This song is about serial killer Ed Gein who was the inspiration for The Texas chainsaw massacre's "Leatherface" That's what "Dead skin mask" means.

This song, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hannibal and Buffalo Bill of The Silence Of The Lambs.

RIP Jeff Hanneman, guitarist for Slayer until 2012/2013. His passing in 2013 at just 49 years old was and remains a huge loss for guitarists and metal lovers all over the world! Thank you for shining a light on one of metals brightest!

Hi Aileen, please consider reacting to the two Slayer songs “South of Heaven” & “Silent Scream” played together back-to-back (these songs bleed into each other). This is the next phase of your Slayer evolution.

[@seanmurphy637]

Agreed. South of Heaven is my favorite Slayer Album. Anything from it is excellent but the above suggestion will be fantastic.

[@slaytanic777]

Slayer was my first concert the south of heaven tour. 🤘 Been a fan ever since

[@scottryan934]

I agree. on those 2 songs as well. I wouldn't mind a reaction to "Ghosts of War" as well which is also on "South of Heaven" which IMO is their best album because it is their most diverse album.

[@nikjohnson9944]

This whole ALBUM IS A BANGER... DO NOT SKIP THIS ALBUM...it's a "slower"SLAYER album...it will NOT disappoint....!!!

[@Levi_dboys1977]

There is a video of the drummer, Dave Lombardo, playing a killer song "War Ensemble." Makes you appreciate the guy who is not out front. War Ensemble is an awesome song in itself.

I used to listen to this CD like four hours a day when I was 16 or something-never stopped listening to it.

[@eyespyyourspy1328]

Seasons in the Abyss is a must. Arguably their most melodic and technical songs. Masterpiece

[@bleggett29]

I can say this is the only song that freaked me out on first listen. I was 17 years old in 1990. I had just bought this album on cassette. I got home and popped it into my walkman. Laid down listening to it. I was partially asleep when dead skin mask came on. I was jolted fully awake when the child/female voice screamed "let me out now!" I will never forget that experience. To this day, Seasons in the Abyss is my favorite album - followed by Megadeth - Rust in Peace, Metallica - Master of Puppets, Sepultura - Chaos AD, and Anthrax - Persistence of Time.

[@jimmyjennings5343]

Same. I got totally baked after school when I first picked this up and went in my room and popped it in my Walkman.. I kept walking out into the living room high as hell thinking my mom was yelling for me haha. We're about the same age. I was 16 in 1990 when this came out

[@Wakko92]

Yup, had the CD and was cranked up on my stereo and was half asleep and freaked out and hit pause to go look downstairs.

The song is about Ed Gein. I’ve seen Slayer live about 20 times and are the best live band I’ve seen! Pantera a close second!

[@PeterMasi_Son_Tile]

@Joe dirty71 I seen them back in the 90’s all original members, Araya, Hanneman, King & Lombardo. I’m guessing when you saw them the only original members were Araya & King? Ya I can’t say how they were in later years but back in the 90’s they were killing it!

[@jacobmartinez7545]

[@myrael1313]

Dead Skin mask and War ensemble are my favorite Slayer songs.

Nobody agrees with me but "Expendable Youth" is one of my favorites. The full 16 minute album "Haunting the Chapel" is another. One song in particular from that album, "Chemical Warfare", is in my top 5 all time SLAYER songs. Nobody agrees with me though.

that back ground voice.. I was driving somewhere once upon a time. I'd never heard it before, and I thought somebody was in the back seat of my truck. Almost caused me to wreck. Felt like a total goof ball once i realized it was in the music.

[@Nicholas_Burmeister]

Great review of one of my favorite 'horror metal' songs. It bears re-listening to from time to time, you notice a lot of detail in this one on every relisten.

[@mariovrandecic5690]

Aileen, what I can say? You dig Slayer completely! Try 'Seasons in the Abyss' from this album (their fifth album), or 'South of heaven' from their fourth album. In this 'South of heaven' album, which came right after Reign in blood, they decided to slow down the tempo - Reign in blood was superfast, 10 songs in 29 minutes :)... Their drummer, Dave Lombardo, who left a band several times, after slayer (among many other bands) played in Fantomas, an out-of-this-world superband made of Mike Patton from Faith no more, Buzz from Melvins and Trevor from Mr. Bungle... You will not hear anything more sick than FANTOMAS, believe me! Try their's 'The Godfather'...

[@arvindshastry1178]

Dave also played with Testament, he recorded drums on their Gathering album which is an amazing album. And in March 2022, Dave rejoined Testament.

[@johndidorek6995]

Check out Disciple. It's off the God Hates Us All album which was released on September 11, 2001.

Check out Slayer’s song Gemini (about the Zodiac serial Killer)….one of their slower (but INTENSE) songs that keeps building up more and more until an almost frantic finish!! A song they rarely played live until the last leg of their farewell tour, but we all went nuts when they started playing it!! Amazing drums throughout!

[@Chris-lz1fs]

Yeah, the whole satanic thing with Slayer and various other bands baffled me for years. For me, I get it. The artwork, upside down crosses, pentagrams, songs about serial killers, Nazi doctors, war, death etc... it's all part of the bigger picture that shows us all the evils in our world, both in the past and today. That's what the real message is, not that we're evil, we're satanic or whatever else.

I used to listen to this on vinyl, with headphones on, thinking that voice at the end, in the background was my sister, calling out to her cat!

The song ended at ❤️69. NICE. Also this is my favorite Slayer track. It was the final song Slayer played when I went to their final tour and I was PUMPED.

[@vovindequasahi]

This song is a BEAST! Thanks for another great reaction, you awesome metal babe! One really creepy bit about this song is that the girl is begging to "Mr Gein" right, as in Ed Gein the serial killer? However when you listen to it, she might as well be begging to "Mr. King" ie Kerry King, the guitarist of the band. When all is said and done, I find it funny that people get their butts in a twist about music lyrics being horrific, but not about movies depicting the same things. It is as if it comes closer to reality with music than with movies, especially if the band playing the music has this stage persona to fit the lyrics.. When in essence this is just horror depicted through music rather than film. It just shows what great actors the members of the band is to make their take on horror more realistic than horror movies.

[@paulgoodwin3642]

That parting note goes straight through you like a knife.

Through the years it became clearer and clearer that Lombardo was the drumming heart of the band. He's really unmatched at what he does and I can instantly recognize his style and sound, no matter where he plays: Testament, Grip Inc, Philm (highly recommending you to give an ear to the last two) - you name it. The last album with him "World Painted Blood" is a clinic and by far my favorite in the newest Slayer era - the title track, "Hate Worldwide", "Americon" - you name it.

Aileen - have you heard Anthrax yet? They are just as legendary as Slayer and were NYC hardcore thrash guys. Influential in their own right in the genre at the time. Slayer is my favorite thrash band, but Anthrax is a close second. Metallica and Megadeth stole the spotlight and left these gems grinding away less noticed. Fistful of Metal and Spreading the Disease were their first 2 albums - really captured the raw thrashcore sound. Among the Living was really their refined sound - check out Caught in a Mosh, Efilnickufesin (N.F.L.), or Indians for a great intro!!!

Love the subject matter. A great creepy feel. The musicianship is top notch as always. -I think this,South of Heaven, and Divine Intervention was their best period.
