Pittsburgh (USA)-based darkwave/gothgrass band Dichro has released a new single and video, "Mercy", from the forthcoming full-length album due out in August via Distortion Productions. The song carries a message that we should have mercy not just in our everyday encounters, but free one another from judgement for choosing how to believe, if we believe, and what we believe. If we can start seeing one another with empathic eyes and hearts, perhaps we can rid our global atmosphere of so much fear and uncertainty. "Mercy" is an outreach piece.
Vocalist Charmaine Freemonk comments: "We are reaching out to ask that everyone calm down a bit, take a breath, and be more conscientious of our actions. It is a heartfelt plea that we consider whether we are helping or harming one another, practice empathy, and if we cannot help, to at least not harm."
The video for the single was created to accompany the song's story. It focuses on breaking free of indoctrination, a Kansas-to-Oz kind of transition into the light of spiritual freedom and exploration. Link
