Malicious Intent (album)
Malicious Intent is the third album released in 1986 by Canadian speed/thrash metal band Razor. The album contains more honed and intense screaming from frontman Stace McLaren and the tracks on it mostly contains lyrics about heroic fantasy and playing heavy metal. An exception to this might be "Tear Me to Pieces", with lyrics penned by McLaren about knife fighting. Malicious Intent is known for containing incredibly loud drum rides and overall poor production. The album itself is an overall turning point for Razor and shows them going from traditional heavy metal and speeding up to a more thrash metal-oriented sound.

Notes

They also contain a bonus track titled "Mosh", which begins with an unknown person playing the song "Jeepers Creepers" on the piano with Stace McLaren going on a swearing tirade, followed by a fast-paced measure played by the band throughout each session
