Had the new Aorlhac album "Pierres brûlées" on repeat for a while now (as well as "L'esprit des vents").... Great band, maybe up dwwaino 's alley? Does have a Metal noir Quebecois (Forteresse, Monarque etc) vibe to them, imo.
They also covered Dissection.... Not sure I'm into it though.
For me, I rate the Hell Awaits & Haunting the Chapel releases up the top with RIB..Slayer ranked
1. South of Heaven
2. Reign in Blood
3. Show No Mercy
4. Hell Awaits
5. Seasons in the Abyss
6. World Painted Blood
7. Divine Intervention
8. Christ Illusion
9. God Hates Us All
10. Repentless
11. Diabolus in musica
For me, I rate the Hell Awaits & Haunting the Chapel releases up the top with RIB..
Aggressive Perfector's a ripper tooIf Haunting the Chapel was just a part of Hell Awaits it's probably ahead of Show No Mercy. Chemical Warfare is one of their best songs.
I love lists, let me get involved. Worth noting, I was never a Slayer fan back in the day.
Hell Awaits is the 1st album of theirs I bought and I hated it ('Kill Again' is a great track though) - still do. If you will allow me to indulge.....a huge part of the reason I 'hated' the band from day 1 was because at the time there was big article in Cream magazine by this b*tch Sylvie Simmons who absolutely paid out on the mighty Crue, saying they would be forgotten in a few years UNLIKE a band like Slayer who had just put out Hell Awaits etc. And she went into detail comparing the artistic and musical merits of the two bands and so forth. She even said a band like the Yardbirds had more musical credibility in one finger than Motley Crue and something along the lines of "mark my words, no-one will know the name Motley Crue in 2 years". And that was it for me. I've had 35 years to get over it but she can still suck a dick.
So for me:
- Show No Mercy (The Antichrist is a monster)
- Reign in Blood
- South of Heaven/Seasons in the Abyss
- Haunting the Chapel (my mate had this picture disc and he freaking played it to death).
- Repentless (I reckon its harshly judged)
- the rest I don't care for.
Time to revisit Hell Awaits - death metal prototype album.
I can feel the rage, nothing like holding a good grudge just because. Kind of like when a housemate gave his girlfriend my leftover lasagna which she gobbled down like no tomorrow, then complained it was a bit dry. YOU WOT! That was 25 years ago.I love lists, let me get involved. Worth noting, I was never a Slayer fan back in the day.

Funny that Cream put Slayer over Motley Crue though. From memory Cream was for the hard rock/glam crowd. Am I wrong with that?
Possibly - this was the only copy I ever bought from memory. The article was actually comparing Motley Crue to The Yardbirds. Slayer got thrown in for good measure.
Reckon Cream and Hit Parader were for that crowd. Seems the more metal mags in the 80s were English (Metal Hammer, Metal Forces and Kerrang were pretty decent for mainstream press - particularly Metal Hammer and Metal Forces). Metal Hammer released a couple of issues of a magazine called "Thrash" around 89 - 90 which was really good. It was actually more death metal but catered to the extreme crowd. Wasn't around for long. Not sure when the Yanks got Metal Maniacs going but think that was also decent for mainstream press and competed with Terrorizer in the 90s. Great gateway vehicles (together with "thanks lists") before the age of the internet.
