Added a page for the multimedia bonus CD

The banner ads that have been located on top of some of the pages have
now been turned on, and are displaying banners from now on. I hope you understand that I
need to use ads like these to support the costs of this site. I don't intend to try to
make money out of the ads, just cover the costs. Also, if I get enough income from
the ads, I might be able to offer you cool things like Slayer contests!
Any companies that wish to sponsor my site in return for
ads or banners, please contact me at janek@slaytanic.com.

January 25, 1998
First of all, many apologies to everyone - especially those who wrote me asking when I
was going to update this site. I know many of you have come to rely on this site for
accurate Slayer information, but I just haven't had the time or energy to work on the site
lately. Besides, there really hasn't been any Slayer news to talk about - noone seems to
be sure when the new album will be out, and everything heard about the
alleged record label switch has just been rumours. My
issues of Metal Hammer (I am a subscriber) have also been very
late (3-4 weeks!), which of course hasn't helped me in bringing you fresh Slayer news.
I have a new hectic but fun job, and as you can imagine, it requires a lot of time an
energy to get into a totally new place. Also, working with computers 9-10 hours a day
means you don't feel like doing it at home aswell. Updates in the future
probably won't occur as often as they did before, but I'll try to update the site during
the weekends.
I've been working with some cool features that will make parts of this
site easier to use (for you) and much easier to maintain (for me). These
things will hopefully make the site more enjoyable and useful, and will help me to update
the site more often, since it'll require less work and time to do certain things.
Unfortunately, it will probably be another few weeks before you'll see anything of it,
since it requires that I get an additional web host with ASP (Active
Server Pages) support. You can expect enhancements of the discography,
tablature and trading pages, aswell as a new section about you - the
fans!
Anyway, here are the latest updates to the site:
Important! My web host (Pair
networks) will move their office tomorrow, Monday the 26th of January. If all goes
well my site will only be down for a few hours, but you never know... Please don't email
me telling my site is down tomorrow, since I will know about it! Let's just hope all goes
well.
Read some rumours and info about the new album on the Slayer news page!
Kerry King was interviewed in the January issue of Metal Hammer
magazine. He mentioned a few things about the new album - see for yourself on the news page.
Web chat with Dave Lombardo! February 8th at 6 PM EST - the place is Rockonline!
Many thanks to Bruno B for mailing me about this!
The Abyss has been featured in Metal Hammer (British metal
magazine) and RockHard (German metal magazine)! Read more on the awards page!
I've received many questions on how to get hold of Slatanic Slaughter I & II
(death metal tributes to Slayer) - it is now possible to order them straight from the
publisher, Black Sun
Records.
January 1, 1998
Happy new year!!!
Let's hope for a good year for Slayer and metal in general!
December 4, 1997
Ugh... I've been way too busy lately to do anything on
this site. :( I have a new job that takes a lot of time, I've made one trip to Poland and
there's one trip to London coming ahead this weekend, etc etc... I'm also behind on
replying to all the emails I get from you people - I'll try to catch up soon.
November 3, 1997
Added some news about Slayer, the new album and American
Recordings.
50 000 visitors - 10 000 in the last month alone!!! Thanks for making
this the most popular Slayer site! Also thanks alot to those of you who voted for The
Abyss as the best metal band page in the Internet
Metal Top 10! Keep voting! :)
Moved the old entries on this page (March to July) to a separate
page to decrease the loading time.
From now on, the short list of recent updates is available from the frameless index page
aswell.
October 29, 1997
Added several tabs to the tab page. Thanks to David Lichter and
"Natas".
I've also added ZIP files with all the tablature, after this was requested by several
people. They're available from the tab page.
Updated the FAQ with more info about released Slayer videos.
Thanks to everyone who mailed me more info!
I've remade the navigation bar (in the left frame) and made it a lot smaller. I finally
added a link to the trivia page and removed a few links to minor
pages, which are now linked from the "About this site"
page.
Made the frameset invisible which should make it look better on newer browsers. What do you
think? Let me know! :)
September 25, 1997
The Abyss was reviewed in Kerrang! magazine! "An
unofficial Slayer website which skins the official one alive" was the verdict.
Read more on the awards page! Many thanks to Fredrik Lundqvist for notifying me about the
article!
Another Abyss exclusive - the full version of "Disorder"
off the "Judgment Night"
soundtrack! Go to the sounds page to hear this song that Slayer
covered together with Ice-T!
Added a RealAudio sample of Slayer's newest song - "No Remorse (I Wanna
Die)" from the Spawn soundtrack) to the sounds page. Now
you can hear the first two minutes of the song, not just the 16 second
preview!
8 new guitar tabs - Antichrist, Altar of
Sacrifice, Hallowed Point, Abolish Government/Superficial Love and
additional versions of War Ensemble, Skeletons of Society and Seasons
in the Abyss. Thanks to David Schellhaas
and Adrian Verdejo!
Added several new MP3 links (Gemini, Chemical
Warfare, Haunting the Chapel, Disintegration/Free Money) and added a section about MP3 players.
Nine additional bootleg CD covers - I now have
covers for almost all the listed CD:s! Added several vinyl boots and added additional info
about vinyl colours, recording dates & locations and more... Many many thanks to the
Slayer collector Richard Lehrke for the
covers and info!
Edited the mailing list page to make the instructions
even easier to understand...
August 7, 1997
A lot of changes to the bootleg page: added about a
dozen new entries, sorted the boots in alphabetic instead of chronological order,
added more precise recording dates & locations and added 5 new covers. Many thanks to Richard Lehrke for sending me his bootleg list
and the covers! Also thanks to Paul Vangenhassend
for sending me the tracklist for the "Praise
of Death" bootleg.
Added two new pictures: one of Jeff and one promo picture of the
entire group. Thanks to John Petty!
Added a few pictures to the page about Jeff, and edited
the other member pages to make them look better under low
resolutions.
August 1, 1997
Added a note to the "Hell Awaits" page
about a limited orange picture disc. Thanks to "Bear" from down under! :)
