"Black Serenade" Album Description:

For die-hard Slayer fans, the allure of rare and unreleased tracks is undeniable. "Black Serenade," a 2011 unofficial release pressed on red transparent vinyl, offers a glimpse into the thrash metal band's collection of bonus tracks and B-sides.

It's important to note that "Black Serenade" is not an official Slayer album. Released in Germany, it compiles various bonus tracks and B-sides, likely sourced from singles and EPs. While the vinyl itself might be a collector's item for its red transparent aesthetic, the musical content might be familiar to fans who already own Slayer's extensive discography.

For the Collectors

The red transparent vinyl undoubtedly makes "Black Serenade" a visually striking addition to any Slayer collection. However, for those focused on completing the band's official discography, it might be redundant.
