Slaughter in the Vatican appreciation thread

Awesome album! The album doesn't seem to get a lot of love. So I'll give the album a thread where it can get the appreciation it deserves.

The title track is one of the most awesome songs ever recorded.

I always see this one combined with The Law used at a local record store but I've never gone for it. Probably would like to eventually

You should definitely get it!

Oh dear. I know where this thread is going...

Fastest thrash drumming ever?

Great album! I love the album cover too

For some reason the second album never caught me like this one did.

Love it!! I was lucky enough to see them play live many times back in the day. I can confirm that Mr Anselmo was present quite a few times, as was Dime at least once. Those shows would get crazy in a hurry, some of the most violent pits I've ever seen.

I know very little about this album and the band. I'd love to check them out sooner or later.

I'm more partial to their follow-up The Law, because I've had that one longer, but this one is pretty good too.

Total Pantera rip-offs though.

lol, the more things change the more they stay the same. The Metallica thread is nice and active, so might as well get an Exhorder/Pantera thread going.

Seriously though, I love Slaughter In the Vatican!

I just like to poke that hornet's nest whenever the name Exhorder comes up. It's fun to see folks get their panties in a twist over it.

good album

This and The Law are both great albums.

So this is the dude singing for Trouble now?

They did what they did quite good.......a good lil piece of something to put ya in a mood

it could be good. Floodgate had that C.O.C./Down thing going. Kyle pulled it off fairly well.

I have the Floodgate album too. MC hit it right on the head.

I had the Floodgate album. Kyle can definitely sing in the doom/stoner style.

Good Album but I prefer The Law more.

I also prefer The Law album, but I like the energy a lot on this one. I think Dark Angel may have inspired them.

Good album. Insane drumming!

Never owned an actual copy of this, though I've heard it many times. Good stuff.

I'm only bringing this to your attention not because I'm some sort of a search Nazi, but it could be relevant to this topic:

I'm with those who like The Law better. In fact I like the that record A LOT better than Slaughter. While Slaughter is a good record I tend to think it is a bit over-rated.
