These were Slayer&#8217;s formative years and their ground-breaking stint with Metal Blade Records, still heralded as one of the most influential period of Slayer&#8217;s discography, spawning multiple generations of speed, thrash and extreme metal in subsequent decades. Photographer extraordinaire Wayne William Archibald saw the show at the now extinct Le Spectrum in Montreal QC on October 29 1984, and captured these amazing pictures to document the occasion.
