Decade of Aggression is a double live album by Slayer and was released in 1991 through Def American Records (later renamed to American Recordings). Many of the band's fans view this album as the ultimate testament to Slayer's precise musicianship, with very little difference between the live and studio versions of the songs. The album reached #55 in the Billboard Top 200.

It is a point of pride with Slayer that they did not add studio overdubs or otherwise make any attempts to "repair" the recording, unlike many other "live" albums of the time. This is evident in "War Ensemble" and "Angel Of Death" during which Dave Lombardo obviously struggles to keep up during certain sections. This was the last full-length release with Lombardo on drums until 2004's Still Reigning DVD.
