'''''Expect No Mercy''''' is the ninth studio [[album]] by the [[Scotland|Scottish]] hard rock band [[Nazareth (band)|Nazareth]], released in [[1977 in music|1977]].
'''''Expect No Mercy''''' is the ninth studio album by Scottish [[hard rock]] band [[Nazareth (band)|Nazareth]], released in 1977. The original version was rejected by the label and these versions were the bonus tracks on the Salvo CD. The originally released version saw the reintroduction of a heaviness after the two previously more laid back albums and the tracks were noticeably shorter with only the final track clocking in at over four minutes.
