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.

Boasting the awesome "Chemical Warfare," a regular staple of Slayer's live shows, the Haunting the Chapel EP was a more crucial stepping stone in the legendary L.A. band's career development than many give it credit for. Issued in between the band's very promising debut and the following year's more sonically ripened Hell Awaits, Haunting the Chapel offers important clues about this transition period, which saw Slayer's rock-based song structures give way to the non-linear, genre-defining style thereafter regarded as thrash metal's signature sound. Among the uniformly solid cuts here, the enduring fan favorite "Captor of Sin" is another highlight, making this a well-recommended release for committed Slayer fans.
