Slayer's "Live in Montreux - 2002" captures their fiery 2002 performance at the Swiss Jazz Festival. This double LP unleashes thrash anthems like "Raining Blood" and "Angel of Death" on hot wax, offering a full live experience with extended jams and crowd energy. A must-have for Slayer fans and vinyl lovers alike.
In 2002, Slayer, one of thrash metal's "Big Four," brought their brutal aural assault to an unlikely venue: the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Recorded on July 7th, that blistering performance was captured for posterity on the aptly titled "SLAYER Live in Montreux - 2002" double LP.
This live album offers a potent snapshot of Slayer at their ferocious peak. The Montreux crowd gets a front-row seat to a band notorious for their intensity, tearing through a setlist packed with fan favorites. Classics like "War Ensemble," "Raining Blood," and "Angel of Death" come alive on vinyl, with Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman's searing riffs translating perfectly to the format.
The double LP format allows for a more comprehensive live experience compared to a single LP. Listeners can expect extended jams and Kerry King's signature wah-wah pedal theatrics spread across four sides. The Montreux crowd's energy is also palpable, adding a layer of rawness to the recording.
