Notes
Originally released on October 9th, 1990 by Def American Records.
It peaked number 40 on the US Billboard 200, later on certified gold in the U.S. and Canada.
Recording sessions began in March 1990 at Hit City West and Hollywood Sound, and ended in June 1990 at The Record Plant in Los Angeles, California.
It was the band's last album to feature original drummer Dave Lombardo until 2006's Christ Illusion. Seasons in the Abyss' musical style has been compared by critics to the band's previous two albums South of Heaven (1988) and Reign in Blood (1986).

Trochu prohlá, ale zvuk je super!!! tichá... a bicí neuvěřitelné:-))
-
Accidently received this version after purchasing the 2022 version (Sellers Honest Mistake) thought I would give it a spin and glad I did.
Overall the quality of the pressing is perfectly flat with little to no surface noise. Sonically great seperation with Jeff & Kerry both owing the left and right speaker. After adjusting my 2x subs I got Dave Lomardos kick drums to the point where they sounded monstrous (those 'fill's' on the title track alone are worth the money).
The vocal mix on the pressing is the best I've ever heard, Tom is crystal clear, the tone of his vocals is somewhat (slightly) different that the CD & Cassette versions that I've owned in the past.
Very happy indeed, I hope to one day hear the 2022 to compare, but for now no point spending more money this is a killer version and perhaps the Metal God's were smiling on me this time round.
To help others, the equipment used to play this album is a follows::
Audio Technica AT-LP7
Rega Aria MK3 (Phono Pre-Amp)
KEF LS50 Meta
2x REL T/7i
A pleasure to highly recommend to others.
Cheers

I think I have a variant of this. I bought it in 1991. The inner ring has 1 24307-2, SRC+03, M2S15 -
I'm looking for a shrink-wrapped or well-preserved SLAYER longbox and would pay a very good price for it

Enter The Abyss. I honestly can't tell the difference between this "remastered" version and another CD copy that I own. Seasons In The Abyss is a Top 10 album for me, which I accidentally stumbled across because of my mom's ranting against a Judas Priest album I was listening to. Thankfully I decided to do her one better and found an even "worse" band to listen to. And thank God I did. Every track rips your face off and shoves it right up your ass. Absolutely phenomenal. Thanks mom! -
Edited one year agoDamn what a pressing! So close to an og! A must have for any slayer fan. Vinyl is dead silent, flat, amazing soundstage. Matrix runout 01023482-A-2 (B-2) Volume is spot on, not low at all, just a superb pressing. Im curious to know who are the guys pressing these anyways? Well they did an fantastic job! Put this on and your gonna think its an og trust me...lol..no regrets. Got this gem for $29CAD

Sound isn't all that bad, little low, a tad muffled... separation as noted elsewhere not perfect -

Looking for the cover only to this album if anybody has one. -

Despite hype sticker indicating a gatefold jacket it is not. Just like the same green vinyl reissue of South of Heaven. -

My copy has a glossy cover, does anyone has the same? I bought it like if it was a bootleg but now have many doubts
