In honor of ‘Show No Mercy’’s 40th anniversary, Metal Blade Records unleashes a special edition vinyl set that includes a gold black dust LP mastered for vinyl from the original master tapes by Patrick W Engel at TEMPLE OF DISHARMONY.

Formed in 1981, Slayer assaulted the world with a new hybrid of metal and punk – heavier, faster and darker than the rest – and set a new standard, defining not only a genre, but an attitude. Throughout Slayer’s history, the band never faltered in unleashing their extreme and focused aural assault, and repudiating temptations, Slayer always chose to remain crushing and brutal, steadfastly refusing to cater to the mainstream. ‘Show No Mercy’ is their debut studio, originally released on December 3, 1983, by Metal Blade Records.
