Live: Decade Of Aggression 2XLP

Album Details

Ten studio albums of original material, thousands of live shows and over three decades into a career that's made them one of the biggest and most important metal bands in the world - the music of thrash metal legends Slayer is as brutal as it is beautiful, as punishing as it is precise, and as uncompromising as it is influential. The Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot hailed Slayer as "one of the great American rock bands of the last 30 years, forget about genre." Indeed, few bands come close to matching the intensity that Slayer - past and present - brings to its album releases and live shows. The band has received numerous nominations and awards, including four Grammy nods and two wins. Now, the single most distinctive and radical thrash metal band of all-time, will see its ten American Recordings albums reissued on vinyl courtesy of Universal Music Group including Reign In Blood (1986), South of Heaven (1988), Seasons In The Abyss (1990), Live: Decade of Aggression (1991), Divine Intervention (1994), Undisputed Attitude (1996), Diabolus in Musica (1998), God Hates Us All (2001), Christ Illusion (2006), and World Painted Blood (2009). Recorded in 1990 and 1991 during live dates in Lakeland, FL, at Wembley Arena in London, and in San Bernardino, CA,Slayer's hard charging double album Decade Of Aggression captures the band's original lineup - Tom Araya (vocals, bass), Jeff Hanneman (guitar), Kerry King (guitar) and Dave Lombardo (drums) - burning through material from their 1980's albumsShow No Mercy, Reign in Blood and South of Heaven along with 1990 release Seasons in the Abyss.
