Originally called 'Heavy Thunder' then in 1980 we changed our name to Slayer. In 1983 to stop any confusion with Slayer USA, who had just released their debut album 'Show No Mercy', we changed our name to 'Dragonslayer'. We had already pressed the 7' EP, I Want Your Life, Satan Is Free and Broken Hearts, under the name 'Slayer' so we had some labels printed with the name 'Dragonslayer' and we simply stuck them on to the EP's. We get asked many questions as to why we did that, that's the reason.Dragonslayer released their first ever CD and Limited edition double LP on Shadow Kingdom Records in October 2008. All the material was recorded between 1982 and 1986. Eight tracks on the album were recorded and mixed by Colin Richardson ( Slipknot, Machine Head, Bullet For My Valentine, ) back in 1982 at cargo studios Rochdale England Uk.Track Listing
