As part of their monthly MP3 album deals, Amazon has Slayer‘s Reign In Blood on sale for only 5.00 in MP3 format. If you’d like a physical copy of the album, the CD is available for $11.70 and is an AutoRip, which means with the CD purchase you’ll also get a FREE MP3 download of the entire album.

This sale version of Reign In Blood contains two extra tracks: “Aggressive Perfector” and a remix of “Criminally Insane.” The original 10-song album, which clocks in at under 30 minutes, was released in 1986 and was the band’s breakout effort, mostly thanks to the wildly popular “Angel Of Death.” Featuring the original four members of Slayer, the album is a non-stop double-bass frenzy of thrash metal that set the bar high for other bands in that genre. A highly worthy purchase, even at full price, other standout songs are “Jesus Saves,” “Postmortem,” and “Raining Blood.”

Browse all 100 albums on sale this month for only $5 each.

With that, I’m off to see Slayer live in concert tonight! \m/
