Decade of Aggression

Decade of Aggression is a double live album by Slayer and was released in 1991 through Def American Records (later renamed to American Recordings). Many of the band's fans view this album as the ultimate testament to Slayer's precise musicianship, with very little difference between the live and studio versions of the songs. The album reached No. 55 in the Billboard Top 200.

It's a point of pride with Slayer that they didn't add studio overdubs or otherwise make any attempts to "repair" the recording, unlike many other "live" albums of the time. This was the last release with Dave Lombardo on drums until 2004's Still Reigning DVD.
