Description
The palm-muted crawl and Lombardo’s measured kick in South of Heaven announce the band’s late-80s pivot into atmosphere and dread. On South of Heaven, they let riffs breathe without losing menace. Recorded with Rick Rubin, the move from Reign in Blood’s whiplash to measured cruelty feels deliberate and, frankly, more unsettling. Mandatory Suicide rides a grim, lurching groove, its dynamics doing the violence. A fierce Judas Priest cover hammers home the lineage and just how tight this lineup was.
This LP pressing lets the low end sit deeper, and imaging sharpens around Hanneman and King so those crawling harmonies really loom. Crank it and you’ll catch the pick scrapes, the little ghost notes, and Tom Araya holding back more than he ever had to. It belongs next to your classic British steel and late-80s thrash staples, but the mood here is colder and more single-minded.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Slayer records online with us.
Long-time fans know this is the flip side to their breakneck era, the one you reach for when a darker shade is required. New listeners get an accessible entry point into the band’s catalogue without sacrificing the sting. Play it front to back and the intent clicks.
Available to buy online with quick delivery Australia wide, or pick it up in our Melbourne record store.
