Notes

European, Phonogram Ltd. (London) - licensed release.

Issued with a double-sided printed inner sleeve with lyrics and band photo.

Some copies are issued with a "Slayer Seasons In The Abyss" sticker on front cover.

℗ 1990 Def American Recordings, Inc.
© 1990 Def American Recordings, Inc.

On the inner sleeve it says "Made in U.S.A." but because of the runouts we can say in confidence the record was made in the Netherlands.

Runouts are machine-stamped.

        When it came out, I rushed to the record store - I bought it, played it - and was disappointed how slow they played.

        The album is a milestone, but it took me a while to realize. Still not my favourite Slayer-album, but one of their best.

                    I'm not a huge metal fan, but this easily gets in my top ten metal albums. Great gloomy & menacing vibes, duelling guitar solos in strikingly different styles & practically a sing-a-long end-to-end. "Reign In Blood" is the more definitive Slayer album & "Angel of Death" untoppable for a single track, but this was an artistic triumph.
