Haunting the Chapel is an EP released by the thrash metal band Slayer in 1984 through Metal Blade and Enigma Records. Slayer's debut album Show No Mercy became Metal Blade's highest selling, leading to producer Brian Slagel wanting to release an EP. Recorded in Hollywood the recording process proved difficult when recording drums in a studio without carpet, although it resulted in drummer Dave Lombardo meeting Gene Hoglan who was to become an influence in his drumming style and speed. However Hoglan said he gave him a bunch of tips and never really gave him lessons, he was influenced by Slayer too.
Although originally featuring three songs, the record evidences a marked evolution from the style of their previous album, Show No Mercy, and is considered the first demonstration of the band's "classic" style displayed on later albums and is often described as a "stepping stone." The songs "Captor of Sin" and "Chemical Warfare" are regularly featured on the band's live set list. "Chemical Warfare" appears in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.
Slayer's previous album Show No Mercy had sold over 40,000 copies worldwide and the band were performing the songs "Chemical Warfare" and "Captor of Sin" live, which made producer Brian Slagel want to release an EP. The album was recorded in Hollywood with sound engineer Bill Metoyer, in a studio with no carpet which was a problem while recording the drums. Slagel was acting as executive producer. Metoyer is Christian and the lyrics from Show No Mercy did not bother him. However, the first words Araya sang when recording Haunting the Chapel were "The holy cross, symbol of lies, intimidates the lives of Christian born", and other anti-religious lyrics; Metoyer thought he would go to Hell for his part in recording the lyrics. These lyrical themes were inspired by the band Venom, who influenced King and was also into the Satanic image.
Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo set his drum kit on the concrete and the kit went "all over the place" while playing. Lombardo asked Gene Hoglan to hold his kit together, while recording "Chemical Warfare", with Hoglan thinking "I hope he does this in one or two takes, because this is rough." Hoglan was coaching Lombardo how to use double-bass drums to improve his drumming ability and speed, Lombardo asserts Hoglan was "an amazing double-bass player even back then," although Hoglan played double bass since a short time then. Eddy Schreyer provided audio mastering and digital remastering, with the cover art design created by Vince Gutierrez.[3] Haunting the Chapel was darker and more thrash oriented than Show No Mercy, and laid the groundwork for the future direction in the band's sound.
Hoglan worked as a roadie for the band after their lighting guy did not show up one night, and performed Lombardo's soundchecks.[1] Slayer and Hoglan would play Dark Angel songs during soundchecks, which is how Hoglan eventually joined Dark Angel. Hoglan approached Dark Angel guitarist Jim Durkin: "He came up to me one day and started giving me his criticisms of the band. He said we needed to be more evil. And then he goes, 'By the way, I'm a better drummer than the guy you have in Dark Angel right now.'"
Although the EP did not enter any charts, Eduardo Rivadavia of Allmusic awarded the EP three out of five stars. Rivadavia said Haunting the Chapel was a "stepping stone" that "offers important clues about this transition period, which saw Slayer's rock-based song structures give way to the non-linear, genre-defining style thereafter regarded as thrash metal's signature sound." The tracks "Chemical Warfare" and "Captor of Sin" are played at Slayer's live shows regularly.
Vocalist Karl Willetts of the death metal band Bolt Thrower asserts the record was an inspiration for the band: "When Slayer's Haunting the Chapel came out I had never heard anything like that before with that style of guitar playing. We were punks and heavy metal was alien to our upbringing. And other bands we heard like Venom, Slaughter and Metallica. So we took the elements of musicianship from metal and the aggression of punk and poured it all together." Chuck Schuldiner of the band Death said the record was "life changing at the time" asserting "That was some of the early stuff that gave me that push."
The black metal band Perverseraph covered "Chemical Warfare" on a tribute CD to Slayer titled Gateway to Hell, Vol. 2:Melodic death metal band At the Gates released "Captor of Sin" on a 2002 re-issue of their 1995 album Slaughter of the Soul.
Personnel
Tom Araya - bass guitar, lead vocals
Jeff Hanneman - guitar
Kerry King - guitar
Dave Lombardo - drums
He plays with fingers here. He started playing with pick in 1988.
+Jenik L gREAT OBSERVATİON...YOU ARE A VERY TRUE FAN...THANK YOU BROTHER...
He didn't start in 1988, he played with a pick as far back as Hell Awaits, you can hear it on the Bass break in Praise of Death (Though he likely used his fingers for most of the album), and he used a pick throughout all of Reign In Blood.
@@Totentanz2440 tour of hell awaits and reign blood he plays with fingers
@@weskleydavid710 not exclusively, in this video you can see him go back and forth with each technique. For example, on Criminally Insane, he uses a pick, but on Altar of Sacrifice he uses his fingers.

Thanks for sharing that, that's a really valuable piece of information !
Loud wired Lombardo interview
it sounds like horses chasing you and about to reach your ass. It has to be hard to play bass and sing fast at the same time, my respect to Tom.
This is with his fingers only. He did a great job. As a bass player myself I commend him on that recording right there. He didn't start using a pick until south of heaven.
In all the slayer albums without Dave , there’s no natural flow,
Not to take anything away from Paul as a drummer, however he’s just not able to hear things how Dave hears them,
The only drummer for slayer is Dave, I’m glad they are retiring.
Ту- ту- тру-ту-ту-ту!!! Что ещё надо. Очень круто!
soundS like d.R.I.
I love this album Haunting the Chapel..
playing along with it on guitar.... my arm is pretty much gone now
Simply love all music!
I feel that this really show that a bass player doesn’t need to play the most complex things to be a good player. He/she just needs to keep tempo and play most of right notes. The bass is the support the the other members use, not the leading lady.
Tom Araya Is Amazing!
that was cool!!
True that.. Motorhead, The Police, Rush, some I can think of for now, but if you think about it they're the perfect fit to the music they play. Maybe Tom doesn't fill up your expectations on bass playing, but when Lombardo was gone, even though the drummer who played for the band at the time was good enough for Slayer; Slayer was missing soul. Same with Tom! Now maybe it's not the case or maybe it is.. what's gonna be of Slayer without Jeff and Lombardo? Hope I made my point. Cheers bro!!
fuck yeah
i liked this a lot... what software is this made with? or how anyway is it made? thank you i'm a lot interested in tom's picking
thank you !!!
\o/
Nice tank you man
thats fine if you like his playing but you cant tell me he is in your top three metal bass players. Thats all im trying to say.
Great Metal vocalist
Average bass player.
A great bassist is the one that makes the band sound amazing, and Tom's bass lines are simply perfect for Slayer. You don't need to play complex to be an amazing bass player.
Thrashie
HELL YEAH!
Top 3 metal bassists? Probably not. Top 3 thrash bassists? Yeah I think so
@@MassimilianoCavalera Nah c’mon.
@@MassimilianoCavalera no
thank you very fuckin much
i have respect for his vocals but his bass playing is something that leaves fans with more to desire. yea its hard to do vocals and play an instrument but there are many who have been able to do it so no excuse for tom.
В натуре на D. R.I. Смахивает. А, кто нибудь знает о происхождении лого D. R. I.?
do some KILL SWICTH
