4th album from 1988 by the American SLAYER, one of the most influential bands in the history of Thrash Metal. “South of Heaven” marked a strategic shift from the overwhelming intensity of its predecessor, embracing slower tempos, darker atmospheres and greater compositional depth without sacrificing the band's trademark aggression.
With impeccable production and masterful execution, the album reveals a more mature and sinister side of SLAYER, further demonstrating its ability to create tension, heaviness and darkness as effectively as speed and brutality. Widely regarded as one of the most important releases in the band's catalogue, it remains an essential reference in classic Thrash Metal.
Recommended for fans of KREATOR, DARK ANGEL, DESTRUCTION and EXODUS.
