Controversial opinions on metal

[Manic Ferocity]

Yeah, I find the vocals on Show No Mercy to be lacking a little bit. It's still a great album but I think Slayer truly reached their peak with Haunting the Chapel and Hell Awaits.

 

[sevag00]

Slayer is ok, the voice is shit tho, but Seasons in the Abyss is one of the greatest metal songs of all time

Araya has a terrible voice, but fits Slayer well. Also not the "Seasons in the Abyss" song is great, but the whole album is a masterpiece.

 

[DarkBliss]

I also really like the title track on Seasons. Wish I could say this about the entire album.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i kind of like the title track, maybe the best thing on it, it's a really bad album though. in fact if they'd broken up after reign in blood the world would be a better place

slayer's music decreased in quality far more than metallica's ever did

 

[Zephyrus]

Swedish BM is better than Norwegian BM.

Disagree, but I can accept an argument for such, especially in terms of longevity.

I love his voice on Show No Mercy.

Ditto.

After South of Heaven, you mean.

It was the first Slayer song I had ever heard. I was probably 13 when I first saw it on Headbanger's Ball and I just couldn't believe it. I wasn't much into metal back then outside of Metallica and Iron Maiden so when I hear the what was then evil sounding music combined with that then eerie video I was like "Whoa, shit."

you clowns amaze me... the first five slayer albums are fucking genius... even divine intervention is good

dahwt

 

[rms]

after much time, I can really only enjoy Show No mercy. Got old I guess

 

[no country for old wainds]

seasons and everything which follows is what i like to call 'blinept' which is a combination of bland and inept

First two are great, after that they really don't mean much to me.

 

[Killbot]

I'm gonna give a werd to that.

 

[no country for old wainds]

people who like 'seasons' aren't half as annoying as people who don't like 'reign in blood' anyway

now then, what's everyone's favourite song on show no mercy

 

[The Ozzman]

Divine Intervention is okay. I still think Slayer should have stopped recording after Seasons though

trick question? It's either Black magic(best slayer riff? I think so) or Die by the Sword. personally, black magic its amazing

 

[cookiecutter]

i think as a whole i like 'show no mercy' slightly more than 'bonded by blood', but it doesn't come close to that album's peaks

My thoughts exactly. I disagree with you about Seasons though. There a couple filler songs no doubt but I think War Ensemble, Dead Skin Mask and the title track save it.

Black Magic barely edges out Crionics

 

[no country for old wainds]

mine was 'die by the sword' for fucking ages, then it became 'black magic' for even longer, now it's 'die by the sword' again

 

[chuj666]

Slayer-Early days- you have to admit they did look glammy
