Media type: CD

1990 saw SLAYER in what some envisaged as an unholy union on the 'Clash Of The Titans' festival touring package. Three out of 'The big four', SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX teamed up for a series of monumental shows across arenas in Europe and North America. The eighteen shows in Europe had SLAYER and MEGADETH joined by SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and TESTAMENT. For the stateside dates, ANTHRAX was added and the then relatively unknown ALICE IN CHAINS opened. One result of these dates is that Araya was invited to guest on ALICE IN CHAINS 'Dirt' album. His contribution comes in the form of a Slayeresque scream on an untitled track.

The 'Seasons In The Abyss' album arrived in October 1990, breaking into the US Billboard charts at number 40 and giving the band a top twenty record in the UK. A promotional video for the title track was filmed in Egypt. Musically, 'Seasons In The Abyss' was to be the group’s most caustic outing to date, with the track ‘Dead Skin Mask’, concerning serial killer Ed Gein complete with the whimpers of a young child for added effect, provoking particular disgust. A double live album 'Decade Of Aggression' followed in 1991. This two disc, hitting number 55 on Billboard, set was proudly issued in a raw state, incorporating none of the usual live album clean ups or overdubs. Disc one comprised a July 13th 1991 gig at the Lakeland Coliseum, Lakeland, Florida whilst the second disc hosted material recorded at Wembley Arena, London, United Kingdom, October 14th 1990 and the Orange Pavilion, San Bernardino, California, March 8th 1991. A limited edition of 10,000 metal box collectables added two extra tracks in ‘Skeletons Of Society’ and ‘At Dawn They Sleep’.
