Rating:
"Show no mercy" is the debut for trash metal legends Slayer. When I first heard it I wasn't really impressed, but when I had listened to it a couple of times I got into it more. It's very melodic trash here, mostly fast-paced and the vocals well... at first I thought it was a joke. Araya doesn't have that much of a vocal talent, his voice is quite uneven, goes up and down all the time, sometimes he goes higher than even Kai Hansen ever went. But after a few listens, you get used to him.
And as for the guitarists, they're very skilled both of em I must say, they manage to create a lot of awesome riffs and solos together, especially in "Black magic" which features one of my new favorite metal-riffs of all time.
