SLAYER in the "Metal Blade" era, who was hiding underground and exuding the body odor of the underground. The best master of the fierce soundboard that imprints the live performance that is choking on the demonic fighting spirit on the brain is here. The "June 20, 1985 Oberhausen performance" is permanently preserved in this work. It is a stereo soundboard recording. 1985 was the "year of HELL AWAITS" and also the "last year of the indie era". First of all, let's take a bird's-eye view of the activities at that time, when they were just about to break through the wall to the majors, and check the position of this work. 1985 January 3rd - February 9th: North America #1 (7 shows) {HELL AWAITS released in March} March 15th - April 23rd: North America #2 (19 shows) ←※THE ULTIMATE REVENGE May 26th - June 24th: Europe (20 shows) ←★Here★ August 17th - September 29th: North America #3 (12 shows) October 24th: Winnipeg show November 15th + 16th: Brooklyn (2 shows) 1986 February 1st - March 10th: North America #4 (3 shows) August 12th: New York show {REIGN IN BLOOD released on October 7th} October 17th - December 7th: North America #5 (30 shows) This was the turning point for SLAYER in 1985/1986. Until then, they had only performed in North America, but their first time crossing the sun was on the "European" tour in the spring of 1985. The Oberhausen performance of this work was the 17th concert of such a historic tour (by the way, the opening at this time was DESTRUCTION, who had just released "INFERNAL OVERKILL". What a luxury!). This work recorded at such a show is a direct-connected sound board with "super". Its existence has been known for some time, but this work is the best master brought by its own route (the same route as IRON MAIDEN's shock work "MUNICH 1983 SOUNDBOARD (Zodiac 703)", which is a huge hit today). There are various types of sound boards, but this work is a completely leaked system directly connected to the mix table. It is the best master brought by overseas researchers, and the core is extremely thick like a rough rope, and the details are painfully fine like the fluff of a rough rope. The mix, which I never paid any attention to playing on a home audio system, is unashamed, and the panning that goes crazy with the ridiculous stereo width stirs up my brain. Even more intense is Dave Lombardo's superhuman drums. At the time, a magazine published a suicidal wish (?) that "I want to stick my head into Dave's bass drum," and when you listen to this album with headphones, it feels exactly like that. Double bass hits surge from both sides, and tom rolls and hi-hats avalanche in. SLAYER's official live albums "LIVE UNDEAD" and "DECADE OF AGGRESSION" are strangely vivid, but this album is even more other-dimensional. What is poured into your brain with such an other-dimensional soundboard is a special stage that can be called the "summary of the indie era." There are plenty of songs that you can't hear on "LIVE UNDEAD" and "DECADE OF AGGRESSION," so let's organize them by comparing them. Hell Awaits (5 songs) Hell Awaits / Crypts Of Eternity (★★) / Hardening Of The Arteries (★) / At Dawn They Sleep / Kill Again (★) Others (10 songs) Show No Mercy: The Final Command (★★) / Black Magic / Die By The Sword / Fight 'Til Death (★) / The Antichrist / Show No Mercy Haunting The Chapel: Aggressive Perfector / Captor Of Sin / Haunting The Chapel (★) / Chemical Warfare *Note: The "★" mark indicates songs that were not heard on either the official "LIVE UNDEAD" or "DECADE OF AGGRESSION". In particular, the "★★" mark indicates limited songs that have not been played since the band moved to a major label. It's just amazing. It's an amazing live album. SLAYER continued to be radical even after moving to a major label, but it was not until the "Metal Blade" era that they wore the body odor of their roots, NWOBHM. What is engraved in this work is a miraculous season that combines the band potential that produced "REIGN IN BLOOD" and the body odor of the underground. A different dimension soundboard that imprints the live performance in your brain with a transcendent sound. Stereo soundboard recording of the "June 20, 1985 Oberhausen performance". The best master brought by a unique route (the same route as IRON MAIDEN's shock work "MUNICH 1983 SOUNDBOARD (Zodiac 703)"), a direct outflow system connected to the mix desk. The core is as thick as a rough rope, and the details are painfully fine like the fluff of a rough rope. The panning that flies around with an incredible stereo width stirs up your brain. This is the ideal thrash metal album that will bring you the ultimate indie era with the band potential of "REIGN IN BLOOD". UPGRADE!!!! It's a great soundboard (especially the drums).
