Description

!!!!!!!Please read before purchasing this item!!!!!!!!


This is a rare, collectible, original LP that is highly priced and hard to find because the original record label is shut down and no longer manufacturing original run copies. This is the original notably because the jacket has a reddish tint to it compared to other re-releases which are usually green tinted. If you have questions please ask especially if you intend to purchase this item because I do not have another copy.

Reign in Blood is the third studio album by American thrash metal band Slayer, released on October 7, 1986, by Def Jam Recordings. The album was the band's first collaboration with producer Rick Rubin, whose input helped the band's sound evolve. The release date of the album was delayed because of concerns regarding the lyrical subject matter of the opening track "Angel of Death", which refers to Josef Mengele and describes acts such as human experimentation that he committed at the Auschwitz concentration camp. The band's members stated that they did not condone Nazism and were merely interested in the subject. Reign in Blood was well received by both critics and fans, and was responsible for bringing Slayer to the attention of a mainstream metal audience. Today, it is often mentioned among the greatest heavy metal records ever. In their 2017 listing of the 100 Greatest Metal albums of all time, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Reign in Blood at #6. Alongside Anthrax's Among the Living, Megadeth's Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?, and Metallica's Master of Puppets, Reign in Blood helped define the sound of the emerging US thrash metal scene in the mid-1980s, and has remained influential since. The album was Slayer's first to enter the US Billboard 200, peaking at number 94, and was certified Gold on November 20, 1992. In 2013, NME ranked it at number 287 in its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.


This is the original 1986 Def Jam Recordings, before the subsequent re-releases on American Recordings. This features the original Def Jam Recordings logo present in the the background. There is obvious wear on the jacket/cover pictured in photos. There may be some things I might’ve missed. If you have any questions please ask.
