of passion and a desire for freedom. He is from the Valley of Ronda, and he has met Consuela Biaz along the way. She has been a source of solace for him, a reminder of the goodness and beauty that still exist in the world. In the end, he returns to her, dying against her shoulder as she cradles him in her arms.
The song is a poignant reminder of the power of human compassion and the resilience of the human spirit even in the face of great hardship. It speaks to the idea that even in the darkest of times, there can be moments of light and hope, and that the kindness of others can be a balm for the wounds we carry.
