Slayer - South of Heaven (1988)


Slayer was an American thrash metal band from Huntington Park, California. The band was formed in 1981 by guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, drummer Dave Lombardo, and bassist and vocalist Tom Araya.
They started out playing covers of songs by bands such as Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Venom at parties and clubs in Southern California. The band's early image relied heavily on Satanic themes that featured pentagrams, make-up, spikes, and inverted crosses.

In 1983, Slayer was invited to open for the band Bitch at the Woodstock Club in Anaheim, California to perform eight songs, six of which were covers. The band was spotted by Brian Slagel, a former music journalist who had recently founded Metal Blade Records. Impressed with Slayer, he met with the band backstage and asked them to record an original song for his upcoming Metal Massacre III compilation album. The band agreed and their song "Aggressive Perfector" created an underground buzz upon its release in mid 1983, which led offering the band a recording contract with Metal Blade. 

The band had to self-finance its debut album. Combining the savings of Araya, who was employed as a respiratory therapist, and money borrowed from King's father, the band entered the studio in November 1983. The album was rushed into release, stocking shelves three weeks after tracks were completed. Show No Mercy, released in December 1983 by Metal Blade Records, generated underground popularity for the band. The group began a club tour of California to promote the album. The tour gave the band additional popularity and sales of Show No Mercy eventually reached more than 20,000 in the US and another 20,000 worldwide.

 South of Heaven was released in July 1988,  received mixed responses from both fans and critics, although it was Slayer's most commercially successful release at the time, debuting at number 57 on the Billboard 200, and their second album to receive gold certification in the United States. Press response to the album was mixed, with AllMusic citing the album as "disturbing and powerful", and Kim Nelly of Rolling Stone calling it "genuinely offensive satanic drivel". King said "that album was my most lackluster performance", although Araya called it a "late bloomer" which eventually grew on people. Slayer toured from August 1988 to January 1989 to promote South of Heaven, supporting Judas Priest in the US on their Ram It Down tour, and touring Europe with Nuclear Assault and the US with Motörhead and Overkill.

Rotten Minds - Necrogallery (2001)

 

 Rotten Minds was born at the end of 1991 in Mostoles (Madrid), with Alberto bass and voice, Joe guitar and Juan drums, after ending a Rock band. In December 1993 they recorded the first Demo with 5 songs in a Thrash wave with some Death influences. In June 1994 they recorded a live show at “Revolver” (Madrid), in which an increasingly brutal influence began to be appreciated.

In 1995 “If you believe in my suffering… you believe in my death” appears, a demo with 4 songs + Intro; which is recorded and edited by the band. In this Demo the musical trajectory that the group is going to take is a little clearer. Shortly after, Jesús joins in, bringing a second guitar and more strength to the new songs. In May 1997, Alberto leaves the group and Juan (Rogus) enters as vocalist in his place. In June of that same year, they recorded a promo with two new songs + an Intro called “Holocaust”. Shortly they complete the training with José, as a new bass player.

After several concerts in Spain, in September 98, Jesús (guitar) and José (bass) left the group. Months later, the rest recorded a new demo with 4 songs, "Feast in the Morgue'99".

After a season of indecision, they prepare new songs for what will be the full-length "Necrogallery", which comes out edited by Hecatombe Récords and is recorded on Virtual Recording System in 2001. They complete the line-up at the beginning of 2002 with José (former bassist) but this time on guitar and Juan Manuel on bass. This season they play at various festivals with different bands, until laziness and apathy take over the group for more than two years. During this time Jou takes advantage of it, with several musical projects in which Migraine stands out, as does José with his groups Grip Y Hate. In 2003 a couple of concerts are held and the band disappears, without a clear dissolution.
