I personally think Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood are tehir two best efforts, although do think reign is a bit over rated, i think Kerrang called it the no. 1 thrash metal albumn of all time, pretty big call.
What about "Divine Intervention" released in 1994? The opening track "Killing Fields" is great!
Fav though is South of Heaven. First Slayer album I really liked as a kid. I'm sure everyones heard the Children of Bodom remake of "Silent Scream"?? Right?? If not, it's great also.
Ya know, I really don't like "Divine Intervention" as a whole release for crap, but "Dittohead" is one of those songs I can't listen to loud or I'll just start breaking shit !! I don't know what the lyrics say and the song is short as hell, but THAT is one aggressive piece !!
HELL AWAITS...SOUTH OF HEAVEN 2nd...i remember my buddy playing the intro to HELL AWAITS backwards on his turntable when we were messed up.join us....join us....join us......HAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!!
seasons in the abyss.it s a mixture of fast and mid-tempo songs and every song is a classic.skeletons of society-dead skin mask-seasons in the abyss-war ensemble....this album is a masterpiece like south of heaven and reign in blood.
