Show No Mercy - Slayer

...Final Command 9. Crionics 10. Show No Mercy Evil Has No Boundaries =================== The album opener and what a cracker to set us going. The pace and intensity of this song intice the listener. The amateur side is shown also as you can hear Kerry Kings guitar when it's just about to come in, but this aside it's a classic song.

Why I use this unusual trickis actually completely simple: because 21 years are a long time. And the scene of Thrashmetal was in the meantime to some extent turned up.
