The intro of the first track 'Hell Awaits' played backwards reveals the repeated phrase 'join us'. Lyrical themes on “Hell Awaits” are darker than on “Show No Mercy”. To that end, Slagel financed a recording budget (“Show No Mercy” was paid for by band members) and recruited several experienced producers to help in the studio. As a result, producer Brian Slagel desired to release a second Slayer album. The band's previous release, debut album “Show No Mercy”, became Metal Blade Records' highest selling release. Re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band. Perfect DVD release that will definitely please Slayer fans' cravings for more!!ĭolby Digital 5.1 2.0 | PAL | 0 | 138 min. Those who want a laugh will apply for the documentary too. It also won a 2003 Metal Edge Readers' Choice Award for DVD of the Year.įans of the band will like this DVD which stays true to Slayer's uncompromising and brutal live show.

It was certified Gold for selling over 50000 copies. 'War At The Warfield' was well received by critics, debuting at number three on the Billboard DVD chart, and sold over 7000 copies in its first week. Bostaph was subsequently replaced by the original Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo.

It is the last release by Slayer with drummer Paul Bostaph (before he came back in 2013), who left due to a chronic elbow injury. Included also is a rather hilarious 50 minute documentary, full of stupid fans doing stupid stuff, a video for the “God Hates Us All” cut 'Bloodline', an interview with the band, and a rather small photo gallery. The main attraction of this DVD is yet another bold and terrifyingly energetic performance from the band, which is just what fans would expect. This must be what fans have been waiting for and undoubtedly rekindles the fires of their past live offerings. Recorded at Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, California, on December 7, 2001, it is the band's second video album. First DVD by the legendary American Thrash Metal Band.
