Description
🎸 Slayer – Blood Stains Across Europe 1985
Limited Edition Picture DiscÂ
Label: Soldiers of Metal Records, London
Catalogue: BLOOD1985
Format: 12" Picture Disc (Live Release)
Edition: Limited to 300 copiesÂ
A scarce and highly sought‑after Slayer picture disc capturing the band during their ferocious 1985 European dates—right at the dawn of their Hell Awaits era. The front features a striking live shot of Kerry King in full chains-and-studs stage gear, framed by the classic Slayer logo and a bold blood‑drip title design.
Pressed in a strictly limited run of 300 hand‑numbered copies, this disc is prized among collectors for its raw soundboard‑style recordings and early‑tour historical value. The back cover showcases a gritty band photo with graffiti‑covered lockers, matching the underground tape‑trader aesthetic of the era.
This release compiles two early European performances—Belgium and Nuremberg—making it a snapshot of Slayer before Reign in Blood catapulted them into metal history. A strong piece for collectors of early live material, picture discs, and rare Slayer memorabilia.
