Slayer have announced that they’ll release limited edition autographed Reign In Blood plaques to mark the record’s 30th anniversary.

Only 50 will be made available directly through the band’s website priced at $500 each. They’ll be individually numbered and feature the vinyl cover of the classic 1986 album, along with a tracklist and are signed by Tom Araya and Kerry King.

The plaque also contains a reproduction of a concert ticket stub a 1986 show.

Pre-orders are now open, with an estimated shipping time of late October.

Earlier this month, Araya and King reflected on the band’s Repentless video trilogy and credited director BJ McDonnell with his vision for the shoots.

Araya said: “Meeting him, he was excited. He really liked the fact he was working with the band – he’s a fan. His excitement rubbed off and made me excited.”

Slayer are currently on tour across the US with Anthrax.
