Description
Tracked at Track Record with Bill Metoyer in 1984, the Haunting the Chapel EP catches Slayer turning speed into pure menace. Slotted between Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits, it’s the moment the riffing tightens and the evil edge hardens. It’s a lean, three-song assault that planted the seeds for Reign in Blood. Chemical Warfare still jolts; the opening riff claws forward before Kerry King’s strafing runs kick in. Captor of Sin is where Dave Lombardo’s double-kick turns machine-like, while Tom Araya’s yelp cuts clean through. The title track slows to a nasty lurch midway, all palm-mute and tension.
At 45RPM, transients snap harder and the low end sits deeper, giving these early recordings some welcome breathing room. File it next to early Metallica, but the evil streak here is sharper and less bluesy. If you’d rather order from home, you can buy Slayer records online with us. This is the Metal Blade-era snapshot you pull when you want the raw blueprint, not the later gloss.
Spun loud in a small Melbourne share house or saved for a late drive, it does the job.
We make it easy to buy Slayer records online or pick up a copy in our Melbourne record shop.
