Still absolutely blows my mind how ridiculously fucking heavy and brutal this track is for the year it came out. Like was miles ahead of ANYTHING else at the time
@@MDK2_Radio Sodom in the sign of evil ep was way more heavy and brutal also, first bathory album, sentence of death by destruction and morbid tales by celtic frost were brutal as fuck too and they were all realesed in 84. I believe those bands were way more extreme and ahead of their time than slayer was.
@The Boeing Kid number of the beast realesed in 1982 not 84. A good album but not so heavy and brutal compared to sodom, destruction, celtic frost, bathory or slayer
Fun fact: Andreas Kisser of Sepultura admitted that he tried to write his version of Chemical Warfare on the “Schizophrenia” album with “From The Past Comes The Storms”.
@@HighBestkillerROBLOX Watch the SepulQuarta Storytellers video with Andreas regarding Schizophrenia. He said that song was his first contribution to the band on a demo of the same name.
The most blasting song ever made by Slayer. Not the heaviest Not the deepest Not the darkest But definitely the one that will make you headbang the most
"ARTIFICIAL FUCKING PEACE" One of my favorite "first listen" songs ever. The leaps Slayer took from "Show No Mercy" to this EP to "Hell Awaits" ... breathtaking.
He even remembers that the tom skins were red, because they were concert toms and didn't have bottom heads. So he saw directly into it as Dave pounded it inches from his head.😂
I was a junior in college when this song came out, still living at home. My dad would hand me a can of Raid and disappear, telling my mom, “He’s gonna start playing that crazy noise through his Walkman. We’ll come back in half an hour to see if he nuked himself…”
When Scott Ian used to say, and laugh "Slow ass Slayer!", Lol! After "Reign In Blood" was released he was a fan boy! I love Scott, but I'll never forget his distaste! Some words are never forgotten!🤘🤘
@@martinberthiaume4971 my brother introduced me to slayer at the age of 7 so it's been my absolute favorite since then, none came even close, so yeah i rock every track of em
When that came out after show no mercy I can tell you that this was " the real arrival of Slayer" . Show no mercy was great don't get me wrong but it was a very clean cut sounding album this on the other hand was something else
According to Loudwire's Wikipedia Fact or Fiction with Gene Hoglan, he was holding the kit in place while Dave Lombardo played to prevent it travelling.
@@ryanmozert Don't insult trans girls like that LMAO. I for one have been obsessed with Slayer since I was 12, It started with Raining Blood, now every album is cranked up to 11, except Divine Intervention, that's a pick and play album for me XD
@@ryanmozert Ooooffft, wrong comment section, I apologize for this severe lapse in brain activity, hopefully this will provide onlookers with a good laugh lol
Congratulations for making it far in the Slayer gig and surviving, when this comes on though.....game over, you are toast. Best ever Slayer song. Has everything in it.
@@DemonDog444 The spirit of what they stood for won't die, is a more correct statement. Which is basically implied when anyone says Slayer will never die.
Tom sings some of the most brutal lyrics and like the nicest coolest most chill dude in the world. Most of the time with a big smile. I kinda forgot about this song one of my early Slayer favorites.
I remember this coming out, we were waiting for it. My tape copy was badly recorded, but I still loved it. Now, I always increase the speed by at least 10% to get that old feeling back...
I'm old enough, I thought kill em all was the heaviest thing I ever heard. Then I found out about this and morbid tales by Celtic Frost. KIA started gathering dust.
I actually do remember when this came out (I was in Junior High at the time). And as much as I liked this song, I personally felt that Haunting The Chapel was better, but that's just my opinion. But regardless, still one of my favorite Slayer songs.
I remember going to a Slayer show (opening for Venom ) in Quebec city , that was 1985 or 86 . Everybody in the crowd kept yelling "CHEMICAL WARFARE" , Tom Araya got annoyed in the end....
I still remember linking this track to a friend who prefers listening to technical and progressive metal and his first reaction being - "Of course, why did I KNOW that it's gonna start with DZDZDZDZD on the E string!" :D
I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS 'HAUNTING AT THE CHAPEL' 12 INCH COVER IN YEARS 😀 AWESOME !! WAS THINKING OF BUYING ONE AGAIN..........BUT NO POINT I GUESS WHEN OUR FUTURE HAS BEEN FORECAST 😑
So peaceful and relaxing track.
Yeah, this is my meditation song.
👍👍👍
@@kevinmeadowcroft7799 Meditating with this song playing must be a pretty enlightening experience.
It actually is
It's funny but i actually find it relaxing
Still absolutely blows my mind how ridiculously fucking heavy and brutal this track is for the year it came out. Like was miles ahead of ANYTHING else at the time
It absolutely was. Think of 1984, nothing else at all was there like it that year.
Bathory?
Metallica - Fight Fire With Fire....!

And he did it well
Max Cavalera wrote that song.

Fico tão feliz de ver uma banda br ser admirada pelos gringos
Orgulho de ser brasileiro

Not the heaviest
Not the deepest
Not the darkest
But definitely the one that will make you headbang the most
Esse ep tem as 3 musicas mais headbangers do slayer
@@masb1141 com total ctz
This my favorite but Angel of death is pretty up there also
One of the*
Altar of sacrifice to
"ARTIFICIAL FUCKING PEACE"
One of my favorite "first listen" songs ever.
The leaps Slayer took from "Show No Mercy" to this EP to "Hell Awaits" ... breathtaking.
HELL AFUCKINWAITS!!!!!! 🤟🤟🤟
I love songs like this about peace, love and God.
And to think Gene Hoglan was holding Dave Lombardo's drum set in place during this song's recording
Really? That’s great trivia!
He even remembers that the tom skins were red, because they were concert toms and didn't have bottom heads. So he saw directly into it as Dave pounded it inches from his head.😂
That evil scream at 4:02…the best!
Yeahhh
1:55*
The Best moment
When american thrash metal was born...been a Slayer fan since '83 when Slayer rose from the ashes of hell.
Fuck i wish I'd seen em back in day
Same here bro,since they been playing at Ruthie's Inn....but I still think (imo) that Haunting the Chapel is a better,deeper tune...just fukn dark!!
When your dad tells you to go spray the bugs outside
literally looked this song up because im murdering flys with windex
I hope he's not telling you to spray a wasp or hornet's nest. Be careful that you don't get stung.🐝🐝🐝
I was a junior in college when this song came out, still living at home. My dad would hand me a can of Raid and disappear, telling my mom, “He’s gonna start playing that crazy noise through his Walkman. We’ll come back in half an hour to see if he nuked himself…”
When you're the USA Air Force and have to spray Agent Orange all over Vietnam.
Why did this gave me a strong beavis and butthead vibe? 😂
The perfection of this track is actually quite soothing
true
The best Slayer song ever!
Yes it is and I’ve been a fan since 1984
When Scott Ian used to say, and laugh "Slow ass Slayer!", Lol!
After "Reign In Blood" was released he was a fan boy!
I love Scott, but I'll never forget his distaste! Some words are never forgotten!🤘🤘
He wrote "Douche Crew" for S.O.D. about a perceived distaste of Slayers image
My favorite song from Slayer
R.I.P Jeff
Fantastic song, so much power, wakes you up first thing in the morning!!
Music doesn't really become better than this.
slayer is the greatest peak humanity has ever reached
Slayer is not my favorite band BUT this track is some fucking insane top of the top. I agree with you .
@@martinberthiaume4971 my brother introduced me to slayer at the age of 7 so it's been my absolute favorite since then, none came even close, so yeah i rock every track of em
I actually prefer this song to Angel of Death.
Love slayer but I got into cannibal corpse that hits heavier but slayers is dope
NOW! THIS IS SLAYER! What a great song!
Fuck yeah Slayer is the best in the world
I agree with you
When that came out after show no mercy I can tell you that this was " the real arrival of Slayer" . Show no mercy was great don't get me wrong but it was a very clean cut sounding album this on the other hand was something else
@@martinberthiaume4971 t-shirt!
I still own the original cassette tape that my older step brother gave to me because it was "too heavy" for him.
You mean your older step sister. Lol
What a f'n dork,he missed out on some kick ass, ORIGINAL,RAW SLAYER!
What A Plebe
Ig it just isn’t for everyone :/
I play mine every day lol
I love how close this is to black metal
Almost cried of joy and happyness on 3:40
Few tracks manage to generate as much catharsis in such a short timeframe, it really takes you for a ride. SLAYER!!!
According to Loudwire's Wikipedia Fact or Fiction with Gene Hoglan, he was holding the kit in place while Dave Lombardo played to prevent it travelling.
Dude, it's fucking Slayer. Why the hell not?
In the humble opinion of this old punk rocker and headbanger, simply the greatest thrash metal song ever
Just listening to this knowing Gene Hoglan was infront of Dave Lombardos drum set. Holding it together just makes this so much better.
good

The ABC and fundamentals of all Extreme Heavy-Metal (Death/Black) is here.
Death's early demos from 1984 were heavy as hell for the time also.
This is my classic rock.
The drums on the intro get me everytime
Love how the fills sound like machine guns. Surely it was intentional.
Still brings tears to my eyes, that groove, omg, that GROOOVE!!! Nobody ever topped Slayer!!!
The song to chime in my wedding anniversary. This is so romantic. Haunting the chapel is the best wedding song.
Congratulations for making it far in the Slayer gig and surviving, when this comes on though.....game over, you are toast. Best ever Slayer song. Has everything in it.
Slayer never will die \m/
they ded.
@@JohnMatrix81 hate to agree, but yeah
@@DemonDog444 The spirit of what they stood for won't die, is a more correct statement. Which is basically implied when anyone says Slayer will never die.
They retired after repentless. Jeff Hanneman died in 2013.
Would have loved to seen them with Venom back in the day.
Saw them with Venom and Exodus
@@glendoski1611 Quit flexing on us you fucking asshole
@@warhead5043 all they did was say they saw someone in concert that doesn't mean they're "flexing"
@@cheesecakes4 you ever heard of, "a joke"?
@@warhead5043 Sorry man
Slayer at it's best 🤘🏻. Still love this song after 39(!) years
Tom sings some of the most brutal lyrics and like the nicest coolest most chill dude in the world. Most of the time with a big smile. I kinda forgot about this song one of my early Slayer favorites.
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS SONG TOTALLY BLASTED THROUGH MY EARS
They also used the part beginning at 4:50 as the intro to South of Heaven's "Ghost of War".
Good ear
I remember this coming out, we were waiting for it. My tape copy was badly recorded, but I still loved it. Now, I always increase the speed by at least 10% to get that old feeling back...
Metal foda demais, aqui no Brasil a gente ama Slayer pra caralho!
eles simplesmente destroem --
Slayer é muito foda, PUTA QUE PARIU
slayer e buceta
Brasil? VULCANOOOO!!!!
Minazinha legal, bangueia, bangueia..kkkkk
This song influenced so many tunes I came up in my teens... What a rampaging power of a song!
SLAYER,,slay's my FUCKING MIND ,,,Holy SHIT! herd this in 1986 ,,still blows me awayyyeeeee!
,
Это не музыка, это песнь Богов, Ломбардо просто с ума сходит, ритм бешеный
This is the first start introduction run opener of slayer for ME!!!.. the rest is history!!!🤘👹🤘
One of the best slayer songs and one of the best songs of the genre too!!!
Wife: "There's ants in here!"
Me: "Hot damn! Party Time!"
Wife: "Party time? Are you drinking again!?"
Me: *SLAAAAAYER!*
😆😆
imagine how evil this sounded when it came out
@The Updog hell yeah bro

best slayer track ever
Don't forget Black Magic 🤘😁🤘
And also don't forget about Haunting The Chapel, The AntiChrist, At Dawn They Sleep, Alter of Sacrifice, and of course Angel of Death.
This just charged my phone to 666%
Nice... Mine too🤟
The chaos at the end! Magnificent!
One of my happy time songs 😁
What a song, fantastic thrash tune that just ripps.
Sodom heard this and said "let's make an entire sound exactly like this song" and we're all better for it
That's a really good point....
How can anyone dislike Slayer ? This is fucking lovely.
Probably the most underrated Slayer track ever. The riffs are so good
Still have the cd single I bought in the early 90's. This is pure art.
This shit never gets old....BANGING ON!!!..since *1979
I almost forgot this. Thank goodness i have all my albums still
Best Slayer song hands down! 🤘🏻
I remember going to a Slayer show (opening for Venom ) in Quebec city , that was 1985 or 86 . Everybody in the crowd kept yelling "CHEMICAL WARFARE" , Tom Araya got annoyed in the end....
Heavy metal music for ever...
Slayer forever 🤘🇬🇷
I'd only heard the muddy, echoey Slayer before hearing this. It was this very song that first made me go SSSLLLAAAYYYEEERRR!!!
38 years later, it still tickles my fancy
My all time favorite Slayer track!
1:55 Tom can't do that anymore.
He had a hard time with it in 86 on the Reign in Blood tour
Imagine screaming that much on your records, hell, I'd half ass Angel of Death if I had to play it live
I start my Sundays mornings with this without fail
Best Slayer song
I think he is referring to "why did they post it only now, and not sooner?"
Epic song. \m/
This is better than anything new out today,fing SLAYER!🤘199 🤘
audio mejorado por mucho y mas por ser de mis favoritas \m/ :3
Bons tempos
INSANELY GOOD 🐼🤘
SIMPLE AND AMAZING
Legend riff
I still remember linking this track to a friend who prefers listening to technical and progressive metal and his first reaction being - "Of course, why did I KNOW that it's gonna start with DZDZDZDZD on the E string!" :D
*MATADOR, SIMPLESMENTE A MELHOR BANDA DE THRASH METAL DO PLANETA* 🇧🇷
U a a a a 🐒🐒
Me and the neighbors jam to Slayer and Pantera every fucking day
4:02 if you play this at x0.70 it's suuuuuuuuper bouncy
04:00 IIAAHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HAAAA!!!
Desert storm syndrome I LIVED with 2 one is dead the other taught me how to rid yourself of chemical poisoning
(from 0:00) *break the green fret*
(0:20) *press and hold red and orange fret*
(from 0:21) *breaking your hand and your WORtar*
2:28 Chemical Warfare - Slayer (1983) ....... Disposable Heroes - Metallica (1985)
This EP came out in 1984.
Killer riff
I am reading a book now called "A Higher Form of Killing" about the history of chemical warfare. Truly terrible weapons.
First true sounding death growls IMO at 1:08 and 1:36
Especially 1:36
My favorite Christmas song
Mom: i want you to listen to less aggressive music
Me: my music isnt aggressive
The music:
The sound quality is fantastic! Artificial fucking peace!
2:43 FUCK IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
El himno del thrash metal ♥️🇻🇪
Esto parece más heavy metal que thrash metal.
@@marcosfernandezmartinez5284 que vas a saber tu de SLAYER como siempre alguna crítica
Haunting the Chapel is awesome all the way around.
4:50 That sounds like the beginning of Ghosts Of War
Because it is, I think they played the songs in conjunction when they still toured
Yep, they recycled the riff.
1:55
The first song to get me into this genre of music 1987
Hellhammer/Celtic Frost
Zurich
Switzerland 🇨🇭
Circa
☢️ 1983/84/85 ☢️
