Notes:
– Formed in 1978 as ‘Heavy Thunder’. From 1980 until 1983 they were the first band to use the name ‘Slayer’. Known as ‘Dragonslayer’ until they split in 1987 and thereafter. This page here covers the band under all their names.
– Apart from the discography below, another two demos were recorded in the very early 1980s which are now lost. Guitarist Phil Odins recalls a couple of song titles: ‘Calling The Devil’ and ‘Memories And Teasers’
– Featured on the compilation “The Metal Collection Volume II” (LP, Ebony Records, 1987) with the track ‘Rock The Radio’
