This one had stax’s brain in shambles😭😭😭😭

It needs to be remembered what happened. Brutal, yes. It happened to REAL people. Just because of prejudice...it can happen again if we dont remember

This song is about Jozef Mengele , the Nazi doctor called the angel of death......

Nice reaction, Stax. Slayer unapologetically describe the hell that men can inflict on other men - it's meant to be as uncomfortable as possible.

Dr. Josef Mengele, who is the angel of death who basically tortured and did experiments on the Jews during the holocaust. Slayer sings a lot about stuff like this. They keep it real. And hard as hell.!!

I believe the breakdown in this song is used in "she watches channel zero" by public enemy. I don't think you have done that song yet.

“Slayer” ❤️🎸🔥

Slayer’s iconic album cover for “Reign In Blood” was designed to reflect the band’s intense music and dark themes. The artwork, created by Larry W. Carroll, draws inspiration from the title track, “Raining Blood,” which evokes a sense of eternal torment in hell. The cover combines elements of 1980s horror and underground comics, resulting in a striking and memorable image. Despite its graphic nature, the cover didn’t create negativity for the band; instead, it contributed to the album’s impact and status as a classic in thrash metal history .Not a'lot of bands will bring attention to this kind of subject.. but Slayer will and ram it down your throats...this kind of subject needs to be remembered and not forgotten.

the best metal band ever my channel and this line = top 3 all time in the genre

Produced by Rick Rubin. 🤘

It's a great song, don't ever feel bad for what other people did! Only feel bad for things you did. It's called self-esteem, which is a great song by Offspring.

This song is about Josef Mengele

Saw slayer with agent orange in a small venue with only about 2000 people one of the nastiest pits I've ever been in

Good classic hardcore thrash choice, and, as many have pointed out, the subject of Josef Mengele was a very real monster. He was one of the heads of the Auschwitz death camp where he committed horrible experiments and did get away with his crimes. He died in Brazil in '79 from a stroke while swimming and drowned which was much kinder than what happened to his victims. Slayer has always gone for the dark subjects like him and many others. 213 on their 1994 album Divine Intervention is about cannibal murderer Jeffrey Dahmer is another example of their brutal songs and subjects. There has always been a fascination with the Nazis after their defeat, Slayer were not the first, as there were several movies about them and Mengele. The 1976 Dustin Hoffman movie Marathon Man has a Nazi doctor as the villain based off Mengele, I don't recommend watching that movie if you are having a dental appointment, and the 1978 movie, based off the Ira Levin novel of the same name, The Boys from Brazil with Gregory Peck playing the evil Nazi scientist. Still, dig your choice and keep up the content.

🤘🤘🤘

Its not something that should be celebrated but its something that needs to be addressed so it never happens again..that's the whole point of the song..they aren't condoning it but educating people about the atrocities that happened during this time period..I get you don't agree with the subject matter..any sane person wouldn't but you can help to bring awareness to your generation who for the most part are ridiculously clueless..

Raining Blood next!

Slayer is the soundtrack of hell Or Heaven for some of us

it's a history lesson, not a praising of what happened.

Cool homie

~We write about the dark side of humanity~ "Tom Araya

Check out Gemini & Payback both are by Slayer

"Silent Scream" is another sensitive topic.

Good call diving into this one. These guys were a major component of my musical awakening. This one is an honest look into the ugliness and hatred that embodied the devil nazis (nope, ain't gonna capitalise it). Maybe hit up War Ensemble from these guys. It's a commentary on some aspects of war in general.

Yea hard to listen to but I think that’s the point.

For me the best slayer was the south of heaven and seasons in the abyss albumns

Hey Stax you know this song is about

I prefer Gwar over Slayer salamizer or sick of you? Or have you seen me or slaughterama or the road behind or black and huge? Those are all pretty good songs

Slayer always found the most controversial subjects and told them in the most brutal depiction. Of course, Mengele and the medical experimentation are a really controversial subject. Slayer also always tells the story but doesn't necessarily agree or disagree. In Angel of Death there are subtle hints of disagreement (infamous butcher, rancid angel of death flying free) - but most people see the song as a glorification of Mengele and what he did - it is just pure story telling, not approval. Controversial subject aside - Slayer rips your face off with the tempo and the "haunting" guitar tone with amazing speed. This album, Reign in Blood, is widely considered top 5, maybe 10, all time of influential metal albums. 🤘

The thing is bro, all of those lyrics are real. That is what "The Angel of Death" did to fellow humans. Never forget that. Josef Mengele was a monster! And I'm not even Jewish.

A history lesson brought to you by Slayer. Iron Maiden does similar things just not this heavy. I actually watched a Jewish reactor do this and he loved it. Repentless official video please.

but remenber, metal/raock only alive

Just know that Slayer tell stories and do not condone the shit that Tom sings about. They are misunderstood by a lot

Pioneers of THRASH!!!

Reactors who can't handle damn near 40 yr old songs in metal.... it goes harder, it goes faster, it gets far far worse. In the words of Nattefrost "it's darker then you think" if this is too much quit now lmao

@DUNO1971 gets it. We will guide you through the darkness and brilliance that is SLAYER
