 | | Although there wasn’t that much time between the releases of Show No Mercy and Haunting the Chapel, the differences in sound and song-writing are noticeable, as this EP starts to sound more like the ‘classic’ Slayer grind. |
 | | Like lots of early stuff by bands such as Iron Maiden or Motörhead, the song almost seems more punk than metal, apart from the solo, that is. Anyway, Haunting the Chapel shows a more mature, focused, and confident Slayer, a band that slowly but steadily would become the quintessential thrash band. |
 | | While the shorter songs in between are probably too much for most of us in their mind-numbing pace and brutality, the first and last track prevent the album from sounding to monotonous, and show that by 1986, a bunch of Californian bums had become the reigning thrash outfit.Note: again, several editions are available. |
