Slayer - "Hell Awaits" Standard Weight Red Marble Vinyl label_Swan Song bringing to her contemporary soundWith their second album, co produced by Metal Blade's headbanging head honcho Brian Slagel, satanic thrashers Slayer upped the ante from their debut in every way. More graphic album art, breakneck tempos, gruesome lyrics, and proper production gave the band a punchier sound while retaining their native aggression. Whereas their debut sounded like a band flirting with the dark side, Hell Awaits is where the band begins to sound truly sinister and evil.
