Our Take

SLAYER's "Have A Good New Year" live album from their infamous New Year's Eve show at Ruthies Inn in Berkeley, CA in 1984 is a relentless onslaught of thrash metal mayhem. This record captures the band at the peak of their powers, delivering a blistering set that will leave you headbanging until the break of dawn.

From the moment the opening riff of "Hell Awaits" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The energy is electrifying, the guitars are razor-sharp, and the drumming is thunderous. Frontman Tom Araya's trademark growls are as fierce as ever, sending shivers down your spine.

Tracks like "Chemical Warfare" and "Black Magic" showcase SLAYER's mastery of their craft, with intricate guitar solos and bone-crushing breakdowns that will have you moshing in your living room. But it's the relentless speed and aggression of songs like "Show No Mercy" and "Die by the Sword" that really set this album on fire.

The sound quality of this live recording is top-notch, capturing the raw intensity of SLAYER's live performance with crystal clear clarity. It's as if you're right there in the pit, feeling the heat of the crowd and the sweat dripping from the band's faces.

Overall, "Have A Good New Year" is a must-have for any SLAYER fan or thrash metal enthusiast. It's a live album that perfectly encapsulates the band's ferocious energy and unparalleled musicianship. So throw up the horns, crank up the volume, and let SLAYER soundtrack your next headbanging session. Horns up!

About the artist

Slayer

Slayer is the band that your parents warned you about. Hailing from California, these thrash metal pioneers have been melting faces and rattling ear drums since 1981. With a sound that's as brutal as it is uncompromising, Slayer has solidified their status as metal legends over the past four decades. Led by the iconic vocals of Tom Araya and the blistering guitar work of Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman (RIP), Slayer's music is a sonic assault on the senses. Their lyrics delve into dark and controversial themes, with tracks like "Angel of Death" and "Raining Blood" pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable in mainstream music. But don't let their menacing image fool you - Slayer are also a group of jokesters offstage. Known for their irreverent sense of humor and love of pranks, the band members bring a light-hearted energy to their performances that sets them apart from their more serious metal counterparts. Despite lineup changes and personal struggles, Slayer have remained a force to be reckoned with in the metal scene. Their live shows are legendary for their intensity and energy, with mosh pits erupting as soon as the first chords are struck. So whether you're a die-hard metalhead or just looking to expand your musical horizons, Slayer is a band that demands your attention. Strap in, turn up the volume, and prepare to be blown away by the sheer power of Slayer.
