    When Slayer was Black Metal, a True Black Metal record. NOBODY of the '90s black metal 'wave' knew that, not EVEN Euronymous. And they STILL don't know it today.

        What fun after almost 40 years to look into which pressing I have and find that I have the tan label 1st press all this time ever since I was 13.

          Bought this one in a record store as an import in Belgium.It wasn't released in Europe yet. It was recommended by a friend who had a metal fanzine.
          Stil playing this for my metal friends. It was a big deal in 83.

                  "Here you have SLAYER dressed in all black leather, studs, spikes and of course, Kerry with his nail wristband, opening for a group with band that looked prettier than the woman in the grow did. Jeff and I stayed to watch them, and after a few too many beers, Jeff turned to me and said 'A few more beers and I'd fuck the guitar player'. In the beginning there were no Speed Metal bands to share a bill with and very few Heavy Metal bands." -From SNAKEPIT Heavy Metal Magazine interview with old SLAYER manager. Get that magazine if you love the real Heavy Metal!

                    I have the broken razor blade center label Metal Blade logo on the vinyl record. So I just created a new release submission (see if it gets approved). I think it’s a later release than the bloody axe logo...

                      Boo to the two star review below. Any band who does a tune after Kit in the Night Rider series gets kudos in my book! Lombardo on drums is more than fine. Die by the Sword is a must have at all weddings. This was polished in 82-83 and released late in 83'. Nineteen years before 2002. Seeing these boys live in 84' were only second to Venom in scare/badass factor. Let the neighbors know your there. Slap on Show No Mercy and point the La Scalas in their general direction. The cover alone is worth the price of ission. Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax went commercial for the bucks. and this paid off well for all of them. Slayer stayed true to form, off MTV, off the radio with no commercial backing..... A true underground fan based metal band.
