Slayer's first two albums were basically just independent at that time. They were signed by a major label in '86 and that's what put them on the map.
But reality doesn't play a part here! Slayer's first album sold 20 000 units in the US, so they were a major influence!



No, really, Slayer couldn't have been an influence, I think that's clear even to DevilsSon. But the Stones were and are an influence, and also an influence that can be heard in the music, if you want to hear it. Not that an influence HAS to be heard, unlike DevillesSon likes to think.
