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
- The 1st pressing 2002 CD re-issue by Attic Records has similar martix/runout, but with "CINRAM" as logotype. The 2nd pressing has "CINRAM" as no logotype in matrix/runout. 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
- Re-issued in 2019 as a 12" limited edition colored vinyl by Hammerheart Records, limited to 1000 copies

Features from Windows 10 that could be updated with new functionality, including Cortana, Edge, and all in-box Universal Windows apps, are also not included. Feature updates are offered in new LTSC releases every 2–3 years instead of every 6 months, and organizations can choose to install them as in-place upgrades or even skip releases over a 10-year life cycle. Microsoft is committed to providing bug fixes and security patches for each LTSC release during this 10 year period.
