RIP Mercy: Fiamma Fumana and "Mercy is Dead"

Mercy is Dead is the title of our random song for today, by the Italian group Fiamma Fumana. Formed 1999, the band mixes traditional Italian music, particularly the female vocal tradition of Northern Italy, with electronica. Their name translates as "flame fog" or "fire mist." They started out as a trio, but added two members for their second album, and use a mix of modern, traditional and electronic instrumentation. Mercy is Dead can be found on their 2003 album Home. The song is an anti-fascist protest song.
