"Show No Mercy" is the debut album by the thrash metal band from Huntington Park in California.

Formed in 1981, Slayer stormed the world with a new blend of metal and punk - harder, faster and darker than anyone else - and set a new standard that defined not only a genre, but also an attitude. Throughout Slayer's history, the band has never ceased to unleash their extreme and focused sonic assault, and against all temptations, Slayer have always chosen to remain crunching and brutal, steadfastly refusing to conform to the mainstream.

Reviews

"The '40th Anniversary Edition' also includes a new mastering. This has been carried out by the competent hands of Patrick W. Engel. He manages to blow some of the dust out of the production without taking away the album's raw quality." (VISIONS, March 2024)
