So, with 1988’s \u003ci\u003eSouth of Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e the band opted to pump the breaks of their manic-and-satanic signature sound — at least kind of. While full-fury blitzkriegs still existed (“Cleanse the Soul”) the biggest hits were the ones that took their time to terrify you. “Mandatory Suicide” is an eternal banger, while few metal intros are as instantly recognizable and expertly chills-inducing as the creep-crawling guitar lick that leads off the title track. Mesmerizing as it is menacing, \u003ci\u003eSouth of Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-have for any true metal fan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 South of Heaven\u003cbr\u003e2 Silent Scream\u003cbr\u003e3 Live Undead\u003cbr\u003e4 Behind the Crooked Cross\u003cbr\u003e5 Mandatory Suicide\u003cbr\u003e6 Ghosts of War\u003cbr\u003e7 Read Between the Lies\u003cbr\u003e8 Cleanse the Soul\u003cbr\u003e9 Dissident Aggressor\u003cbr\u003e10 Spill the Blood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"8tsvoy-rh7ha5-fj1zrf-fmff5d\" data-cel-widget=\"dpx-detail-bullets_csm_instrumentation_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"detailBullets\" data-csa-c-id=\"6nepmd-m5h01y-r1765y-wms86s\" data-cel-widget=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBulletsWrapper_feature_div\" data-feature-name=\"detailBullets\" data-template-name=\"detailBullets\" class=\"a-section feature detail-bullets-wrapper bucket\" data-cel-widget=\"detailBulletsWrapper_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47532459229402,"sku":"SLAYER-SOUTH-OF HEAVEN-LP-7921","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4709\/4490\/files\/2298148.jpg?v=1769244675","url":"https:\/\/metaledgemag.com\/products\/slayer-south-of-heaven-lp","provider":"Metal Edge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
