CBS, who distributed Def Jam albums, had refused to handle Reign In Blood despite the fact that it was already paid for. Their issues were down to two things: the cover and the song "Angel Of Death" (they demanded that Slayer remove the song).
Columbia refused to release it because of "Angel of Death" and Geffen released it but without their logo present.
It is considered one of the most influential thrash metal albums of all time, and was certified gold (500,000+ sales) by the RIAA on November 20, 1992 (six years after its release).
It reached #94 on the Billboard 200 and produced four singles: "Raining Blood", "Angel Of Death", "Necrophobic" and "Criminally Insane".
“There was constant competition between all of those bands,” says Brian Slagel, countering Kerry’s assertion. “Who was the fastest band? They took that very seriously, and that’s one thing that led to the speed of Reign In Blood.”
“Kerry and Jeff said that they didn’t want to do a slow record - they wanted to do something fast. We were young. We were hungry. And we wanted to be faster than everybody else.”
Araya about "Angel Of Death": "That scream took two takes..."
The producer (Rick) told them that they didn’t need any reverb on the guitars or vocals. The result was a sound that was as dry as a bone and heavy as granite; it instantly set Slayer apart from the other kids on the thrash metal block. “It’s very close to being a live album, very well recorded in a studio. Slayer didn’t sound like anyone else, that’s why the album sounds different than other metal albums. They really were creating their own genre.”
Record is M-.
Cover is VG++\M-, just some very light wear + lower right corner lightly bumped.
Inner Sleeve is VG++\M-.
Spine and seams are great.
My grading scale is: M, M-, VG++, VG+, VG, G
I ship in strong cardboard mailers with two pads and record accurately separated from cover to
prevent splits during shipment.
Read accurately below for shipping and payment infos before sending payment!!!!
If in doubt ask for an invoice especially for multiple items purchases.
As an increasing number of ebayers doesn't leave feedbacks, my Feedback Will Be Left AFTER Yours Is Left.
Good luck!!!
