Merciless "The awakening" LP (red vinyl)

This total cult classic was originally released on the legendary Deathlike Silence Records in 1990 (!!), "The Awakening" is a milestone in extreme metal history. Straddling the line between death and thrash metal, Merciless unleashed a ferocious blend of speed, aggression, and innovation that set new standards for both genres. With chainsaw tremolo riffs, hyper-snare drumming, and shrieking vocals, Merciless pushed thrash metal to its breaking point while pioneering the brutality of death metal. Tracks like “Pure Hate” and “Souls of the Dead” deliver an unrelenting assault, blending Kreator’s intensity with Bathory and Sodom’s rawness, but faster, tighter, and more unhinged. Essential for fans of speed, chaos, and mayhemic death/thrash. Comes in blood red vinyl.
