Description

Luxurious 40th anniversary edition on gold black dust vinyl in a slipcase with gold hot-foil embossing. The album also comes with booklet, slipmat, poster, flyers and card.

Released at the forefront of the early-’80s thrash movement, Show No Mercy proved to be only a small step toward Slayer’s domination of the extreme metal scene, basically amounting to a cleaned-up version of black metal stalwarts Venom. Everything about this album, from the production to the musicianship, is amateurish compared to later releases, but in the same way Metallica was on their own debut, Kill ‘Em All. Despite the band’s shortcomings, a number of future classics are present on this album, including concert favorites “The Antichrist,” “Die by the Sword,” and “Black Magic.” Show No Mercy remains a solid, if inessential, part of the Slayer legacy.
