Slayer
Show no mercy
The tuning of the Bass on this record is E Standard (E-A-D-G). This is the first and last time Slayer ever tuned to E Standard.
They're just starting out so they haven't quite hit "their" sound or writing style at this point so there's a lot less of their trademark a-tonality and "whatever sounds evil" note choices on this record. It's more directly influenced by bands like Iron Maiden and Venom and some songs even have an almost 1-4-5 blues form (Black Magic, for example, goes from an E minor tonality up to A Major feel in places...)
