Slayer – South of Heaven (1988)
Prepare to descend into the abyss with South of Heaven, Slayer’s earth-shaking fourth studio album, now available in all its analog glory on vinyl. Originally released in 1988, this LP marked a chilling shift in Slayer’s sonic assault, slowing the breakneck speed of Reign in Blood in favor of ominous, haunting melodies—without losing an ounce of brutality.
Produced by Rick Rubin, South of Heaven delivers classics like the bone-chilling title track, the relentless Mandatory Suicide, and the menacing Silent Scream. Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King’s riffs cut like a buzzsaw, while Tom Araya’s vocals carry an eerie, foreboding weight. And let’s not forget Dave Lombardo’s thunderous drumming, setting the pulse for a record that remains a cornerstone of thrash metal.
Pressed on high-quality vinyl, this edition offers the ultimate listening experience for collectors and die-hard fans alike. Drop the needle, turn up the volume, and witness one of Slayer’s most atmospheric and punishing records the way it was meant to be heard.
For fans of: Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and anything that rattles your skull.
Highlights:
🔥 South of Heaven – A slow, sinister anthem that proves speed isn’t the only path to devastation.
🔥 Mandatory Suicide – A haunting anti-war masterpiece with one of Slayer’s most iconic riffs.
🔥 Ghosts of War – A blistering thrash assault that bridges the gap between their early speed and later groove.
If you’re a true metalhead, this belongs in your collection. There is no salvation—only South of Heaven.
