As SLAYER prepares its return to the stage in September 2024, we refresh your memories regarding the origins of America’s most evil thrash metal band. A little over 40 years ago, SLAYER blasted their way through the boundaries of Hell, and delivered their blistering debut SHOW NO MERCY. We rejoice in the arrival, and celebrate the legacy, going track by track with live versions and tributes by Dissection, Entombed, the Chasm, Wolf, Necrophobic, Gruesome, Noisem, and more. Join the final command… and know Your Roots!
Feast your fanatical eyes on SLAYER during the first half of the 1980s in dozens of vintage photos, plus shots of Kerry King joining Megadeth for that band’s first shows, all in the legendary MURDER IN THE FRONT ROW: Shots From the Bay Area Thrash Metal Epicenter.
