Description
Haunting The Chapel is one of the most important releases in extreme metal history. Originally released in 1984, this legendary EP bridged the gap between Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits, showcasing Slayer’s evolution into a faster, darker, and more aggressive force. Many fans consider these four tracks to be the blueprint for the band’s future sound and a key influence on the development of thrash and death metal.
The 2021 reissue brings this classic EP back to vinyl, preserving the raw energy and ferocity that made it a cult favourite. From the iconic opener “Chemical Warfare” to the title track “Haunting The Chapel” and the relentless “Aggressive Perfector,” every song is a masterclass in early Slayer aggression.
Short, savage, and absolutely essential.
