'It's the record where Slayer became Slayer'. That's what Kerry King says about 'Hell Awaits'. And he knows of what he speaks. As the band's guitarist, co-songwriter and co-lyricist, he was in the trenches with vocalist/bassist, Tom Araya, guitarist, Jeff Hanneman (R.I.P.) and drummer, Dave Lombardo, creating what has become one of heavy metal's greatest albums. Now celebrating its 40th anniversary, 'Hell Awaits' is the second studio album by American thrash metal masters, Slayer. The crucial album was initially released on April 8th 1985, by Metal Blade Records.
