Slayer - Haunting the Chapel

The next step.

What was the world expecting when Slayer released this ep?
If you were expecting greatness, then that's what you got.
The ep took the basic elements from Show No Mercy and refined them.
The songs drip with venom,ferocity,hate.
How can you not like Slayer for that?
Slayer has made their mark. This ep continues the dynasty. May 16, 2008

Diabolical Follow Up to Show No Mercy

A great short EP follow-up to Show No Mercy with great songs like 'Chemical Warfare.' You either love Slayer or hate them: there's no in between. Whatever people might say of them, Slayer has always been consistant in style and quality and if you like what's on this album you'll probably like everything else they've recorded except perhaps for 'Undisputed Attitude' which is mostly punk cover songs. Satanic thrash at its best. Enjoy! April 8, 2008

RAW METAL AT ITS BEST!!

THIS album has always been one of my favorite cause I love the guitar playing on it.
Kerry & Jeff may not be a Eddie or Steve Vai, but for the sound that SLAYER makes they are awesome.
Tom Araya's Voice pierces threw each song to give SLAYER a unique sound.
Dave Lombardo pounds it out like he is on the war path.
SLAYER is no doubt one best metal bands in the industry.
Chemical Warfare 10/10
Captor of Sin 10/10
Haunting the Chapal 9/10
Aggressive Perfector 8/10
I rate this CD as a whole a 9 from 1to10!! February 1, 2008

Must-have EP for Slayer fans

In 1984, just as Hair Metal finally overtook the New Wave of British Heavy Metal as the most popular form of Metal music in the U.S., Slayer finally decided to put their NWOBHM roots to rest and put out a three-song EP demonstrating the band that they finally became: an extreme thrash metal band. It was with this EP that they finally found their own identity as a band and found fans that didn't just see them to hold off seeing the next big British metal band come through.

This EP is very short, but sweet. Both Chemical Warfare and Captor of Sin are still live staples and amazing thrash material in their own right, and Haunting the Chapel is among Slayer's most underrated tunes, even though it doesn't hold up as well as the previous two tracks. The extra song on here, Aggressive Perfector (taken from Metal Massacre Vol.3) is Slayer's very first song, and is reason alone to grab this EP (even though it sounds like it's ripping off Metallica's Hit The Lights).

This EP is kind of hard to find; you may have to look in a second hand CD-shop or buy it online. Nevertheless, this is highly recommended for all Slayer fans! July 23, 2006
