 ... and Hanneman in the bridge. The song comes to a climax with crushing guitar strums, matched by Lombardo's snares. It's a song about a fallen angel who turns to the devil to set his soul free, returning to wreak havoc on the people of earth. "Die by the Sword" dishes out more of the same evil thrash metal with a song that has some tricky hooks that follow on from some meaty riffs. It's probably a continuation of the previous song and it's sending out a message that Satan's minions are here on earth willing to ...more

"Show No Mercy" is the debut studio album by American thrash metal band, Slayer. It was released in 1983 on Metal Blade Records and produced by Brian Slagel. The line-up for the album was Tom Araya (vocals/bass), Jeff Hanneman (guitar), Kerry King (guitar) and Dave Lombardo (drums). So here it is, the very first Slayer album - one of the pioneering thrash metal albums that people sat up and took note. Some wondered what the hell it was, others warmed to it like a breath of fresh air. Slayer was formed in Huntington Park, California in 1981 by Oakland native Jeff Hanneman and Los Angeles born Kerry King. The two guitarists then recruited Chilean Tom ...  Read the complete review

For those who may not know: NWOBHM = New Wave of British Heavy Metal. :) ============ 'Show No Mercy' is a fantastic album that is often over-looked by their most popular album that sold millions 'Reign in Blood'. Those who only concentrate on the only album is themselves losing out; as this is a fantastically solid album with 10 songs based pure speed/thrash with hints of NWOHBM. They refined this album as aggressive NWOHBM; which then lead to the formation of thrash metal in their later albums. Some people might find it lacking in raw power/aggressiveness, they will find that instead interesting song-writing, great melodic solos and catchy ...  Read the complete review

First of all, let me state that I am a huge Slayer fan. Okay, that aside, this isn't their best album. "Reign In Blood", "South Of Heaven" and "Seasons In The Abyss" all vie for that title (though the first is my favourite). In truth, there's nothing wrong with this album. It's in the same early 80s thrash style that many other Metal Blade acts, DRI, SOD and other bands had. There are some classic Slayer songs on here, such as "Black Magic" and "Die By The Sword". There's nothing that stands out as letting the side down - from the opening "Evil Has No Boundaries" to the ...  Read the complete review
