Widespread Bloodshed, the ccrossover hardcore/thrash release from Venice, CA band No Mercy will see a re-release later this month from Suicidal Records (Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves). The classic album  featured ST’s Cyko Myko Mike Muir on vocals and future (and now past) ST member Mike Clark. Clark would go on to bring the true crossover style to ST, creating thrash metal classics such as How Will I Laugh Tomorrow and Lights… Camera… Revolution!  Some versions of these tracks were collected once before on the ST release Controlled By Hatred/Feel Like Shit/Deja Vu (Epic) in 1989, but were not the original versions of the songs.

From The Press Release:

Suicidal Records is proud to announce their plans of re-releasing the entire collective works by legendary crossover outfit, No Mercy, this October.

Founded by Mike Clark in the mid-’80s, before he became a part of the dominating Suicidal Tendencies, No Mercy only released one album amidst touring regionally on the West Coast in the band’s short-lived history, yet those songs left an impressive impact on the scene forever. With Clark handling all guitar duties, joined by bassist (and O.G. Suicidal artist) Ric Clayton, drummer Sal Troy, and Suicidal’s Mike Muir on vocals, Widespread Bloodshed (Love Runs Red) was engineered by Palm Neal and produced by Mike Muir, and after being originally released on LP and cassette by Suicidal Tendencies’ own Suicidal Records in 1987, now, over two-and-a-half decades since it’s been available, the label will reissue these timeless anthems in upgraded quality.

Remastered by “Big Bass” Brian Gardner at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood, Widespread Bloodshed (Love Runs Red) will be released in the US on October 28th (also Mike Clark’s birthday) on CD, download as well as traditional black vinyl and picture disc LP versions. The record will see release in Europe the day before on CD and digital only.
