Along with Metallica, Slayer were one of the pioneers in thrash metal. The difference is that while Metallica quickly moved into other metal territories, Slayer stayed pretty much where they began. "Show no Mercy" is perhaps their most melodic offering, and involves fast riffing, shouty vocals, and good thrash metal drumming. Although Venom brought out "Welcome to Hell" first, Slayer and Metallica arguably made thrash famous. Adding a load of speed to their nihilistic lyrics, Slayer became a cult favourite with underground metal fans across the globe. "The Antichrist" has an excellent riff, probably some of Slayer´s most melodic solos are found in this song (the first two). Araya´s vocals are excellent, the screamy bit he does "I am the Antichrist!" and the howls are terrific.
