"No Remorse" is a James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich song from Kill 'Em All, the debut Metallica album that Megaforce Records put out in July 1983. It was cut that May at Music America Studios in Rochester, New York, with Paul Curcio producing, Chris Bubacz engineering and Megaforce boss Jon Zazula as executive producer, after Zazula heard the band's No Life 'til Leather demo and bankrolled the sessions.

Hetfield sings it and plays guitar alongside Kirk Hammett, who had only just replaced the fired Dave Mustaine, while Cliff Burton, the bassist the band moved to San Francisco to get, and Ulrich drive the bottom end. The record around it, loud and gleefully out of step with the early-'80s rock mainstream, came to be regarded as a groundbreaking thrash metal album.
