RAINFOREST RECORDS
1983 was the year of the Slayers! One that would earn the key to the world, one from the UK that would be swallowed by the planet after an ep on Cavalier Records, and this quintet from San Antonio, Texas. Nationalities of traditional, power, light thrash, and euro-sound act in a salad bowl effect in these five tracks, all fighting to be heard and not really melting into one another. Everything about this EP rules except for the production. Production is very weak, it has a lot of static, but everything else i pretty good.
S.A. Slayer was originally known just as Slayer, but since there was another Slayer (US) at that time and they had already put out an album, they threatened the San Antonio Slayer with a lawsuit, and so they had to put the S.A. before their name. The band has been long disbanded, and the members have scattered to many different bands (Steve Cooper joined Juggernaut, Ron Jarzombek is in Watchtower and Spastic Ink, Don Van Stavern was in the bands Riot and Pitbull Daycare, and drummer Dave McClain had been in both Machine Head (US) and Sacred Reich.
This MLP was re-released, unofficially, together with "Go For The Throat" on cd by Unisound Records, on February 23, 2004. Reissued officially by the band in 2007.
