....@ E. Frasday :: totally agreed

Some of Kerry's and jeff's best riffs

+Enrico Frasday so true Enrico....

After Crypts of Eternity.

I agree but I love Gemini off of Undisputed Attitude.....

I prefer the 213 "love song" into

Damn right it sounds killer evil took his soul on this song kill kill!!!!!! There the best metal bad they will never be replaced but missed

in history!!

And in all likelihood, it's best live performance

This version is by far the BEST!!!!

Easily!!!

I agree!

sickman1972 all of reign in blood,most south of heaven,hell awaits, seasons and diabolus in musica done by the one and only

Jeff Hannenman best ever.

And king wrote more on South of heaven then Hannaman.

Hannaman best work is divine intervention.

Jeff didn't write all of Reign In Blood. Kerry co-wrote 7 songs on the album, and wrote one song entirely on his own. The only classic-era Slayer album where Jeff wrote most of the music was South Of Heaven.

Nothing quite has the twisted vibe of Hell Awaits. It is the most evil metal as far as I'm concerned, none of the death and black metal bands that followed made anything as rotten and grotesque.

I don't remember the exact timing, but damn, within a 3-4 year period you had these Slayer lp's coming out, the MONUMENTAL Kreator first albums coming out, Destruction, and the beyond description Possessed-Seven Gates album coming out. You cannot imagine how full my record player stayed, or at work how the tapes I made of these classics I jammed to at hyper velocity speed.

I think this would be considered their best album if it had the production of Reign in Blood.

As a teenager I went to Liverpool penny Lane records to buy the record. I read all the lyrics and looked at all the art on the bus journey home when I then blasted it. Holy hell I couldn't believe how sinister it sounded. That was 32 years ago

I remember being 4 years old and looking at my dad's vinyl collection. Saw this album with the skull bleeding demons and was like fuck this is amazing. Made my dad put it on and ever since...well the rest is history. Btw that was South of heaven haha

Yes !!!

All slayer abums are the best fo me

Show No Mercy & Hell Awaits Fucking Rules!

Hell Awaits is an atmospheric masterpiece. Every song is so well written, when they're combined into a whole album it gives you an experience of being in a really good horror film through the listener's ears by horrific riffs and lyrics. In terms of atmosphere, only Seasons In The Abyss would come close to Hell Awaits' perfection.

@@erhansolhan9564 yea dude. I how hell awaits album ends on the intro to the song

Hell Awaits and Seasons are a close tie for me.

Like your avatar - Sepultura

This is my 2nd favorite. Angel Of Death, my first. (^_^)

🤘🤘🤘

I feel they changed a bit for divine intervention and undisputed attitude but they still played metal unlike Metallica going from thrash to metal to rock

I dont think they know how to do anything else which is why they’ve always made the same album over and over again

Diabolus

👍👍👍

+BulletSpawn3000 the vibe on Hell Awaits was inspiring. It felt like the 9th circle of hell had come up through a crack in the surface. That was definitely Hanneman at work.

BulletSpawn3000 IRON MAIDEN ALSO GIVE A GREAT STAGE SHOW!!!

i would love to see them live

BulletSpawn3000 YOU ROCK \m/ was absolutely the MOST brutal and serious shit decades ago... before cell phone cameras could incriminate... a SLAYER show could decimate, assionate, and incinerate thy SOUL \m/

💯💯

100% agree

💯

Definitely. There’s something about that whole period around Divine Intervention - irrespective of whether you rate the album or not - that had a really good vibe that suited Slayer.

No, it doesn't. The original version has more gloom and darkness feeling that this version lacks. Same feeling on the whole album.

I thought he messed up the lyrics but it sounded even more badass

Except Pantera :)

@@derdenserr Not nearly as bad ass

@@golsamen9428 cant compare em tho but slayer did open for pantera.

@@Ruffnek310​​⁠you mean Pantera opened for Slayer.

@@DayInTheLifeOfAl nope, extreme steel tour it was more of a co-headline tour but pantera played last.

Rojtel K Paul is very underated but what a great drummer

One of their very best songs! But there's nothing scary about it.

Paul is great Lombardo the king

Damn straight. I wish the bass was more audible in the mix, though. It really adds to the oppressive atmosphere of the song on the album.

Rojtel K Jon Dette is way better than Bostoph . I saw slayer a couple months ago on their last leg of their last tour.....Bostoph was aweful

Man fuck yeah, I cracked a rib the first time I saw slayer too. Knew something was wrong but didn't leave the pit once \m/

absolutely. yes---

But didn't have Dave's power

Very catchy, a bit groovy and has a unique snap to it... really well made.

The '95 cell phones had only 1 use: TELEPHONE. Imagine a thrashing/moshing/crowdsurfing/stagediving Slayer-fan using a telephone to call....ehm....who exactly?!? :-p "Hey mom....umf....it's....gup....everything fine....splash....over here!" LOL

if u were lucky enough to have a cell.. back then it was like carrying a brick..a deadly weapon..

Can't stand that poser shit

Same here, lots of concerts and live clips on vhs tapes.

Miss those days!

This albums has crazy bass lines for a slayer album

And time signatures. The opening riff is 10/8

@@Headbanger9000 good call! I would almost say HA is their most technical album (prog 🤣🤣…blasphemy, I know!) where RIB was pure hell fire speed, HA is breakneck, but like you said, the time signatures on that album are insane

You might assume Tom being the frontman he writes the majority of the lyrics but it's Kerry and Jeff who wrote most of the songs. Tom has written some and so has Dave but mostly it's Kerry and Jeff.

if you can't remember the year, then you don't remember and may be just a typical "i was there" braggart.

because death is fucking them INSANE!

Corozal De los Ochenta yup!! 👊

Sodom

Sodom

Wartox13 ifkr !!

3:57 for me

But 257 when my thrashing began but @ age 36 only had a min to kill my neck feel dizzy

4:39 for me :D

Slayer and Exodus true to thrash
