The legendary tour “CLASH OF THE TITANS” that slashers all over the world have longed for. Introducing an amazing new excavation live album where you can experience the scene in the best possible way!
“October 9, 1990 Stockholm performance” is imbued with such a work. It is a set of 4 best audience recordings with 4 bands that appeared. If you’re an older brother who has experienced the 80’s slash, you’ll be thrilled by the name “CLASH OF THE TITANS”. A coupling tour by SLAYER and MEGADETH, half of Thrash’s four heavenly kings, the influence that is said to be “one of the most successful tours in heavy metal” spreads all over the world. It has also become the prototype for slash events and joint tours that are now commonplace. Until SLAYER retired … No, even now that he has retired, rumors of a resurrection have been repeated, and the topic of “Which band will participate !?” continues to be talked about.
The legendary tour has been held four times in different countries and countries, including the 20th anniversary revival version of “AMERICAN CARNAGE Tour”. It’s also a good opportunity, so let’s organize the whole picture here.

● 1990
SLAYER & MEGADETH + Testament / Suicidal Tendencies
・ September 22nd-October 14th: Europe (18 performances) ← ★ Coco ★
● 1991
SLAYER & MEGADETH + Anthrax / Alice In Chains
・ May 16-July 14: North America # 1 (49 performances)

● 2010 “AMERICAN CARNAGE Tour”
SLAYER & MEGADETH + Testament
・ July 23-September 4: North America # 2 (25 performances)
SLAYER & MEGADETH + Anthrax
・ September 24-October 2: North America # 3 (20 performances)

This is the whole picture of “CLASH OF THE TITANS”. With SLAYER / MEGADETH as the axis, TESTAMENT or ANTHRAX is semi-regular. Furthermore, it was a luxurious lineup with the addition of seasonal bands such as SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and ALICE IN CHAINS. And the most core and legendary of these is the only original 1990 edition made in Europe. The Stockholm performance of this work was the 14th concert out of only 18 performances.
“CLASH OF THE TITANS” was both a legend and an unexplored region. The world at that time was shaken by the impact of the invasion of Kuwait, and it was heading for the Gulf War. Europe, which is geographically close, was not in a state of being overwhelmed by rock and metal, and even on the topical tour, radio and television broadcasting could not be expected. And even if it was an audience recording, it was either individual for each band or there was a problem with the quality, and it could be said that there was no record that could experience all four appearances in the best possible way.
It is this work that strikes such a history from beginning to end. It is a master that was suddenly released recently, but this is already the best with “super”. At that time, there was an image that the slash was good with a roaring sound, but this work is beautiful and beautiful. Of course, the sound output on the band side is powerful and unrivaled, but even so, there is no chattering and the details are clear. Each of the riffs roars sharply and sharply, and the bass drum is also striking one by one. It doesn’t feel like a sound board, but it’s not a drawback but a beauty. The density without a feeling of squishy is strong, and above all, the real on-site mood makes my heart warm. At that time, I could put myself in a space I longed for, which I had only known about magazine articles and a few photographs.

And it is the slash paradise of four people and four people that is drawn with such a crisp and dry sound. After all, the time is too great. SLAYER was in the “SEASONS IN THE ABYSS” era when all four originals were available, MEGADETH was in the “RUST IN PEACE” era when Marty Friedman & Nick Menza joined, and TESTAMENT also had Alex Skolnick. “was. And SUICIDAL TENDENCIES. He released “LIGHTS … CAMERA … REVOLUTION!” With Robert Trujillo of the current METALLICA, and was voicing as the founder of funk slash with DEATH ANGEL and MORDRED. Since these four bands are shaving each other at the same venue, it is inevitable that they will become a legend. This work is a proof of sound that proves the historical fact with music, not with reason.
Thrash Metal The ultimate site is often thought of as the so-called “BIG 4”, but its concentration and calorific value do not reach the feet of “CLASH OF THE TITANS”. This work is packed with thrash metal in 1990, which was at the pinnacle of gorgeousness after the rise and fulfillment period. It is a miracle set that allows you to experience the ultimate scene. All metal fans … No, it’s a 4-disc set of Tokuno that I really want the slasher to taste. Come on!

★ A miracle 4-disc set where you can experience the legendary original version of CLASH OF THE TITANS. This is the best audience recording set for “October 9, 1990 Stockholm performance”. The details are clear without being afraid of the sound produced by the powerful band. Each of the riffs roars sharply and sharply, and the bass drum is also striking one by one. SLAYER / MEGADETH / TESTAMENT is a golden lineup, and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES is also currently enrolled in METALLICA’s Robert Trujillo. This is the ultimate live set where you can fully enjoy the 1990 thrash metal that was at the height of gorgeousness.

世界中のスラッシャーが胸を熱くして憧れた伝説のツアー“CLASH OF THE TITANS”。その現場を極上体験できる驚異の新発掘ライヴアルバムが登場です!
そんな本作に吹き込まれているのは「1990年10月9日ストックホルム公演」。出演した4バンドをセットした極上オーディエンス録音4枚組です。80年代スラッシュを原体験してきた諸兄なら、“CLASH OF THE TITANS”の名に心躍らない方はいないでしょう。スラッシュ四天王の半分であるSLAYERとMEGADETHによるカップリング・ツアーで、「ヘヴィメタルで最も成功したツアーの1つ」とも言われる影響力は世界中に拡散。今では当たり前になったスラッシュ・イベントや合同ツアーの原形ともなりました。SLAYERが引退するまで……いや、引退した現在でも復活の噂が繰り返され、「どのバンドが参加するのか!?」と話題になり続けています。
その伝説ツアーは20周年の復活版“AMERICAN CARNAGE Tour”も含め、これまでメンツや国を変えて四度実施されました。良い機会でもありますので、ここでその全貌を整理しておきましょう。

●1990年
SLAYER & MEGADETH +Testament / Suicidal Tendencies
・9月22日ー10月14日:欧州(18公演) ←★ココ★
●1991年

これが“CLASH OF THE TITANS”の全体像。SLAYER/MEGADETHを軸として、TESTAMENTかANTHRAXが準レギュラー。さらにSUICIDAL TENDENCIES、ALICE IN CHAINSといった旬のバンドが加わった豪華ラインアップでした。そして、この中で最もコアで伝説的なのは、唯一ヨーロッパで行われたオリジナルの1990年版。本作のストックホルム公演は、わずか18公演のうち14公演目にあたるコンサートでした。
“CLASH OF THE TITANS”は伝説であると同時に、秘境でもありました。当時の世界はクウェート侵攻の衝撃に揺れており、湾岸戦争へまっしぐら。地理的にも近いヨーロッパはロックやメタルにうつつを抜かす状態ではなく、話題のツアーであってもラジオやテレビ放送は望むべくもなかった。そして、オーディエンス録音にしても各バンド個別か、クオリティに難があるかのどちらかであり、出演4組全部を極上体験できる記録は皆無と言っても良い状態だったのです。
そんな歴史に終始を打つのが、本作。最近になって突如として公開されたマスターなのですが、これがもう「超」付きの極上。当時のスラッシュは爆音・轟音で上等というイメージもあったわけですが、本作は美麗・端麗。もちろん、バンド側の出音は強力無比なわけですが、それでもまったくビビることなく、ディテールも鮮明。リフの1つひとつがエッジ鋭くシャープに轟き、バスドラ連打も1発1発が際立っている。さすがにサウンドボード的なド密着感ではないものの、それも欠点ではなく美点。スカスカ感のない密度は強力ですし、何よりリアルな現場ムードに胸が熱くなる。当時、雑誌記事と幾つかの写真しか知る由のなかった憧れの空間に身を置けるのですから……。

そして、そんなキリッと辛口な端麗サウンドで描かれるのは、四者四様のスラッシュ・パラダイス。何しろ、時期が凄すぎる。SLAYERはオリジナル4人が揃っていた『SEASONS IN THE ABYSS』時代ですし、MEGADETHはマーティ・フリードマン&ニック・メンザが加入した『RUST IN PEACE』時代、TESTAMENTもアレックス・スコルニックがいる”黄金の5人”でした。そして、SUICIDAL TENDENCIES。現METALLICAのロバート・トゥルージロを迎えた『LIGHTS… CAMERA… REVOLUTION!』をリリースし、DEATH ANGELやMORDREDと共にファンク・スラッシュの開祖として気を吐いていました。そんな4バンドが同じ会場で鎬を削り合うのですから、伝説になるのも必然。本作は、その歴史的事実を理屈ではなく音楽で証明する音の証拠品なのです。
スラッシュ・メタル究極の現場と言えばいわゆる「BIG 4」だと思われがちですが、濃度も熱量も“CLASH OF THE TITANS”の足下にも及びません。本作に詰まっているのは、勃興期や充実期を経て、絢爛の頂点にあった1990年のスラッシュ・メタル。まさに究極の現場を極上体験できる奇跡セットなのです。すべてのメタル・ファン……いや、スラッシャーにこそ味わっていただきたい特濃の4枚組。さぁ、どうぞ!
