Slayer was the first Heavy Metal band I fell in love with, so immediately down into the deep abyss of metal. “South of Heaven” , “Repentless” or “Angel of Death” are highly recommended.
Slayer literally changed my life. Jeff hennamens guitar playing is literally what made me pick up a guitar, and that lead to me touring in metal bands through my 20s! RIP Jeff
The same with me. I used to play guitar and drums when i was a kid, only lasted a year. This year I started listening to Metallica, then Megadeth and Slayer joined. When i listen to metallica and megadeth, it makes me want to learn to play guitar, but as soon as I started with Slayer, and to his infamous drummer, I couldnt believe how someone was able to play like that. I just took my first drum class yesterday in years, and im looking forward to more. Bad thing is that its expensive as hell, and yesterday class was free.
This album, along with "Master Of Puppets", "Peace Sells . . . But Who's Buying" and "Among The Living" all came out in 1986 when I was 18 - what a great time to be alive !
Dave Lombardo on drums, best drummer in metal 💙 “Chemical Warfare” “Angel Of Death” “South Of Heaven” “Seasons In The Abyss” are some other Slayer songs you should consider checking out. Great reaction!! 👍🏽💓
He's awesome but I'd say Kai Hahto is the most technical while still being fast af. His background is in jazz but watch him play with Rotten Sound or Wintersun. He's insane.
LFG. Been waiting to see you react to some Slayer. Here's just a few other big Slayer hits to check out. Angel of Death, South of Heaven, War Ensemble and Seasons In The Abyss. Also RIP Jeff Hanneman.
lol!!!!!.....exactly!!!......"lighter" as in instead of the absolute jackhammer barrage you get on Reign in Blood it drops down to only a sledgehammer effect on South of Heaven and Season in the Abyss......lol
Yes!!! You can only imagine how amazing it was to hear these sounds at 16 yrs in 1986. There was a lot of extreme Metal music forming during these years, but this album was the most intense sound we had ever heard and it pushed everything in extreme Metal to a whole new level. Everything in extreme Metal genres we are listening to now has been influenced by this record and it never gets old.
From this album "Angel of Death" & "Postmortem" from South of Heaven: the title track, "Ghosts of War" & "Mandatory Suicide" Seasons in the Abyss "War Ensemble" & the title track.
Among the Big 4 of Thrash Metal, Slayer is the most "extreme" in terms of speed and brutality. The opposite end of the Big 4 spectrum is Anthrax, who is more melodic, especially in the vocals. They started out doing traditional thrash but branched out pretty quickly. A couple of songs from their early thrash era: "A.I.R." and "I Am the Law".
You can start at the first song on reign in blood. It’s a masterpiece front to back. You also can go back a few albums and do, hell awaits, black magic, die by the sword, or newer stuff like south of heaven, or war ensemble
War Ensemble, South Of Heaven, World Painted Blood and Angel of Death are some of my favourite tracks from Slayer. Tom Araya vocals are legendary, Jeff Hannamen (R.I.P) guitar prowess and Kerry King tattoo plus Dave Lombardo drums are insane. Long Live Slayer 🤘🤘🤘.
Oooooh yes SLAYER!!!!!!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽 got to see this band retire before my eyes these guys are true monsters of Thrash metal. There’s a reason why they are part of the Big Four
@@jefftrimborn1175 you got to see the late great Motörhead?!? You are one lucky man brother I regret not being able to see them live while Lemmy was still live RIP Godfather 🤘🏽🤘🏽
29 Minutes (the whole Album),that changed Music History forever.....one of the greatest Riffs ever......survived them 10 times Live.....best Mosh Crowd ever !Check out the Live Version Video with Gallons of BLOOD pouring down on the Group !!!
That's a pretty long album /s But yeah sometimes something short and to the point works so well! The reason for my sarcastic comment up front is to suggest checking out Onedice - Life. Circa 21 minute album of just thrash goodness.
That entire Rein in Blood and South of Heaven albums are fenominal. Excited for you to hear them for the first time. Any song from those two would be a good reaction. War Ensemble, Seasons in the Abysse, and Desciple are great songs too.
Fun fact: When playing live, this song was played alot faster (as with most of their fast stuff) If you are gonna do Angel of Death, i'd recommend the 2005 live from Download festival
This album changed the thrash scene, all other bands knew they had to step up their game! It is 27 minutes of hellish thrash that is unrelenting from the first bar of Angel Of Death. Necrophobic is 128bpm, one of the fastest they have ever written. Regarded as one of the best thrash albums ever.
I absolutely love slayer, first album I heard was reign in blood and was literally blown away, my favorites are reign in blood, hell awaits, haunting the chapel, south of heaven, seasons in the abyss! They are absolutely powerful, I finally got to see them live in Seattle at quest field and it was a literal war zone and they sounded phenomenal.
hell yeah! dave's drumming on south of heaven is some of my favorite. silent scream with the double kicks, and his fills on live undead, and on and on and on . . .
The drums on south of heaven album are so good. Bass drum tone is perfect and hits perfectly with a sub. Ghost of war has the that crazy drum fill towards the end. Seriously bad ass. " I deal in pain, all life I drain, I dominate, I seal your fate !"
I love Ghost of War as a total package, but I think the drums *really* shine on Live Undead. Just my personal taste, though. I feel like it gets overlooked quite a bit.
You need to listen to the whole album. I feel like after half an hour of speed thrash madness raining blood as the final track is even more effective... And after you listened to the glorious reign in blood listen to the albums show no mercy, hell awaits, south of heaven and seasons in the abyss... Ah slayer... Good times....
It's basically a song of pure chaos. It starts with eerie vibe then fucking badass riff and from then on it goes completely insane. Such a great track.
I would honestly recommend you listen to the whole "reign in blood" album in one go. It is not that long too because all songs are pretty short. But your mind will be totally blown after it and you really will ask yourself what you heard just now. It is a violent thrash metal masterpiece. Probably the best thrash metal album of all time.
Great reaction and comments as always. For anyone (including Ms. Aileen) who is interested, Tori Amos does an amazing cover of this song with a very different (but somehow fitting) vibe. Definitely worth checking out.
I only know this song because of Guitar Hero...3...if I remember correctly. I do remember it being so infamously hard at the time, compared to what Guitar Hero had done before. There were TH-cam videos of people failing that intro section within seconds 😄. I was never good at the game, so when I managed to just hit the fast strums at the beginning consistently it felt like an accomplishment. Then it transitions to the even faster part and I was done.
Great reaction. Slayer is good. If you ever want to react to something very slow and HEAVY, react to CROWBAR. The songs are Planets Collide and Lasting Dose. That would be pretty awesome to see you react to one of those. Thanks. 🤘🏻
Slayer's Crionics is where it's at. The track was so heavy. So far ahead of its time. This song to me built what thrash and old school death has in its blood.
Great reaction. Slayer has an endless list of great songs. I would recommend Angel Of Death as your next reaction. The album Reign In Blood was released on October 7 1986 and was my introduction to Slayer. 29 minutes of pure ferocity. Angel Of Death is the first song on the album and Raining Blood is the last song. The original lineup of Slayer is Tom Araya on Bass and Vocals. Guitarists Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King. Dave Lomardo on drums.
They were awesome live seen them 3 times and was at last ever UK performance, they just pounded us with all the classics them woosh it was over , absolutely gutted it was over. Awesome reaction look forward to the next one . "Sssllllaaayyyeeerrr"
Saw them on their retirement tour in San Antonio, TX. When they played this, I wanted to see all the pits start to swirl to this more than actually watching them play it. I watched them play it while I recorded the mosh pits on my phone. Multitasking.
welcome to the family, Slayer have no equal... killer band, been headbanging to these Legends snce the late 80's and don't plan stoppin' anytime soon 😎🤘☘ Respect & Peace ☘
Amazing reaction my friend Aileen!!...I love your reactions to Dimash, the best male singer of the world (In my personal opinion)...Now I want to invite you to meet, who is considered one of the Best Female Singers of the World (The best in my personal opinion)...The passion and dedication when Dimash is performing a song can only be compared with the person who has influenced him to sing leaving everything on stage: His idol, the queen, the incomparable, the Goddess: Lara Fabian.....Lara is the best female singer and performer of the world...She is a lyric soprano with a amazing vocal range and incredible breath control...She speaks and composes in 5 languages and sings in more than 15 languages....That's why she is the inspiration for Dimash and several singers around the world...You can see covers of her songs on TH-cam made by singers of the stature of: Dimash, Diana Ankudinova, Polina Gagarina, Forestella, Sissel Kyrkjebo, Floor Jansen, Diana Navarro, Giulia Falcone, Morissette Amon, Gabriel Henrique, Rimar, Katrina Velarde, Cakra Khan and others...Please react to her songs, all masterpieces, in LIVE versions, because Lara is more impressive when she sings live, so you can see why she is the idol of Dimash...Try to do it in this order and almost all songs are from the same Lara’s concert “From Lara With Love” in Montreal 1999, one of her best works: 1) Je Suis Malade (Singing in French)...2) Caruso (Singing in Italian)...3) Je T'AIME (2002 Live version in Paris Singing in French)...4) Perdere L'Amore (1999 Live version Singing in Italian)...5) Adagio (1999 Live version singing in english)...6) Broken Vow (1999 Live version singing in English)...7) You are Not From Here (1999 Live version singing in English)...8) Quédate (1999 Live version singing in Spanish)....9) Ti Amo Cosi (2019 Live version Singing a trío with Dimash and Aida Garifullina)....I hope to see you first reaction soon and if you don't mind, I'd like you to mention me as the person who recommended reacting to Lara...Here you have the link of her amazing performance of the son>g “Je Suis Malade”....th-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/w-d-xo.html
A pair of tunes with an absolute change in tempo but still holding that aggressive edge are "Seasons in the Abyss" and "South of Heaven" title tracks of their respective albums.
I'll never forget when I saw the "Reinventing the Steel" tour... Pantera with Slayer. It was an experience. That concert was so intense. It was like an ocean of people that you couldn't control. Your body was not your own that night lol!
The first time I saw Slayer in concert was 2007 in Norfolk Virginia at the Norva. While still standing in line to get into the building, we were third in line and had been waiting for about two hours in the snow, Slayer's tour bus pulled up outside. I don't really remember why now because it's been 15 years, but the band was trying to get back into their bus but the door wouldn't open. Tom Araya and Dave Lombardo were trying their best to kick the door open. It was hilarious. Absolutely love Slayer, and Tom Araya is such an awesome person!
10 years old when I heard Reign in blood for the first time, in 1986. A whole world opened up, and after Stewart Copeland, Dave Lombardo became my favourite drummer. Check out 'Jihad', so damn brutal.
Welcome to the family. Slayer has been my favorite band since the first time I heard this song back in the 80s. I was 15 and this was my favorite album
Slayer..... download right here in England.. Nothing gets better.. Embrace the chaos..😎🤘 Can't believe that you got Kerry's solo at the end, nobody does first time. It's supposed to be chaotic.. Excellent reaction ma'am..
My favorite "version" is actually a live performance where they transition from Raining Blood over into Black Magic. You can find it here on TH-cam as "Slayer-Raining Blood/Black Magic"
I was blessed of seeing Slayer live back in 2003, if you want some melodic heavy metal listen to "American Head Charge". Not many people know them but they were awesome :P
Hell yeah. Their best stuff (imo) is on their first 4 albums; Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits, (Haunting the Chapel~4 song ep), Reign in Blood. After that their stuff is still good, it's just different. Like AC/DC, they don't make a bad song, they make good songs, and great songs. The first time i saw them was on their Hell Awaits tour, in a tiny venue, basically a bar, called Liberty Lunch. I was standing directly in front of the stage left, the whole time, less than 10' from Jeff Hanneman. I like how Jeff and Kerry's leads are just mayhem, it fits perfect with the music. And of course Dave Lombardo's drums are killer, Tom's voice fits perfectly into it all. It's amazing how diverse their first album is compared to their later stuff.
I remember going to see these guys live about 27 years ago at Festival Hall in Brisbane , Australia…So loud you couldn’t even hear yourself yell. It was a sick show ..
I went to Ozzfest meets KnotFest before Covid and Slayer came out right before Slipknot closed and it was by far the funnest and most intense concert experience of my life. The mosh pit was crazy.
The song on the album that transitions into this is also amazing I always play them as one song since it’s so flawless of a transition. Also I’m sure people have said it but famous producer Rick Ruben who probably produced your favorite rap albums produced this album
Ah I grew up with this album. I bought it on vinyl when I was 12. Recently I bought the CD and still playing it almost every week. Raining blood brings out so much emotion from my inner warrior and it's perfect for training, every beat is a punch.
My father and I both love slayer. We got into it in the '90s. My favourite duo is Crooked Cross/Mandatory Suicide. When it came out, my father thought it was one song as it flowed so well from one song into another. Another thing, please read the lyrics. Another great reaction!
Saw them in So Cal OZ Fest, mosh pits were insane, literally 5 different 20 ft tall x 30 ft wide bonfires each one had there own mosh pits dancing around the fires like a 100 pack of pitbulls ripping at each other. best fucking concert ever!!!!
Saw Slayer in their final tour in an Amphitheater. As it came to Raining Blood the sky opened up and it poured rain hard as hell on us, was fucking epic. Remember hearing this album when it came out and yes it was mind warping.
Now she entered slayer. 😈 keep these coming.
Slayer was the first Heavy Metal band I fell in love with, so immediately down into the deep abyss of metal. “South of Heaven” , “Repentless” or “Angel of Death” are highly recommended.
Agreed Angel of Death is a great one….if anything it has to be the Live one from the Civic center wit all four OG members RIP Jeff 🤘🏽
"Dead Skin Mask" as well
When did you find slayer?
@@gamexsimmonds3581 I think I was 12 so ,87.
She has to listen to seasons of the abyss, raining blood and seasons in the abyss are the two intro songs that slayer fans learned first
Slayer literally changed my life. Jeff hennamens guitar playing is literally what made me pick up a guitar, and that lead to me touring in metal bands through my 20s! RIP Jeff
i kill every spider i see in honor of jeff.
Same, but for me it was Randy Rhoads
Same, but it was Nuno Bettencourt for me. Then I found Dimebag and my whole playstyle changed lol
@@jmwaspCFHFL STRONGER THAN ALL GETCHA PULL. I have a Dimebag tattoo and a Pantera prosthetic leg
The same with me. I used to play guitar and drums when i was a kid, only lasted a year. This year I started listening to Metallica, then Megadeth and Slayer joined.

Best year in Metal or at least in the top 3 years.
Correct mate, plus saw them all on their tours for those albums. RIP Jeff and Cliff.
Except Among the Living came out 1987.
I was 16, saw them all play Belfast and if I remember right Anthrax supported Metallic that tour!
Damn that year must of went hard lucky guy
This song is relentless brutal. Could be the best thrash song ever.
Second this
Should be the national anthem
Was lucky enough to catch this tour back in 86 . The pit was off the hook .
@@apwmojack "86." "off the hook." X for doubt.

Dave Lombardo on drums, best drummer in metal 💙
“Chemical Warfare” “Angel Of Death” “South Of Heaven” “Seasons In The Abyss” are some other Slayer songs you should consider checking out.
Great reaction!! 👍🏽💓
Jeff Hanneman was also one of the greatest songwriters in metal!! R.I.P JEFF HANNEMAN!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Between him and Tomas Hakke from Meshuggah
if you listen closely you even can hear Gene Hoglan helping out with the double bass :D
#allcredittogene
He's awesome but I'd say Kai Hahto is the most technical while still being fast af. His background is in jazz but watch him play with Rotten Sound or Wintersun. He's insane.
got to see him with the Misfits in October.... also best drummer in punk now
SLAYER! \m/☠️👹👹 You just earned my subscription Young lady.
thank you so much!
LFG. Been waiting to see you react to some Slayer. Here's just a few other big Slayer hits to check out. Angel of Death, South of Heaven, War Ensemble and Seasons In The Abyss. Also RIP Jeff Hanneman.
All these + Temptation :)
Don't forget chemical warfare,god hates us all,world painted blood ,also anything off undisputed attitude .
The Slayer albums they did with Rick Rubin are the pinnacle of their output imo. South of Heaven is an amazing track and great album.
many great slayer songs.
‘read between the lies’ is one of their best.
Good Taste Sir.
what do you mean, all their songs are the best (except DIM and UA, those are their best but not as best)
"Knock holes in the wall, throw your first in the air, and punch a stranger."
Yup, you just described a SLAYER concert 🤟😈🤘
Finally my request was granted! If you want something lighter from Slayer, try South of Heaven or Seasons in the Abyss.
lol!!!!!.....exactly!!!......"lighter" as in instead of the absolute jackhammer barrage you get on Reign in Blood it drops down to only a sledgehammer effect on South of Heaven and Season in the Abyss......lol
Yes!!! You can only imagine how amazing it was to hear these sounds at 16 yrs in 1986.

Thanx a mill. 47 year old metalfan here. Still in awe when i listen to Slayer after all these years.
From this album "Angel of Death" & "Postmortem" from South of Heaven: the title track, "Ghosts of War" & "Mandatory Suicide" Seasons in the Abyss "War Ensemble" & the title track.
Best person for music reactions right here, she literally feels it.
🤘🏼🤘🏼❤️❤️
Literally just finished your reaction to Cemetery Gates and couldn't hit the subscribe button FAST ENOUGH. Throw those horns up my friend
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
Black Magic, is a classic of theirs.
Especially the main riff and lyrics; their 1st album.
Black magic night slayer slayer slayer
One of my favorite Slayer songs of all time is "Seasons in the abyss". Incredible drumming. Great guitar. One of the best ^^
Slayer changed my life when I heard "Seasons in the Abyss" on FM radio in 1990. Mind blown!
Hell Awaits, this was my intro to Slayer....and speaking of intros.....Holy shit this one is bad ass.🤘🤘
I highly recommend Seasons of the Abyss, South of Heaven or Mandatory Suicide from Slayer. They're not as chaotic but still just as "headbangy"
You should check out BODY COUNTS version of this song.
Even the guys of SLAYER were impressed with their version.
Do it !!!!!!!!
And also: Black Hoodies !!
I saw Body County open for Ice T back in 92...
@@bpschmidt4707 Ice T had a busy night on that tour. Lol
@@Wykydtron666 Yup...like a true artist.
Body Count in general!!!
“Controlled chaos” is the best way to describe the ending to this song. Love it.
When I saw them they had Lombardo blasting the pedals and sticks for almost 10 minutes before they came in stage. Was pretty awesome.
Jup, Angel of Death is a masterpiece of theirs!
Highly recommend that song!
Hello pretty metal girl! This band is part of the Big 4 of metal giants. The drums and guitars are kick ass!

So loved your reaction, just watched it, epic, thanks!
Their final album has a video trillogy that starts with Repentless. Would love to see your react.
God this is savage!! I'll have to look into more of SLAYERs stuff myself.

Hell ya, saw them last at a zombie fest. The main 4 acts were Anthrax, Motorhead, Slayer, Slipknot. Took my oldest son to his first concert that day.

Is so awesome that you have this many amazing songs to react to, I still remember the first time I listen to this song it blow my mind
if you like the fast thrashy Slayer, I heavily recommend "Praise of Death" off of their Hell Awaits album. one of my all time tops
The way she spontaneously starts headbanging at the precise moment it should be... She is a new Slayer fan!
Hard to believe someone with a reverse headstock ESP is only listening to Slayer for the first time.

Very compliment!!!!studio version and no live version!!!!!!!❤️🤘❤️🤘❤️🤘
Just listen to the whole album front to back. It's only 29 minutes but hits harder than most bands double albums. It literally set the standard.
Amazing reaction my friend Aileen!!...I love your reactions to Dimash, the best male singer of the world (In my personal opinion)...Now I want to invite you to meet, who is considered one of the Best Female Singers of the World (The best in my personal opinion)...The passion and dedication when Dimash is performing a song can only be compared with the person who has influenced him to sing leaving everything on stage: His idol, the queen, the incomparable, the Goddess: Lara Fabian.....Lara is the best female singer and performer of the world...She is a lyric soprano with a amazing vocal range and incredible breath control...She speaks and composes in 5 languages and sings in more than 15 languages....That's why she is the inspiration for Dimash and several singers around the world...You can see covers of her songs on TH-cam made by singers of the stature of: Dimash, Diana Ankudinova, Polina Gagarina, Forestella, Sissel Kyrkjebo, Floor Jansen, Diana Navarro, Giulia Falcone, Morissette Amon, Gabriel Henrique, Rimar, Katrina Velarde, Cakra Khan and others...Please react to her songs, all masterpieces, in LIVE versions, because Lara is more impressive when she sings live, so you can see why she is the idol of Dimash...Try to do it in this order and almost all songs are from the same Lara’s concert “From Lara With Love” in Montreal 1999, one of her best works: 1) Je Suis Malade (Singing in French)...2) Caruso (Singing in Italian)...3) Je T'AIME (2002 Live version in Paris Singing in French)...4) Perdere L'Amore (1999 Live version Singing in Italian)...5) Adagio (1999 Live version singing in english)...6) Broken Vow (1999 Live version singing in English)...7) You are Not From Here (1999 Live version singing in English)...8) Quédate (1999 Live version singing in Spanish)....9) Ti Amo Cosi (2019 Live version Singing a trío with Dimash and Aida Garifullina)....I hope to see you first reaction soon and if you don't mind, I'd like you to mention me as the person who recommended reacting to Lara...Here you have the link of her amazing performance of the son>g “Je Suis Malade”....th-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/w-d-xo.html
A pair of tunes with an absolute change in tempo but still holding that aggressive edge are "Seasons in the Abyss" and "South of Heaven" title tracks of their respective albums.
I'll never forget when I saw the "Reinventing the Steel" tour... Pantera with Slayer. It was an experience. That concert was so intense. It was like an ocean of people that you couldn't control. Your body was not your own that night lol!
The entire album is this intense from start to finish.
Saw these gentlemen in Chicago. Got my ass thoroughly pummeled. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The first time I saw Slayer in concert was 2007 in Norfolk Virginia at the Norva. While still standing in line to get into the building, we were third in line and had been waiting for about two hours in the snow, Slayer's tour bus pulled up outside. I don't really remember why now because it's been 15 years, but the band was trying to get back into their bus but the door wouldn't open. Tom Araya and Dave Lombardo were trying their best to kick the door open. It was hilarious.
Absolutely love Slayer, and Tom Araya is such an awesome person!
10 years old when I heard Reign in blood for the first time, in 1986. A whole world opened up, and after Stewart Copeland, Dave Lombardo became my favourite drummer.
Check out 'Jihad', so damn brutal.
Your smile is really contageous 🤘😎🤘
Welcome to the family. Slayer has been my favorite band since the first time I heard this song back in the 80s. I was 15 and this was my favorite album
'Disciple' is a must by them :)
Slayer..... download right here in England..
Nothing gets better..
Embrace the chaos..😎🤘
Can't believe that you got Kerry's solo at the end, nobody does first time.
It's supposed to be chaotic..
Excellent reaction ma'am..
Great reaction!
Recomendations: Black magic, Piece by piece, Criminally Insane, Dead skin mask, South of Heaven, Seasons in the Abyss.
I love that room! Super jelly bro!
My favorite "version" is actually a live performance where they transition from Raining Blood over into Black Magic. You can find it here on TH-cam as "Slayer-Raining Blood/Black Magic"
I was blessed of seeing Slayer live back in 2003, if you want some melodic heavy metal listen to "American Head Charge". Not many people know them but they were awesome :P
Yes! F*cking Slayer! Everything is good!
Hell yeah. Their best stuff (imo) is on their first 4 albums; Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits, (Haunting the Chapel~4 song ep), Reign in Blood.
After that their stuff is still good, it's just different. Like AC/DC, they don't make a bad song, they make good songs, and great songs. The first time i saw them was on their
Hell Awaits tour, in a tiny venue, basically a bar, called Liberty Lunch. I was standing directly in front of the stage left, the whole time, less than 10' from Jeff Hanneman.
I like how Jeff and Kerry's leads are just mayhem, it fits perfect with the music. And of course Dave Lombardo's drums are killer, Tom's voice fits perfectly into it all.
It's amazing how diverse their first album is compared to their later stuff.
Still, after all these years, one of the most badass songs ever.
Iced Earth - A Question of Heaven, one of the best ballads in Metal! You should react to this one!
I remember going to see these guys live about 27 years ago at Festival Hall in Brisbane , Australia…So loud you couldn’t even hear yourself yell. It was a sick show ..
My personal favorite is "Tormentor" from their first album
I went to Ozzfest meets KnotFest before Covid and Slayer came out right before Slipknot closed and it was by far the funnest and most intense concert experience of my life. The mosh pit was crazy.
The song on the album that transitions into this is also amazing I always play them as one song since it’s so flawless of a transition. Also I’m sure people have said it but famous producer Rick Ruben who probably produced your favorite rap albums produced this album
Oooooooo yeaaaaaa
The thrash legends themselves...
Letttsssss gooooooooo 🎤🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🖤♥️🧡
Ah I grew up with this album.
I bought it on vinyl when I was 12.
Recently I bought the CD and still playing it almost every week.
Raining blood brings out so much emotion from my inner warrior and it's perfect for training, every beat is a punch.
"Raining Blood from a lacerated sky""....SLAYER 🤘🤘🤙🤙✌️✌️
When it comes to Slayer, just dive into the brilliance. You won't look back. 🤟🤟
My father and I both love slayer. We got into it in the '90s. My favourite duo is Crooked Cross/Mandatory Suicide. When it came out, my father thought it was one song as it flowed so well from one song into another. Another thing, please read the lyrics. Another great reaction!
SLAYER Now your talking... great thrash metal band...
Saw them in So Cal OZ Fest, mosh pits were insane, literally 5 different 20 ft tall x 30 ft wide bonfires each one had there own mosh pits dancing around the fires like a 100 pack of pitbulls ripping at each other. best fucking concert ever!!!!
Saw Slayer in their final tour in an Amphitheater. As it came to Raining Blood the sky opened up and it poured rain hard as hell on us, was fucking epic. Remember hearing this album when it came out and yes it was mind warping.
