Formed in 1981, SLAYER assaulted the world with a new hybrid of metal and punk – heavier, faster, and darker than the rest – and set a new standard, defining not only a genre, but an attitude. Throughout SLAYER's history, the band never faltered in unleashing their extreme and focused aural assault, and repudiating temptations, SLAYER always chose to remain crushing and brutal, steadfastly refusing to cater to the mainstream.

SLAYER's first live album, 'Live Undead', was recorded in front of a small audience at Tiki Recording Studios in Glen Cove, New York. The seven-song release captures the band in their rawest form, already a masterful live unit, bringing unbridled energy and pure terror to the masses.
