Seasons in the Abyss

Slayer
Released 1990Metal
ClassicPicked by a lifelong record collector

A balanced peak of speed and atmosphere. Ferocious and beloved. A genre high point. Released in 1990, it's one of Slayer's later high points.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
