Slayer
Luttenberg
'Elkerlyck', Holland, June 1985
For those who cannot
attend or those who need convincing about attending the Slayer concert
on the i$land on October 13, 2006 (it's also a Friday!), here's an early
soundboard show from the first European Slayer tour. As a fan commented
on the internet: "A truly almost-sounding-like-an-official-live CD.
Almost the entire 'Show No Mercy' and 'Hell Awaits' CDs are played. Bassist
Tom (Araya) is great with his in-between-song comments."
While they need no introduction, Slayer's Hell Awaits (1985) remains a
touchstone for speed metal; and when producer Rick Rubin came on board
to produce their next album, Reign In Blood (1986), Slayer defined the
genre.
The group was established by lead guitarist Kerry King in Huntington Park,
CA in 1982. Prior to the beginning of Slayer, King was playing in another
band with Tom Araya (vocals, bass) who King kept in mind on his list of
players for the new band. During that time however, Araya had his hands
full by working in a hospital as a respiratory therapist. However, the
first member to join the band was Jeff Hanneman (lead guitars) who happened
to be living close to King. King had heard Hanneman playing guitar and
asked him to join his new band. Soon thereafter Dave Lombardo (drums)
crossed the path with King and Hanneman while delivering pizza in the
neighbourhood and was given the opportunity to play drums. To make the
line-up complete, King called Araya to join the band as the lead singer
and bass player which he then agreed. With the line up complete, the guys
began thinking what to name the newly established band. According to fan
website, slayersaves.com, after thinking up the name Dragonslayer, they
finally agreed to name the band Slayer.
Slayer started out by playing covers of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest in
different high schools and local clubs but soon afterwards they started
to write their own stuff. While one day playing in a local club, "Woodstock",
they caught the attention of Brian Slagel, the owner of Metal Blade Records.
After the show Slagel gave them the opportunity to be on the compilation
album called Metal Massacre III. At the same time, they also asked a favor
that Slagel would help them with their first record. And the rest, as
they say, is history. Other key Slayer albums include South Of Heaven
(1988) and Seasons In The Abyss (1990).
