SLAYER Haunting The Chapel (1984) LP Vinyl

Three songs. Eighteen minutes. Haunting the Chapel is the EP that Slayer dropped in 1984 like a grenade into a scene that thought it had already seen everything. It hadn't.

Recorded between Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits, this short run of material, Chemical Warfare, Captor of Sin, and the title track, is where the band's songwriting started locking into something genuinely unhinged. Chemical Warfare in particular became a live staple for good reason; it's one of the great pure thrash riffs in the genre's history. On 12-inch black vinyl at 45rpm it hits the way it's supposed to, loud, fast, and completely indifferent to your wellbeing. The re-release includes the original artwork and a large poster, so you're getting the full package for your wall and your turntable. For anyone building out a serious alternative or dark aesthetic vinyl collection, this is non-negotiable shelf real estate.

Format: 12-inch black vinyl, 45rpm. Includes original artwork and large poster. Re-release 2021. Origin: USA. Genre: Thrash Metal.
