SLAYER – Haunting The Chapel EP
(2021 Reissue)

CD

Haunting the Chapel is an extended play released by American thrash metal band Slayer in 1984 through Metal Blade and Enigma Records. Slayer’s debut album Show No Mercy became Metal Blade’s highest-selling, leading to producer Brian Slagel wanting to release an EP.

Although originally featuring three songs, the record evidences a marked evolution from the style of their previous album, Show No Mercy, and is considered the first demonstration of the band’s “classic” style displayed on later albums and is often described as a “stepping stone”. The songs “Captor of Sin” and “Chemical Warfare” were regularly featured on the band’s live set list. “Chemical Warfare” appears in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.
