We have the ║ │ │║ technology. Faster, meaner, more riffs than ever ║ │ │║ before. Complete and pure thrash metal! After ║ │ │║ their wicked NWOBHM-inspired debut album "Show ║ │ │║ No Mercy", Slayer really kicked it into high ║ │ │║ gear with this bloodcurdling EP. "Haunting The ║ │ │║ Chapel" is a 3-song masterpiece that truly bent ║ │ │║ thrash metal into what we know it has today; ║ │ │║ it's THAT important. "Haunting The Chapel" is ║ │ │║ oft overlooked by a number of fans for merley ║ │ │║ being a 3-song EP, but that would be a major ║ │ │║ mistake. Anyone looking for how true thrash ║ │ │║ really got going should look here. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The band's abilities really amped up after their ║ │ │║ already pretty solid performances on the debut. ║ │ │║ Tom Araya sounds really, really mean here, ║ │ │║ shouting, spitting and growling his way through ║ │ │║ lyrics of hell, war and evil. His bass is ║ │ │║ probably good, but as is often the deal with ║ │ │║ Slayer, the bass likes to take a fucking ║ │ │║ vacation while everyone else works their asses ║ │ │║ off. Like Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman for ║ │ │║ example. Their guitars rule, soloing and slicing ║ │ │║ up a storm of riffs, though often at times it ║ │ │║ basically works as this: "Let's wank the rhythm ║ │ │║ guitar for a while, then let the lead squeal for ║ │ │║ 40 seconds." At the least the guitars sound ║ │ │║ truly wicked, the lead a bigger, more deranged ║ │ │║ take on the lead from the last album, while the ║ │ │║ rhythm sounds like a fucking weed-wacker ║ │ │║ possessed by a deadite. Then we gave the all- ║ │ │║ consuming drumming of Dave Lombardo. Frankly ║ │ │║ though, I liked his work better on "Show No ║ │ │║ Mercy", even if his work on both were pretty ║ │ │║ similar. Much like King and Hanneman he'd ║ │ │║ improve nicely on the next album. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Let's get the weaker songs out of the way first. ║ │ │║ Well, most versions of "Haunting The Chapel" ║ │ │║ you'll get anymore will come with the bonus ║ │ │║ track "Aggressive Perfector", originally from ║ │ │║ the "Metal Massacre 3" compilation. It's an okay ║ │ │║ song, not terrible but nothing special. It's ║ │ │║ basically your typical speed metal number with a ║ │ │║ few cool riffs and some nice Araya shrieking. ║ │ │║ The title track is also just okay, though the ║ │ │║ intro riffage is really great and the lead in ║ │ │║ the solo is pretty great too. But the other two ║ │ │║ songs...oh fuck me sideways this is BRUTAL! ║ │ │║ "Chemical Warfare" has my vote as Slayer's best ║ │ │║ song. That's right, forget your "Angel of ║ │ │║ Death", your "War Ensemble", your "Hell Awaits"; ║ │ │║ it's all about "Multi-death from chemicals!" The ║ │ │║ intricate, massive solo is evil perfection, ║ │ │║ Araya's vocals melt faces and the amount of ║ │ │║ riffs is just crushing. Listen or DIE!!! Then we ║ │ │║ have the half as long "Captor of Sin". It's not ║ │ │║ as technical or intricate as "Chemical Warfare", ║ │ │║ but almost as awesome. This song is just pure ║ │ │║ chaos, a speedy, mean little riff-fest with ║ │ │║ killer drums and wild guitars. Behold, captor of ║ │ │║ sin! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Overall, this is a damn fine little set of songs ║ │ │║ to have. Slayer has gotten stronger here, and ║ │ │║ while two songs are okay, the other two are ║ │ │║ fucking massively awesome! Don't forget ║ │ │║ "Haunting The Chapel"; it hasn't forgotten you, ║ │ │║ or where you live... ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Chemical Warfare [06:04] │ │ 02 - Captor Of Sin [03:32] │ │ 03 - Haunting The Chapel [03:58] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [13:34 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
