Noisecreep has issued the following report from Amy Sciarretto:
SLAYER's 30th anniversary is coming up next year, but don't call metal's reigning royalty old. The band is somewhat celebrating the anniversary with the October 12th release of The Vinyl Conflict, a high-end 11-disc vinyl box set which collects the band's entire sanguine American Recordings catalog from Reign In Blood to World Painted Blood.
That's a lot of platelets right there, and with the CD medium dying a slow death and vinyl experience a bit of a renaissance, Slayer are reverting back to a 'classic' medium such as vinyl. It's been years since the Slayer vinyl has been in print - only the two most recent albums are currently available on vinyl, while the rest have been out of print for years and are very hard to find.
"I think that vinyl seems to be getting popular again since kids these days - and not-so-young kids - never got a chance to get into it. So it's new, but it's old," guitarist Kerry King told Noisecreep. "I think that is the idea of why to do it."Read the full report at this location.
