4.0 excellentGary STAFF | July 28th 20

Tasty Swede death-thrash assault. Tight and fierce riffs, quite great production accompanied by the sweet old-school aesthetics which brings a certain flavour into the whole thing... I love it. Is it just me, or is it kinda similar to Morbid's "December Moon"?

4.5 superbResident Metalhead Piranha | March 31st 17

Merciless didn't just blur the line between the line of thrash metal and death metal; they helped pave the way for death metal to take over and are credited as an influence on future black metal bands. The Awakening is their most vicious output to date, and even without blast beats, the music is played at ungodly speeds (usually floating around 300bpm and 320bpm). The guiat tone and riffs are venomous, and the vocals are truly vile in nature with a black metal style. A classic in both thrash and death metal, rarely has music sounded as vicious as this.

Merciless brings a fierce and "Merciless" death metal album. The album is full of hate and rage. The best aspect of the album is the guitar riffs.

Bump

4.5 superbBaphometConsumed | October 31st 10

One of the greatest thrash metal albums ever. This is violent, unrelenting, raw-as-fuck black/death/thrash metal, with excellent, razor-sharp riffwork, vicious snarled vocals, a gritty bass presence, and some of the most absurd tempos ever on a thrash LP. This slows down maybe a handful of times throughout and those sections are about as deadly as a shotgun blast to the face. What's not to love?

This is the ulimate Death/Thrash album. No band can surpass the agression of this band.
