Reissues

Metal Blade is an independent heavy metal label that was founded in Los Angeles, CA on February 1, 1982 by Brian Slagel. Over the years, Metal Blade has gained a reputation for launching the careers of numerous popular metal bands including Metallica, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, and many others.

The label has gone through various changes in its label codes and variants throughout the years. From 1982 to 1983, they used "tan labels and axe with blood stains" for most releases. However, there were exceptions such as "black labels" available only on the Metal Massacre compilation and "custom tan labels" for certain releases like Bitch's Damnation Alley.

In 1984, Metal Blade switched to using "silver labels and axe with blood stains," which were actually used only in that year. Some pressings from this period with earlier dates are actually from 1984. These silver labels were also reused in the 2016 reissues of Slayer's Show No Mercy album. Additionally, some releases sold in 1987 featured these silver labels but were likely old stock distributed in new sleeves.

Slayer is a legendary thrash metal band that was formed in 1981 by Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman, Dave Lombardo, and Tom Araya. Hailing from Huntington Park, California, USA, the group's name is an acronym for "Satan Laughs As you Eternally Rot." Their debut album featured this acronym on its vinyl runout and it was also mentioned in the lyrics of their song "Live Undead." With their intense sound and powerful lyrics, Slayer quickly became known as one of the pioneers of thrash metal.

Throughout their career, Slayer released numerous albums that showcased their raw talent and dark themes. Their music resonated with fans around the world who were drawn to their aggressive style and thought-provoking lyrics. In January 2018, the band announced that they would be embarking on a final tour before officially disbanding in November 2019.

Despite their end as a band, Slayer's impact on the metal genre continues to be felt today. They have left behind a legacy of influential music that will forever be remembered by fans and fellow musicians alike. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the world of thrash metal, exploring Slayer's discography is an essential journey for any lover of heavy music.
