Description
Show No Mercy is the debut studio album by American thrash metal band Slayer, released on December 3, 1983, by Metal Blade Records. 2021 marks 38 years since SHOW NO MERCY's release and it remains a true "right of passage" release and a must have in the collection of any true "metalhead"! In early 1983 Metal Blade owner Brian Slagel saw Slayer open a show for Bitch at the Woodstock Theater in Los Angeles. Blown away, he asked the band if it would submit a track to his upcoming compilation album Metal Massacre III. They agreed and when he heard the song they turned in, "Aggressive Perfector," Slagel offered Slayer a record contract. On Dec. 3, 1983, the band released its scorching debut, Show No Mercy. The rest, they say... is history.
