🎵 SLAYER "DEAD SKIN MASK" REACTION

[@PriestessOfNothing]

Can we just talk about how Lex called this song "beautiful"? She's officially one of us lol And she tried to mosh with Brad on the couch, get this girl to a concert, like, yesterday. Love it! My favorite Slayer song, and that whole album is amazing.

[@jasonsmith9147]

As I watched this reaction I thought the same thing. She really needs to get into the pit at a show. I know a few weeks back they mentioned wanting to go. It might have even been a Slayer reaction vid. But the more I see her rock out, the more I know she needs to feel it in person. Metal can be enjoyed recorded but it's never really felt until you go to the shows and feel the energy in person.

[@4foxsake89]

"one of us, one of us. one of us"!!! love little Lex!!

[@PriestessOfNothing]

Dave is so good. Certainly in the conversation for best metal drummer and is my personal favorite.

Not some of Dave's most intricate work but great work, nonetheless. All Dave's drum work was excellent. #2 on my all-time favorite drummers list.

If I'm having a bad day all I need is to see lex going off digging a metal song.

[@fistfulmetal]

The whole album this song comes from is a masterpiece. I definitely need to see you react to the self titled song Seasons In The Abyss. Lex is going to go crazy when she hears the guitar solos and drumming in that song.

Seasons IN the abyss

[@UrbanTaxi99]

As was South of Heaven before it too, a master piece of an album that its.

[@eyespyyourspy1328]

Seasons in the Abyss is by far my favorite song on imo their best album. Hearing it played on 2 acoustic guitars is gorgeously disgusting sounding. Damn my brain as I can't think of who did that cover but they typically play Latin style guitars. They did like 4 metal cover and Seasons was one of them. The solo is amazing and absolutely grotesque. I gotta drop the link in a second. Too bad ass not to share. Maybe Brad and Lex will react to it.

[@inklanois]

We saw one of their last shows in Louisville. After the show, Tom walked from one side of the stage to the other, just watching the crowd and thanking the fans for so many years of devotion. When they came to our side (we were about 5 rows back) Tom noticed us waving. Kerry King came over, and Tom pointed right at us. Kerry flicked his pick, and (I SWEAR) the thing cut through the air on a beeline, right through my girlfriend's hands to land right in her bag/purse. It was awesome. So, we got a Kerry King pick. I just love Tom. He's so cool. You have to watch some interviews with him. You will love them more.

[@inklanois]

@@davidfuhr5455 That's what I was thinking. Dude can probably hit a bullseye from 20 yards LOL

[@korndogz69]

This song is about the serial killer, Ed Gein. The opening riff is also a rearranged version of the opening riff from their song, "South of Heaven".

[@korndogz69]

Also, LOL at Lex moshing on Brad! 3:40

[@muttenmagroo]

When I first started to lean to play reign in blood my fingers kept wanting to play south of heaven, then accidentally discovered its also dead skin mask. So all 3 songs are just rearranged versions of the same notes.

[@CJReaper666]

I think Lex was a Metal Head in a previous life, that's why she takes to Metal like a Fish to water, I love it!!

[@thefnaffan2]

She's a metal head now... Lol .. 🤘 keep thrashing

Slayer's dual guitars of Kerry King & Jeff Hanneman (R.I.P.) was an integral part of the Slsyer sound... those 2 contrasting playing styles that blended together was inspired by Judas Priest...

[@allex_p]

Over 40 and still banging my head over this huge tune! What a masterpiece (the whole album, actually)! 2nd best after Reign In Blood…

[@kevlarV2rocketRSV]

You are a lucky man, Brad. She finds the guitar work of Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman (RIP) "beautiful". And her monk chant is guitar feedback, in reference to your reaction to "Wasted Years" by Iron Maiden. She is unique and fun for us all to watch. Is she always like this?

[@jamescoleman8954]

Did one of my absolute favorite songs. Hell yeah.

[@vicjr74]

Great reaction. This song is based on a real life serial killer Ed Gein. He inspired the movies texas chainsaw massacre, silence of the lambs and phyco.

[@randywissler9923]

Loved how lex was so digging it!!! Silent Scream should be next, but I don't know if their ready for that one. 😂

[@zachd.8725]

Only one way to find out. Give it a try you two.

[@agitator1310]

Lex your such a metal head girl 😎. Welcome to the club girl.

[@chairmanofthebored6860]

I saw three shows on their final tour due to pure luck. Saw them at home in Dallas, caught them in St. Louis and saw them in Boston on a business trip. As a longtime fan, their live show was always the best.

[@davidmeir9348]

My favorite from that album (Seasons in the Abyss), is War Ensemble, but this is a slower and creepier song, also great. After Reign in Blood, that might be one of their best album. The song is about serial killer and depraved psycho, Ed Gein who would dig up bodies and make house appliances from bones and skin, as well as a human mask and woman suit made of skin. He had, shall we say, an unhealty relationship with his mom. Ed Gein would inspire Norman Bates in Psycho Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs.

[@Kratos40595]

Slayer : like watching a horror movie in audio form lol

[@screamingscarecrow4251]

Tom Araya once said that he is the Stephen King of metal, well was.

[@Evl_1]

You have to remember SLAYER is all about history. The History that school forgot to teach. lol The Solo's for SLAYER are not to be flashy. They are designed to be chaotic like the bands riffs.

[@Nekrovelho]

Right? It had such an effect hearing it on earphones the first time! A shitty walkman and worn cassette, but that just enhanced the effect.

[@beatmet2355]

I bet it’s Tom’s voice sped up

[@southbayspike]

If you both are doing “themed” songs for Halloween, y’all are missing out on an addition that you must not miss! GWAR GWAR GWAR GWAR!!!!! They are the ultimate in theatrical metal. You would have to watch one of their videos to know what I mean by that. GWAR has a long history of mythos that dates all the way back to the 80’s The gist is, they are aliens. Part of a legion of space warriors called the Scumdogs of the Universe. Their live shows are exactly that…. A show! There is a storyline and characters throughout. Every tour has a new story backed by the latest album. What makes it even more impressive is, they wear elaborate costumes which they design and make themselves(unlike, say, Slipknot). They also have movies, comic books, and a board game. Here are a few tracks for you to choose from. Bring Back the Bomb Immortal Corruptor Zombies March One thing to remember when listening to GWAR, everything is approached with a sense of humor. They definitely DO NOT take themselves seriously.

[@eyezwithoutaface5255]

[@kevink315]

I cant believe this is their first time listening to this considering how much Lex is into it 🤘

[@voodoocustompickups2547]

"This song is about a man named Ed... who use to dance with the dead..." Tom Araya

[@Nekrovelho]

Dead Skin Mask is pretty much a perfect pick for Halloween, classic track off a classic album. One of the songs that made the biggest impression back when I first heard this in '91. Seconding (thirding? fourthing? whatever!) the recommendation to check out the title track, but you can't really go wrong with anything off this album! A personal favorite no-one ever talks about is Temptation, the double vocals are neat.

[@coachjc8841]

Sorry Soulbearer… it was a guy in the studio that came in and was saying that as a joke and the band decided to use it on the song.
