Recent Purchases

Just wanted to post these 2 new purchases I just made and am pretty amped on them. Actually really amped. Yesterday just bought an 84' pressing of Slayer's Haunting the Chapel. An EP released with three songs on it, Chemical Warfare, Captor of Sin and Haunting the Chapel. Even though it was just three songs, this album, which was released after their debut album, Show No Mercy, was considered a huge stepping stone to their iconic sound today. The graphics of this album are so amazingly dark, yet so simple as compared to other album artwork such as Hell Awaits and South of Heaven. Funny note about the recording of this album is that sound engineer Bill Motoyer who was a Christian, (who also was there for Show No Mercy and no problem with that album) told another guy on the sound board that he thougt he was going to go to hell after hearing the first lines out of Tom Arayas mouth during the song Haunting the Chapel.

All and all very excited to have this piece listened to and then up on my wall.

I got this puppy about a couple weeks ago and is pretty much my favorite shirt to wear at the moment. It is an original from 1987 (with the copyright and all on the bottom right) and is paper thin. On the back is the listing of the songs from the album. Straight to the point, the listing of some of Metallica's greatest songs from one of the greatest albums, Master of Puppets.
