No Grounds For Pity was a compilation album of early demo material (including a 1986 demo of the same name) by the New York hardcore band, Sheer Terror. The tracks were recorded between 1985 and 1988 and released in Europe on Blackout Records in 1996 – a year after the band made their first major label release, Love Songs For the Unloved, on MCA Records.

The album demonstrates the heavy metal influenced hardcore punk style of the band and the production is suitably raw – nearly every track initiates with a brief blast of feedback leading to heavily distorted guitar riffs.
