Forty years ago on October 7, 1986 SLAYER delivered Reign In Blood one of the most uncompromising metal records of all-time. Executed with unrelenting speed, unmatched integrity, and unflinching intensity, the Gold-certified album has influenced generations of bands to follow, resonated with legions of tastemakers and peers, and incited both obsession from fans and fear from the mainstream in equal measure. The band will celebrate four decades of this watershed album with the release of a brand-new Liquid Filled Vinyl on November 20. The limited-edition “Blood” Filled Zoetrope 1LP is loaded with crimson-red liquid and available exclusively via Sound Of Vinyl. It stands out as the first-ever “Blood” infused version of Reign In Blood.

ARCH ENEMY announce a special intimate performance set for November 19 at 1720 Warehouse in Los Angeles. For the “Back To The Root Of All Evil” show, the band will dig deep into its expansive catalog for a stacked setlist and old school set. It’s an instant can’t miss event. Tourmates Crypta and Thrown Into Exile will appear on this special show.

Record Store Day’s RSD BLACK FRIDAY 2026 is scheduled for November 27, and the list of available product has been released. Check it out at recordstoreday.com/SpecialReleases.
