Formed in 1981,Slayerassaulted the world with a new hybrid of metal and punk heavier, faster and darker than the rest and set a new standard, defining not only a genre, but an attitude. ThroughoutSlayer’shistory, the band never faltered in unleashing their extreme and focused aural assault, and repudiating temptations, always choosing to remain crushing and brutal, steadfastly refusing to cater to the mainstream. In October 2021 the five-time nominated, two-time Grammy winners deliver a suite of vinyl reissues of their classic recordsShow No Mercy(1983),Haunting the Chapel(1984),Live Undead(1984), andHell Awaits(1985) via Metal Blade Records.Live Undeadfeatures five tracks fromSlayer’sdebut,Show No Mercywhich was issued a year prior, one cut from the three-songHaunting The ChapelEP and the non-album track “Aggressive Perfector.” The songs fundamentally follow the heavy handed arrangements of their studio counterparts, but are enhanced with an added energy and menace that was vital toSlayer’sexciting early period.
