Hoglan was drum tech for Lombardo in the early Slayer days.

Leave Scars for me all the way..probably cos it was the first I've heard, and I know people hate the production but it's got it all, speed, agression and absolute HEFT. The riff directly after the chorus in the title track (the little breakdown bit) makes me want to smash things. And "Thr Promise of Agony" is a fucking masterpiece.

'Time Does Not Heal' is their best/strongest for me. Think Gene wrote lot of the riffs on that one? I remember picking up the double gatefold lp of it on release day and obsessing over it for weeks/months🤘

There is, however, the little matter of the awful cover of Immigrant Song... way worse than any of, say, Megadeth's covers. Otherwise, good album. Not sure which of the four I prefer though, never really thought about it tbh.

RE: Touring - I remember an interview in Snakepit Zine with one of the guys a few years back and they basically couldn't get Don Doty and (I think) Jim Durkin to leave California.  So that couldn't have helped.
