Or should that be "Slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayer!" *devil horns* I know some of you are interested: SLAYER FOUR-DISC BOX SET SOUNDTRACK TO THE APOCALYPSE FEATURES ALBUM TRACKS, RARITIES AND DVD OF LIVE PERFORMANCES; FIVE-DISC DELUXE EDITION ADDS CONCERT CD... Slayer, the fastest, heaviest and darkest band on the planet, goes to extremes for its first retrospective. A three-CD/one-DVD box set regular edition and four-CD/one-DVD specially packaged "ammo box" for the deluxe version, Soundtrack To The Apocalypse (American Recordings/UMe), released November 25, 2003, celebrates the visceral assault that is Slayer. A Slayer fan's ultimate experience, Soundtrack To The Apocalypse includes tracks spanning every Slayer album since 1986, soundtrack cuts, Japan-only tracks, more than a dozen rarities, and a DVD of live performances spanning 20 years, all digitally remastered. The deluxe edition adds a full-length concert CD from Slayer's 2002 God Hates Us All tour stop in Anaheim, CA, presented in a "blood pack" sleeve (with faux blood and floating skulls). The tour was the band's first with original drummer Dave Lombardo since 1992. The deluxe edition also includes a wall banner and replica backstage laminate. Both editions have an extensive booklet spotlighting a history based on interviews with each member and long-time producer Rick Rubin. Disc 1 opens with five tracks from Slayer's 1986 major label debut, Reign In Blood, considered the most brutal thrash metal album of all time. Among the fan favorites are "Postmortem" and "Raining Blood." The album was the first of four consecutive gold studio albums, an impressive feat for a band that receives little radio or MTV exposure. From 1988's South Of Heaven are five tracks, including the title track. Culled from 1990's Seasons In The Abyss are another quintet, including "Dead Skin Mask." 1991's live Decade Of Aggression contributes three--"Chemical Warfare" and "Hell Awaits" among them. Disc 2 continues the chronology with five recording |

Disc 2 continues the chronology with five recordings from 1994's Divine Intervention, three from 1996's Undisputed Attitude, a trio from 1998's Diabolus In Musica and another three from 2001's God Hates Us All. Songs heard on various soundtracks are joined by two cuts previously unreleased in the U.S. from the Japanese Diabolus In Musica, two more from the import God Hates Us All and a bonus cover of the Suicidal Tendencies' "Memories Of Tomorrow" from the Japan-only Undisputed Attitude. Disc 3 focuses on rarities, from the earliest known Slayer recordings (previously unreleased 1983 live tracks) to seminal tracks taken from the band's garage rehearsals and even home demo recordings. The Disc 4 DVD showcases performances throughout the band's career and throughout the world as well as various TV appearances from singer-bassist Tom Araya, guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, and Lombardo. Slayer is the band all other such heavy bands are measured against, defining not only a genre but an attitude. As Marc Paschke writes in the liner notes: "It's about restrained aggression and impending danger. It's about the dark cloud that fills the room, energized by the anger and hate and hostility of the audience…Most of all, it's about feeling good." |

None of the early stuff obviously cause it's on a different label, but FIVE from South Of Heaven? FIVE from Divine Intervention? The rarities and bonuses sound interesting, but if you want a Slayer "Best Of" just buy Reign In Blood. End. |

Thats awsome man.... Slayer never was my big thing.. but uh.. they are very good... very. This sounds real sweet and I know quite a few people who will love it. |
||||||||

|
slayer...not my thing either obituary = yes PS reflex that's a cannibal ciorpse av, right? fucking awesome man I've seen one of their shirts that says "dead chicks don't say no" it was pretty funny. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
wow yeah, i don't often, um actually never listen to slayer but have a big black slayer sticker on my little bomb hyundi car and appreciate death metal as total committment to a style of music. I'd like to hear some actually its been a few years, i think Seasons in the abyss was my favourite. I also badly want a slayer t-shirt. |

i can't take slayer seriously...but when you just want to drive around, scream along and throw fists out your window to the beat, then yeah, slayer's perfect. but that's about as far as i've let it go. heh. =] that decade of aggression is all i have. *shrugs* it's got all the biggies, so i don't have much need for any of their other albums. |

Obituary were brilliant :) I was mad about Slayer for like ten years. They're old and fat and ridiculous now but when they put their foot down it's still exhilerating. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw them live some years ago and i have one?? album...so perhaps not the biggest fan hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have "Reign in blood"... great album! I really like it. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I bet you god listens to slayer. Hes like "Right on ! New slayer Box set !!!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok so did anyone buy the boxed set? i was tempted but damn i'm not that much of a slayer fan to lay down sixty bucks or whatever best buy was charging as their sale price. (i also wanted the johnny cash boxed set, didn't get that either.) |

My friends are going to shit themselves!!! Thanks Jar!!! Man the concert was intense! |

Isn't Tool the darkest metal band ever? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo, not by a long shot. i'll let a real metal head come up w/ a list but from the modest amount i know about metal i definitely disagree. i don't think tool go for a dark sound anyway, just dense, involving, and a bit arty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I completely agree with arty. Tool is by no means dark. I would say Dimmu Borger (SP) is darkish |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I, myself, am more hyped for the cannibal corpse box set |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay i would so fucking buy the slayer box set (saw a advert for it on tv the other day for it too) if i didn't already own most of their schtuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and i'm VERY sure God just loooves the lyrics to "Disciple" i think that's one of my favortie tracks of theirs ever, even though it's "newer" material. *me screams "god hates us all, god hates us aaaaaaallllllll" at the top of his lungs* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*me continues to scream "yeahhefuckinhatesme" and goes into an awesome air guitar solo* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tool isn't dark. What the motherfuck!? Have you read their lyrics and seen their videos? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love slayer - listen to them at least once a day. I fucking grew up with that music, practically. been listening to them since Hell Awaits, when I was about nine or ten, because I had an older brother who introduced me to it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i drive around listening to them as loud as possible in my shitty truck with one shit speaker going and they can still make me feel like the baddest motherfucker on the block. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
YES, currently looking for it in eBay I saw it in The Omega, the shop of The End Records but will try to find it little cheaper www.theendrecords.com |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
they write some okay-good songs.. but the guitar solos are almost always annoying and wanky.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
reign in Blood... oh yes the memories, the memories... (slips on studded wristband) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and bullet belt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree, but then again, when they released their stuff back in the eighties (reign, south etc), solos like that was fucking awesome. Listening to them now they can be somewhat wanky, yes. Still, the riffs they've produced are still beyond anything else I've heard. The level of simplicity on some of these riffs is hilarious. A lot of it is so fucking simple to play. tune down - generate random bullshit riff :) |
