"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.
