SLAYER “South Of Heaven” /LP/

The fourth European re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
It was recorded in 1987 and released in 1988 on Def Jam Records (later re-released by Def American/American Recordings). The album has been marked as a deliberate deviation from the previous album with slower songs, more melodic vocals and clean sounding.
The album received conflicting opinions from fans and critics. However, it became the most commercially successful album of Slayer at that time, debuting at the 57 position in Billboard 200 Chart and becoming their second Gold album.
