Slayer South of Heaven

Release info:

1988's SOUTH OF HEAVEN surprised many fans upon it's release because it contained several mid-paced, dirge-like compositions that spotlighted metal's crunch over punk's reckless energy. Over the coming decades, it has gone on to become a genre-defining classic, one which continues to inspire and torment in equal measure.

Tom Araya's lyrics address, as ever,  controversial subjects, while another piece of gruesome artwork graced the album's cover, following their tradition of 100% brutality, encompassing music, artwork and merchandise. Slayer's ardent following embraced the album, eventually propelling SOUTH OF HEAVEN to gold-certification in the U.S.
