LABEL: American Recordings VINYL RELEASE DATE: 12/24/2013 ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 1991 VARIANT: Black Vinyl 2LP
Following an epic and supremely evil five-album run, Big 4 menaces Slayer recorded one of metal’s most impressive and, yes, aggressive live albums ever. 1991’s Decade of Aggression finds Slayer at the height of their powers — an all-out wrecking ball of thrash-intensified fury relentlessly smashing itself against a live audience. Captured across a trio of concerts, it features blistering, but extremely dialed-in and expertly destructive performances of “War Ensemble,” “Angel of Death” and more. A hellacious concert album from one of the best to ever do it, Decade of Aggression is as mandatory a listen as any of Slayer’s studio works.
