Slayer was offered to open for Bitch at the Woodstock Club in Los Angeles, performing eight songs — six being covers.

While performing Iron Maiden's "Phantom of the Opera" the band was spotted by Brian Slagel, a former music journalist who had recently founded Metal Blade Records.

Impressed with Slayer's performance, Slagel met with the band backstage and asked them to record an original song, "Aggressive Perfector" for his upcoming Metal Massacre III compilation.

The band agreed and the song created underground buzz, which led to Slagel offering the band a recording contract with Metal Blade.
