Review - :
Released at the forefront of the early-'80s {\thrash} movement, {^Show No Mercy} proved to be only a small step toward {$Slayer}'s domination of the extreme {\metal} scene, basically amounting to a cleaned-up version of {\black metal} stalwarts {$Venom}. Everything about this album, from the production to the musicianship, is amateurish compared to later releases, but in the same way {$Metallica} was on their own debut, {^Kill 'Em All}. Despite the band's shortcomings, a number of future classics are present on this album, including concert favorites {&"The Antichrist,"} {&"Die by the Sword,"} and {&"Black Magic."} {^Show No Mercy} remains a solid, if inessential, part of the {$Slayer} legacy. [The 1987 reissue includes three tracks from the {^Haunting the Chapel} EP, though those have since been omitted in favor of both records being independently re-released.] ~ Jeremy Ulrey, All Music Guide
