My name is Kaiya! I'm in my mid 20's and I've been a singer songwriter and performer for over 10 years. Currently I'm in 3 bands and gigging around in Asheville, NC where I live. I have 2 dogs, a Bloodhound named Spooner, a Norwegian Elkhound named Kodah and 3 pet rats, Havarti, Dumbletan, and TimTam. I love mexican food, Stephen King, collecting CD's and cassettes and my favorite movies are tied with Jurrassic Park and Alien.

I don't always dance with the dead in my dreams, but when I do, I listen to their hallowed screams.

[@Concatenate]

You should always do it, but then again it gets annoying after a while. The dead don't dance very well and you get all tired. And then the screaming kind of gets on your nerves.

I was into Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax already. Slayer was the “scary” and “Satanic" band. The most bad ass kids in school, the ones with the creepy sunken eyes, were the ones with the Slayer t-shirts. Then I started listening to Monday Night Mayhem, on WSOU, the radio station of Seton Hall University in NJ. They played the craziest thrash and early black metal bands. I’d be in bed at 1AM, with my crappy headphones attached to my crappier red Radio Shack boombox, getting chills from listening to insane Slayer riffs. The rest of my life has been spent screaming SLAYER!!!!! at my frieneds from across busy streets.

Lombardo's playing on Reign in Blood, south of heaven and Seasons in the Abyss is the perfect drumming trifecta. So creative, technical, precise, atmospheric...funky? Every metal/hard music drummer's goal in life.

IMO Dave Lombardo, is the best metal drummer of the history. Brutal, technical, perfect...250 bpm, what else? ❤️

Wait until you hear Sepultura's "Beneath the Remains" and "Arise" full albums. Matter of fact, just react to Sepultura "Live in Barcelona '91." No offense to any other thrash bands but Sepultura in those days were untouchable.

The first time I ever got the chills in my life was at a Slayer show, when they started their gig with "South of Heaven." I was 14 years old. Slayer opened for Judas Priest. It was their "Ram it Down" tour, 1988.

[@gregoryhuffman3071]

I've seen Slayer several times across a 25 year period. Always amazing, always brutal... Basically if you have survived the Slayer pit, you are officially an "S" tier metalhead. I taught myself how to play metal drums because Dave Lombardo is my personal Jesus.

The late Lawrence Carroll created the cover art for Slayer's Reign In Blood, South Of Heaven, Seasons In The Abyss and Christ Illusion. His work has been shown in museums across the world, including New York’s Guggenheim, the Contemporary And Modern Art Museum of Trento and Roverando and Stuttgart City Gallery.

[@christophermiller670]

I'm 50yrs old, I've been to 37 Slayer concerts, across 26 states, and 3 different countries. I witnessed(and felt), the Raining(stage) Blood, caught(or found on the floor) 19 guitar picks(Jeff, Kerry, Tom), caught 2 drum stick(1 Dave, 1 Paul). I even trash dug a faulty mic cord that Tom threw away backstage. I still own the concert t-shirt that my cousin bought me, at my first slayer show(I was 11 years old). I have countless other concert T's, jacket patches, and even multiple inlay cards for cassette tapes. I couldn't bring myself to throw them away, when I, bought a new album, because the old one wore out. Multiple Slayer tattoos are all over my body. I even got to meet them, and BS with them(pre-Bostaph) multiple times. Or at least what a fan would consider "BS-ing"with their favorite band of all time. Every single time I hear Slayer… I still get wicked excited, and feel just as motivated by their music, as I did the first time I heard them. Hell... I even learned to play drums, because I considered Dave Lombardo the God Of Thunder, and I wanted nothing more than to be just like him(no offense to Paul Bostaph). 🤘💀🤘

[@UsuckMine]

Ty for not meaning to disrupt the emotion joining SoH and silent scream, your the first reactor to make this attempt, that I have found,, very much appreciated and a shout out to the other fans that pointed this out to you, its so relieving, although it did just make me want to hear the album/cd/tape/record in its entirety... but thank you again anyways...

[@zZSleepytimeZz]

I saw SLAYER live in 2010 at Sonisphere in Finland and got an entirely different respect for them than I had before that concert, old men still playing like they were 20! Also when they came on stage the sky turned gray and Arya cracked a joke that this always happens at their gigs, then when they started Raining blood it started raining sideways and storming so heavily that some of the restaurant tents fell apart. That moment is ingrained in my head as one of the most memorable things in my life, and made Slayer one of my favorite bands of all time!

[@scyphe]

Yeah, I've seen them 3-4 times over the last ~15+ years and they never seemed to lack any energy on stage whatsoever. As intense as ever.

[@markokuha7128]

I was there too. Fortunately they just got to play their whole set to the end before the damn storm really hit and almost all the rest shows of the evening had to be cancelled due to it. I remember hearing the loud thunder thru Slayer's playing and thinking if it was an actual thunder or was it some backing track. During the show I concluded it had to be the latter, but eventually stood corrected in the middle of the fucking field with 2 of my friends barely able to breath in strongest storm-wind I've ever seen before or since 😂

[@bullfidde]

You can hear the influences from Venom and Motörhead in Slayer. My favourite record by Slayer is seasons in the abyss, not a weak song on that one .🤘

[@Daniel-kx6zh]

Kings of metal. Period.

[@natemottor8462]

Good call to include Show No Mercy. Arguably their best album. Tom's voice was at its best back then.

[@adamnichol4526]

Just stumbled across this, great reaction. Odd that no one recommended tracks off Show No Mercy, but imo Antichrist and Die By The Sword are top choices. Chrionics is a different flavour too. For me, Decade of Aggression (live album) is out of this world...grab yourself a listen on cd or whatever streaming platform: not a skip worthy track there

[@Sharky762]

Let's not overwhelm her. But yes Decade Of Agression is most likely the best Live Slayer album ever. I'm 47 and Decade of Agression had been in my playlist since I first heard it back when it was released. Just listened to it earlier today when driving to the carwash

[@DominusLuna]

Yes. The Anti-Christ. Flew into many a drunken rage under the influence of this song. Well, Peace Sells also. Same time period, same long mind-trip.

i've seen slayer a few times in concert and every single time i went there always felt like some kind of bond going on from us fans who grew up listening to them. My cousin hated them for the longest time but after i took him to one of their shows he was very impressed on how well they were in concert. It was one of the best concerts i've ever been to.

[@shagdog6669]

First time I saw them live was in 1991 in Detroit, I was 20 years old, had no prior experience of slayer live, the lights went out and hell awaits comes on, and I hear I thunder storm behind me, I turn around to look at what the noise was and I was knocked down from people storming the stage, i stand up, oh fuck I'm in the middle of a mosh pit, I was like hell yeah let's do this......it was awesome.

[@dogmandarby]

You're one of the prettiest reviewers I've seen so far

[@Kim_Darkman]

First Slayer records I got into was Divine Intervention, shortly after it was released. I had found raw sounding music few years earlier in hardcore punk and then thrash metal. Sepultura and Slayer was my introduction to metal music in general. I like most of Slayer records but I would say that my fav is Divine Intervention and South of Heaven. I wish we see Slayer Part II. There is a lot of insane tunes left to hear in their catalog after Seasons in the Abyss. \m/

Glad you are diggin SLAYER ! To me, they have always been the big "1". NO pretense, no b.s., in your face aggression at it's best. They influenced and directed the course of metal more than maybe any band in history, other possible challengers would be motorhead and well, that's about it. The panning between guitar solos as you put it, is the two different guitarist in the band playing solos. I've seen SLAYER play live many many times and am sure that they are the greatest live band ever. The interaction between the band and the crowd and just the intense feeling and aggression in the crowd is unmatched. Long live SLAYER AND RIP JEFF........

Being old school and seeing slayer from 84 on . No one has a more violent pit ever.bone spurs in my neck to prove it .after wat at the warfeild I knew I was getting old so I trained for 4 months to see them again .to this day no matter how best up and broken I am I'll be in the pit for Fucking SLAYER.

To take away the spooky intrigue of Slayer, the band were a bunch of D&D nerds that binged the film Dragon Slayer (1981). The band got their name from that film. Saw them several times during college days. Good, clean fun.

Yes, that is the beauty of that song. I don't know why but Slayer give me chills when I lessen to them and you lessening to if for the first time. Saw them first time at the Felt Forum back in 1988. It was one of the sickest concerts I ever saw. Three mosh pits and tour up the seats. Just Crazy.

[@halosandheroes]

Reign in blood for part 2, I also recommend war ensemble, dittohead. Their "nu metal" foray was hit or miss, but overall their 40+ years of music was highly impressive!

[@mikebarnett3758]

A Slayer concert will be the most amazing experience you will have in your life guaranteed

[@crackersnowbunny498]

I saw Slayer live twice. Clearly they blew away any other live experiences from any other band. For me Slayer is the ultimate. Absolutely untouchable. I discovered them in 85 when I was in high school. To say me and my friends were indulging in a lot of substances would be putting it lightly. We would drive around constantly blaring from my parents car bands like Suicidal Tendencies, Exodus, Venom, Possessed, Death Angel but the most played and most revered was Slayer Hell Awaits from beginning to end daily. The first two songs on Hell Awaits are still my favorite things ever and you should go delve into those immediately!

[@Carbonnothingbutcarbon]

It's funny how you mention being 16 at the time when REIGN IN BLOOD came out. It came out one week after my 17th birthday, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it completely blew my head off. There was nothing else like it, and to be perfectly honest there are only a handful of albums in this genre from that period that have held up as well. I never, ever thought I would be listening to it for the rest of my life but I just turned 53 and I listened to it yesterday. Thank you for this reaction and passing along the music.

[@jeroenkoster1366]

Great choice of songs, and glad you like Slayer, wasn't sure you would because it's not for everyone. It would be worth your time if you did a whole album reaction for Hell Awaits, with all songs in the original recording version. It's my favorite Slayer album, and it sounds more dark and evil then many black metal bands that came after it, while Slayer isn't even a black metal band of course. I don't think you can match this 1985 production anymore with all this digital equipment they use today. Anyway, thanks for your video's, I really like them!

[@jasoncordial4730]

I've seen slayer 4. They are amazing every single time. It will blow your head off.

[@morbid333]

Picking their debut isn't a mistake, that's a good one, it's just different from most of their catalogue, they really formalised their sound on Reign in Blood. I think it also influenced early black metal bands, as well as death metal. I don't think the title track is necessarily the best song on there though, I'd say Antichrist, Black Magic, Live by the Sword and Metal Storm/Face the Slayer are the highlights. Chemical Warfare is another good early one. Oh, and speaking of release dates, they did push out a lot of content early on. Show No Mercy in 1983, Haunting the Chapel and Live Undead in 1984, Hell Awaits in 1985, and Reign in Blood in 1986. Then they slowed down a bit, both musically and with their releases. As for swearing in music, it wasn't super common, but I wouldn't say it never happened. John Lennon dropped a couple of f-bombs in Working Class Hero in 1970. As for the Big Four, I think Dave might have sworn in Megadeth's cover of These Boots, but the version of their first album that included that song got pulled and the rerelease had all the lyrics bleeped out, I'm not sure exactly what he said. I think Metallica has done it a few times: on Damage Inc, their cover of So What, and The Unnamed Feeling, but Slayer definitely did it the most.

I was into punk and thrash before, but hearing Slayer's SOUTH OF HEAVEN in 1988 (junior high school) rocked my world. That transition into Silent Scream!!!! Those drums!!!! Seen them live many times. I'm actually in a crowd photo in their live album DECADE OF AGGRESSION which was recorded during the "Clash of the Titans" tour in 1991, in Lakeland Florida (touring with Anthrax and Megadeth). Love them and love seeing people react to them. My BIG 5 (for thrash) would be Slayer, D.R.I., Sepultura, Pantera, and Vio-Lence. D.R.I.'s 1988 album FOUR OF A KIND also shook me.

When this came out, I learned to play the album on guitar in about a week. I was already playing mostly Metallica and Anthrax and could play all of the first 3 Metallica albums. This album was brutal to learn and play. Talk about feeling like your forearm is on fire…Even though I was used to extended duration fast riffs, this album just ramped it up to another level. It literally hurt to play until I built the stamina up to be able to play it start to finish without having to pause in the middle of songs.

Slayer's drummer Dave Lombardo has been the Misfits (Danzig etc) drummer for all their reunion shows. Which he slays. But Slayer's drum parts are more more varied and overall complicated than Misfits drummers.

If you like slayer it’s worth checking out a band from the UK called Venom they are also very cool and created black metal.
