SLAYER Monsters Of Rock 1994 Clear Vinyl 2LP

Donington, 1994. Slayer on a festival stage in broad British daylight, playing to a field of people who absolutely did not expect to feel this afraid at an outdoor event.

This live recording captures one of thrash metal's most confrontational bands doing what they did better than anyone, making a massive crowd feel like the walls were closing in. The Monsters of Rock festival was largely a mainstream hard rock event, which makes Slayer's appearance on the bill all the more unhinged in retrospect. This 2021 pressing on clear vinyl is a document of that disconnect, the band completely indifferent to context, just locked in and brutal for the full set. If you've ever wondered what it sounded like when Slayer played to people who came for Aerosmith, here's your answer.

Double LP on clear vinyl. 2021 pressing. Live compilation from the 1994 Monsters of Rock festival.
