Best of Slayer

I only have 1 Slayer album, Divine Intervention, so far but I'll get some more. This album has now got me devoted to those fuckers in Slyaer. The lyrics on this album deal with the repressive nature of governments and how far they can go to obtain power. The songs are full of aggression and there are some hypnotizing parts like the beginning of Divine Intervention. I love this album, no wonder people call it Reign In Blood Pt. II. I recommend songs like Dittohead, Divine Intervention, and Serenity In Murder. I recommend some other songs from their earlier albums like At Dawn They Sleep, Angel Of Death, Raining Blood and South Of Heaven.
 
Hm. I'm not a big fan, but these songs are recommended:

  • Raining Blood
  • Angel of Death
  • Postmortem
  • Epidemic
  • Jesus Saves
  • Seasons in the Abyss
  • Dead Skin Mask
  • Die By The Sword
  • War Ensemble
  • Final Command
  • At Dawn They Sleep
  • Altar of Sacrifice
  • Black Magic
Probably more that I've forgotten. I only have Reign in Blood, and some downloads.

Slayer is a good band that put out one great release. Get "Seasons in the Abyss" and you more than half of their best stuff. Seasons rules cover to cover.

I love Slayer up to Seasons- you know Reign in Blood and South of Heaven are only like a little over 30 minutes each- so I would suggest putting them back to back on a 80 min cd- and then split up Seasons- and throw it on another cd with all of Hell Awaits.

I'd say you gotta get Reign in Blood and Hell Awaits- and I have always loved South of Heaven as well- Seasons is a little slower- black sabbath style riffs- whereas in both Reign in blood and Hell awaits Slayer makes a totally immersive wall of sound- that sounds so fucking evil- it has character- the song hell awaits or even Raining blood are good examples.

Many liked it but it's not true Slayer album.
Tom Araya, Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman, and Dave Lombardo all wrote and played on it. Its a "true" Slayer album because the band fucking wrote the album. Don't be an elitist piece of shit.

Seasons In The Abyss, isn't a true Slayer album, it's a BIG SHIT.

Go get "Reign In Blood" or "Hell Awaits", these are legends...
