Why do you like slayer

Fans of latter-day albums like God Hates Us All might not immediately take to their sound, but if you live and die by Show No Mercy , these guys will have you kicking in doors and pledging allegiance to Lucifer in no time.

From start to finish, every track on that album has the sort of wily, arch vibe with which King and Hanneman left a crater on the face of music. Always remember that early on, Slayer were a lot of damn fun, and a band like Loud Night keeps that tradition alive. Mindnumbing Pleasure by Loud Night. With hatred-soaked riffs, concussion-inducing drums, and a vocal style that makes one think of a year-old newborn, this now-defunct band might have risen to Lamb of God stature had they not sounded so damn angry all the time.

Bring these guys back! Man, toy company Super7 really knows how to give Slayer fans what they want. Now, […]. Last month, Slayer guitarist Kerry King revealed to the world that he thought the band, who played their last show in December of before saying goodbye to touring life, quit too early. Now, guitarist […]. On the road for the final time, Repentless is the only song from the post- Jeff Hanneman era that remains in their live set. In a surprisingly deep cut, for their final exit Slayer have resuscitated the title-track from the not-greatly-loved World Painted Blood album of , the last LP recorded with Jeff Hanneman before his death four years later.

In the studio, the 10 -song set lost seven minutes of its original running time, simply as a result of the band speeding up. So svelte was its 28 -minute duration 29 minutes on CD , trivia fans! It takes you a couple of takes to get to the point where the music is extraordinary.

Then you reach that peak. The second song in the set from World Painted Blood, Hate Worldwide takes its cues from the many violent disagreements that pepper our planet. No more Mr Nice Guy, indeed. The problems started when Tom Araya announced this plan to the crowd, who immediately began booing. Plan B was hastily arranged, which saw the band playing the track live while attempting to keep it as close to the studio original as possible.

It worked. This striking phrase is also the title of the parent album. By the 21 st century, the band were back to doing what they do best, and Kerry King was much more certain about it.

In a striking interview with Kerrang! He was an amazing double bass player even back then. He really helped me out. Such was the difficulty Kerry King had in bringing Born Of Fire up to the standards he required of it in the recording studio, that this barnstorming thrasher was at one time known by the working title of Stress.

And nobody can show me God. As much as they ever did, it was with Seasons In The Abyss that Slayer attempted to find a place in the mainstream. Unveiled as a single in the UK , the song was issued in a plastic sleeve that contained fake blood. Despite this offer-of-a-lifetime bargain, the release failed to chart. The band also filmed an accompanying music video, their second, at the Giza Plateau in front of the Pyramids in Egypt.

The guitarist believed — and here he had a point — that the song has too many words, an impediment that caused his liking of it to cool in the subsequent years.
