The intro to At Dawn They Sleeps is in 13/8 or 15/8 -- very unusual for its time. That said I'm enjoying your reviews. :)

The first couple albums were pretty raw, but you can still hear how much influence they had on other bands. At Dawn They Sleep is definitely the standout track on this one. Nobody really knew how to record music like this yet, it was brand new, so they basically cranked up the reverb on everything lol.

Love this album sooo much, they played in the Bay Area all the time for this album! They might be from LA, but we made them our own!

Their singer is a Christian ironically. He sings about the evil. But doesn’t live it. Gotta respect that.

Great reaction, i think you should listen to Primus one of the most original bands that exist, even if you don't like them, they won't leave you indifferent to their sound.

good stuff Molly. Hope you dig into other 80s classics like Overkill, Nuclear Assault, Tankard, Kreator, Destruction and more. Such a great decade for metal...mainstream and underground.

I notice that you mostly react to guitar based music. Is that what you prefer to listen to, or behind the scenes do you listen to more electronicy music as well? Just curious. Because I'd be perfectly happy to see you react to all sorts of stuff outside of the rock / alternative / metal spectrum if you fancy it. On a side note, I think this got some classic facial expressions out of you, as it should be. Nice reaction. 😆

Great review! This was their reverb heavy album influenced by Mercyful Fate, which definitely gives it a proto-black and proto-death sound. At Dawn They Sleep is my personal favourite, though ive also always loved the outro to Hardening of the Arteries

On the three albums, "Reign In Blood", "Hell Awaits" & "South Of Heaven", they follow a certain guitar riff and drumming rhythm concept that they change up differently and stick to on each of those recordings. Which seems like you have noticed and will hear when you react to "South..."

Well guess what I'll be listening to in the car going to work tomorrow. Loved this album when it came out, had never heard anything so fast back then. I like Tom's bass being a bit higher in the mix. Wasn't this the album where the producer made Dave Lombardo record all the cymbals separately?
@mollyesanborn19 сағат бұрын
Yes I love the speediness of this album too, so much energy. And if that's true about them recording all of the cymbals separately that's crazy, must've taken them so long to record all of that!

That was on “Show No Mercy” - from Wikipedia > Lombardo said in 2015 that he was not pleased with how the drums were recorded. The engineer at the time had difficulties getting the right mix between the toms and the cymbals because they were too loud. The solution was to dampen the cymbals with towels and record the toms and cymbals separately. As such, Lombardo called Show No Mercy his least favorite Slayer album, although he emphasized that the songs were great, just not his performance

Great album. The title track, At Dawn They Sleep, and Crypts Of Eternity are my favorites on the album. One of the band members, Kerry King, recently dropped his first solo album and it’s worth checking out. But yeah, for Slayer, I’d say do Show No Mercy or South Of Heaven next. Nice reaction👌🏻

My favorite Slayer album. It literally sounds like it was recorded in hell. Despite breaking up in 2019, they’ll be performing three shows later this year: twice in September (Bridgeville, IL and Louisville, KY) and once in October (Sacramento). If you live in or near any of those locations, you can try nabbing a ticket.

Tom Araya (Slayer lead vocalist/bassist) does have a pretty sick melodic voice. He has about the same range as James Hetfield, and while not quite as raspy, it somehow sounds more intimidating. This makes me excited when you review South Of Heaven or Seasons In The Abyss one day as those albums is where Araya's melodic vocals flash the most (although he's still primarily a yelling vocalist 😅)
@mollyesanborn19 сағат бұрын
Yeah his more melodic side would sometimes flash through on this album and I love the tone of it, I'm definitely looking forward to hearing South Of Heaven and Seasons In The Abyss soon as well.
