3rd album from 1986 by this legendary American Thrash Metal band, universally regarded as one of the most influential and important releases in the history of extreme Metal. Produced by Rick Rubin, it represented a massive leap forward in intensity, speed and brutality, setting new standards that would profoundly influence the development of Death Metal, Black Metal and the more aggressive side of Thrash Metal.
Its sound is a relentless assault of controlled violence, combining frantic riffing, devastating drumming, chaotic solos and Tom Araya's unmistakable vocal aggression. Compact, merciless and completely free of filler, the album contains some of the most iconic songs ever recorded by the band and remains essential listening for any fan of extreme Metal.
Recommended for fans of: DARK ANGEL, KREATOR, DESTRUCTION and SADUS.
