The Swedes have always been masters of metal. Merciless is merciless!!!
And the true Merciless for sure! Dark Angel aggression with a Possessed music section....one of best DM albums in my collection next to Massecre from beyond to Oblivion from this day forward.
@@hellrazorofficial9178 Great analysis...
And the Norwegians too!! 🤘🔥😈
I'm a straight up Oi! Punk but my lady Is a Metal head I love your Band can we book you a gig in East L.A.??
La popularidad de esta banda en Chile se debe en gran parte a su generosidad a la hora de promover su LP. El disco fue distribuido gratuitamente a varias Funzines chilenas y sumado al excelente sonido y los sublimes temas fueron unos de los mas preciados exponentes del Death por estos lares. En lo personal todavía me resuena ese bajo y esos timbales en los sesos, como sonaba ese vinilo conchemimare!!!!!
Anal Vomit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lml
Bien dicho wn salud ctm!¡
Buena. Recuerdo que un generoso me lo copió a un Maxell que aún guardo como tesoro. Se veían hartos tipos paseándose con ese vinilo en el Paseo Las Palmas.
Lo escuche en la misma época que salio, y desde ahí es uno de mis top ten.
La mensa cuea tener ese ANTI-MOSH 001 en estos días.
Carbonized brought me here, and I ain't mad. This is so killer. Brings me back to the golden late 80s early 90s, complete with those concert tom drum fills.
Thank you Merciless and Euronymous, (RIP legend), for this raw metal masterpiece .
Probably the best Death/Thrash band ever! Love these guys.
SADUS?????????
As good as death-thrash gets.....MERCILESS, AGRESSOR, PROTECTOR, MASSACRA, INSANITY, SADUS...All top notch!!!
don't forget Demolition Hammer
Vocals sound more like Black metal
@@derjeniche5409the vocals sound like Kreator
@@VitaTristis True, Kreator´s early works have really evil black metal vocals.
@@derjeniche5409 true
Blackened death thrash. The ultimate genre \m/
An album with the seal of approval of Euronymous.
The perfect band, the perfect album, the perfect label.
What a relentless, savage and oh so enjoyable album. At 27 minutes, it feels just right and I can listen to it repeatedly, to be honest.

Now this is proper metal man, this is the stuff I live to listen to man.
I heard this back in -91 I instantly got hooked... They had me for dinner! :D
Okay man
Ok maaaan. Pass the joint.
Yea man
nice man
A BIG influence from Kreator's pleasure to kill from '86.
I def hear that
my first thought as well! i'd say i prefer this album though.
Jakob Wilder Must tell yeah! But with another crispy taste indeed.
Drum sound is crazy similar. And that's not a bad thing
Pleasure To Kill influenced lots of European DM bands in the late 80's.
Just took a plane ride sitting next to these guys, they were incredibly nice people. Very talkative and polite. They’re going on tour in the US right now and will be in Chicago the 21st, check it out if ya can!!!
This is stupidly fast, heavy and brutal. Excellent.
No, it's cleverly fast, heavy and brutal.
This is more Dark than "brutal".
@@Mitchery Stufu posser
They have the Sadus/Dark Angel Speed, with Sarcophagus and Bathory's aggression and vocal style. Perfect combination.
@@Mitchery llolop
I had to spend 120 dollars on ebay to get this album, and you know what? It was worth every penny!!!!
if you paid 120 for a good condition 1st press then you made out like a bandit
Mastema fuck reissue
yuyuhaki1 I remember purchasing Abruptum’s 2nd album on EBay and paying $50 for it. I dig them ‘cause they were so unique mixing Black Metal with the agonizing ambience.
The "true" first press is the one with the red ring around it, which took me nearly 6 years to find one and an entire month's worth of my paycheck.
I have 0 regrets.
Collectors fuck up the essence in metal.
I got the reissue then record it on a tape and then bought new walkman for the tape and all that for 120$.
Fuck collectors.
the use of key changes throughout the album is very good. it is a big part of what makes it very good music.
Hands down one of the top 3 best bands ever to emerge from Sweden
you should listen to bathory, opeth and bloodbath if you think they are one of the top 3 bands from Sweden. but yes, merciless is pretty fucking good too.
Merciless, Bathory, Marduk, Dissection, dead from Mayhem, Entombed
Btw this is Rotting_Flesh just on my father's desktop
Y'all forget Draconian
@@tahsinahmed7172Opeth is trash. Entombed, Carnage, and Dismember shits on their shitty career
This is pretty great. Can't believe this came out in 1990. Heavy riffage.
Believe it! Consuming Impulse came out in 89'
@@blastbeetb.3045 Altars of Madness too
Holy Shit! This is great! I googled bands like sadus, now I am here!
+Exx Tom Sounds very Sadus-like, indeed
I met the Singer today when Buying some TeakOil at the Paintshop where he works here in Sweden...🤘☮

I was just about to comment here about it, yes it's very confusing, same thing is happening with the bands Masacre and Masacra
this and Morbid Saint sounds very alike, its the greatest thrash and death metal mix ever
@@45rockinwax LOL. Neither of these albums has anything to do with black metal.
This band and Demolition Hammer are definitely the best death thrash bands
Merciless
Morbid Saint
Demilition Hammer
Massacra
Pestilence
Ripping Corpse
Assassin
SAME SPIRIT
@@brunovallesmunoz4757 What about early Sepultura?
@@Mitchery
All the outstanding brazilian staff...Mutilator, Sarcofago, Vulcano, Holocausto, (Early) Sepultura, Dorsal Atlantica, Anthares, Taurus, etc...
I usually don't like speed/death sound but this is so dark, evil and underground, perfect
It's thrash. But I understand why someone'd mistake it for death. honestly I'd make that mistake as well.
@@skyline2601the difference is obvious, you’re just a pinhead
At the time of release it was found in death metal section at record stores not in the thrash section. And many fan zines also label them deathmetal
Estos sujetos saben crear sonido del infierno. Es un excelente trabajo!!!!!
I still love this album, a true classic.
So underatted. This album means so much to metal.

A pesar d no haber contado con estos adelantos , por el contrario , en la más penosa precariedad , estos desgraciados y todos eran valorados mucho más , por su esfuerzo , ingenio en recursos , dedicación , amor y obvio su creación en un nuevo estilo musical el cual ahora la mayoría d las nuevas bandas creen ser dioses , si dioses en copiar lo q estos verdaderos proceres del metal les indicaron el camino. Gracias por ser cómplice del '85 de esta hermosa mierda del metal. Desde COPIAPO CHILE. KMOT

I just listened to this album 4 times in a row !
wow on youtube? Thanks for sharing!
DDDAAAANNNNNGGGG SICK ASS FOO!!!!
Bought this from Bård "Faust" Eithun back in 1990.
One of my best buy ever!
It is 2017 now, and this sound fantastic!
Pølcifer Pøffer lucky you. I’m sure that was a fucking chance of a lifetime
did u touch his willy?
@S K G He killed a weird gay dude.
@@tophercf508 No.
Not really.
It was not that hard to get hold on when it was just released.
But Bård had some small buisniss, selling t shirts, demos, vinyls. Zines etc
So it just happend that I got it from him.
Think I paid 120kr.
Now it goes for 1500, if not more.
@TheBoi353 I never met Varg.
But I met Øystein in his shop Helvete.
He was nice and polite.
This is pure evil this is Hell music metal gods Mercilles
Uno de los más bestiales albums jamás realizados,ese sonido se oye vigente todavía.
Still awesome. Saw them live back in -92..
With Tiamat and Unleashed.. It was a pretty great show, and I was 17...
@@glohitia666happen to have any old shirts by them?
Im fuckin still here
Burnt it on booze. And headbanged while them was sold. Duh
I'm in Metal Heaven...... Merciless never disappoints \m/
metal heaven is also called hell haha
@@maximbalmos4908 same same hehe
Classic Early Thrash/Death Metal. I do like it alot. Reminds me of early Morbid Angel(i.e altars of madness) and Possessed( i.e seven churches) Love the grotesque reverb drenched vocals.
Great Black thrash album
Jim Mutilator from Rotting Christ mentioned this album so thought ill check it out. Ευχαριστώ ρε Πατσουρι
Just bought this for Christmas today 🤘
Their most violent record, a brutal mix of Pleasure to Kill and Into the Macabre, this and Spectrum of Death would go great together.

... another good one is DESULTORY 🇸🇪 from Sweden, Scandinavian Death-Metal/ Death 'n' Roll excellence ('Into Eternity' 1993 full-length is still one of my all-time favorite records) ... 🤘 🇸🇪
These guys are almost as hardcore as Five Finger Death Punch (my favorite band) 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 ROCK ON
Hell yeah!!
Lol I forgot that I posted this almost a year ago 😂. I hope everyone knows that this is a pretty obvious troll 😂 😂 😂
Agressor - Neverending Destiny is another good spastic fast thrash/death album like this.
The first Merciless album I bought was "The Treasures Within." Can't remember if I bought Deceased's "Luck of the Corpse" before or after that. Black and Death metal for me, for life \m/

Anti-Mosh 001... Deluxe release for brutal people in the words of Euronymous. Imagine all the bands he would have signed with...
Great to hear this again it has been way to long
Nice sound and cool drums
One the favorite bands of Pelle Ohlin..
And frens
even tho I dislike him, he has a great taste.
@@hillevii88 What is there possibly to dislike about Pelle?
@@spritefroggy Are you kidding me...
I just got this album in today on limited clear vinyl re released on Osmose.
Killer!
Very underrated classic that flew under the radar of most people. In my opinion better than all the bigger death/thrash bands. Never gets boring, perfection.
This album is trash. Fast doesn’t translate to good song writing.
@@jewel_throne2950 You sound like a first class pooooooooooooser brah, brah. Time to get a reeducation in metal.

Houston from houston 20 already
40 people have period.
50 already lol
60 already XD
65
Muzik padu....👍
en toute la splendeur !!!! vivement Octobre les potes !! salut VERNON !!!!
This is actually BETTER than old Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, etc.
Merciless delivered the best early european thrash/death of those times, I you ask me.
It is no better than Kreator or Destruction just another great band !
this is maybe a darker version of Sadus. and extremely fast, but you cannot compare this to "persecution mania" or coma of souls·its like comparing a rabid dog beside a trained german shepperd..cheers!
claudio cruzat
Agreed. People on tubes sometimes blether mindlessly just to attract attention, but most of the time it doesn't work. This band can't hold a candle to legends.
claudio cruzat
You can compare this to those albums if you want. Persecution Mania is really great album. Still in my humble opinion The Awakening is waaayyy better then the platters of Sodom and Kreator. More evil, raw, darker, faster. And Coma of Souls is utterly crap record i hate that record! Looks completly emo compared to this. Those German shephards will be killed by this pure wolf.
"No fear of tomorrow
Because there is none
End of all life
Dark is the sun"
AAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!
Fernis ss
I know you are not speaking to me but 'Coma of Souls' is on its own league (tech thrash) there it doesn't make sense to compare with full-throttle albums like this one or Kreator etc. (I know you did not compare though, and he did name it considering quality-wise) 'Coma of Souls' is one of the best tech thrash album ever done and overally a bit better album than 'Extreme Aggression' for me.
Saw this vinyl second hand in the vinyl shop just under my placem.will check conditions and see
Great early Black/Death

Ese disco es una joya!, tremendo álbum!
BRUTAL.... THE WAY IT SHOULD BE...
Back when thrashy sort of music was still powerful.
+wladdaimpala88 Because it was blended with death metal viciousness
some thrash still is that powerful
check out numskull from Chicago....ritually abused is the Album....it's nasty thrash just like this
And skeleton witch
Deathhammer!!!
Top half of the wood carving is candlemass tales of creation ... Pretty cool...
Euronymous did a great thing!
Trabalho de guitarras maravilhoso. Foda demais.
Kinda of " deeds not words". Direct, brutal, effective.
Que disco adorável... Suave como uma motoserra...
GRAZIE MERCILESS!!!!!!
Un álbum grandioso!
never heard this before. i//like it
This album is fucking great. Definitely influenced by KREATOR's pleasure to kill album.
Vocalist sounds very similar to Mille Petrozza. Love those blackened screams. \m/
Absolutely correct...sounds like Mille on Endless Pain and Pleasure to Kill.
@@marcdiego1 the riffing style too
stop to say shit , and stop to smoke that coop , Obviusly you are a posser , the most bad of the all possers , fukk off
So this was released in Euronymous' label.
Is Amazing sound !!
This is one of the most vicious albums ever. It's fucking savage.
Brutal ass death/thrash
with black metal vocals, there's just nothing like it and there never will be
Danant Hain Spectrum of death by morbid saint..enough said
Morbid saint is ok!!
Grotesque Snuff Morbid Saint is the be all end all when it comes to thrash metal.
That's your preference bud.

одна из лучших вещей когда либо произошедшая с дэт металом
Это треш/дэт
@@g1lart300 это смерть, даже не смертьметал, просто смерть.
I love the days when the distinction between death and black metal was less pronounced, such that early death metal had a blackish sound--though not as hybridized as actual blackened death metal.
Agreed! It meant that DM had more "feel" and BM more aggression
No 2nd wave without Grindcore even
Whoever started blasting on that snare as if the world was gonna end soon and blasting away on trhat snare was the only thing keeping his waist blasting away at some hungry std ridden pussy ( Siege from Boston ,a punk band started all this blast beats bs as far as I know. )Then bands like REpulsion, Napalm Death moved it to grindcore, Morbid angel to death metal and yeah ... the std moved to classics like Mayhem´s "de Mysteriis dom sathanas " ; Immortal´s "pure holocaust" etc etc
When people bring up genres my eyes glaze over, but I feel like I agree.
omdl i fuckin love siege so much
THIS.....IS.....GREEEEEEEAT!
El sello de Euronymous Produjo este disco ! Deathlike Silence
The best death thrash album! Fucking killer!
soy mauro ladilla death aca en peru esta banda llego a mediados de los 90 legitimo trash death metal fueron y seran bienvenidosen peru
good stuff...maybe a dark angel vibe i'm getting
Brutal Death metal!
🇸🇪 🤘🏻💀🤛 oh man that was awesome! I’m young again yay 😁
That hits the spot
Metaaalll !!!
Anti-Mosh 001 seems to be pretty nice!
2 & 3 though.
this one, 7, and 8 are the best.
I have it in my collection.
I paid like 12 USD for it.
Brutal álbum...los vi en vivo lml
riff and stuff great¡¡¡
fenriz sent me here, apparently this song inspired "skald au satans sol"
