FIRST TIME listening to SLAYER - "Seasons In The Abyss" (Official Video) REACTION

[@FreezeTheWarning]

Dave Lombardo's drum fills are a delight

[@KenMagee]

Damn right. Makes Lars look like he's playing for Fisher-Price.

[@metalmark1214]

Glad he's now with Testament.

[@JayTyrus]

YES, I love what he started on SOH album and excelled on this album with his excess of the symbols during the verses. Such as this track, SOH, Mandatory Suicide, Dead skin mask, skeletons of society & expendable Youth.

[@johnnagel3853]

Dave is by far my favorite drummer

[@murk4552]

@@KenMagee yeah whatever. Lars still had killer fills for Metallica's 1st decade as legends, lmao at "Fisher Price", like Ulrich didn't have crazy or out of pocket fills during his prime.

[@Azaroth1329]

Listen to "Angel of Death" next if you want aggression and cool transitions both in the same song. Use a lyric video for that one.

[@TokusatsuGamingfan]

You definitely need to listen to "Angel of Death", Raining Blood" and "War Ensemble" if you want pure aggression from Slayer. You will also definitely need the lyric videos for those songs.

[@benholton2222]

You mean Raining Blood

[@TokusatsuGamingfan]

@@benholton2222 Yeah, that's what I meant.

[@mixedcryptoarts3579]

War Ensemble probably my favorite song of theirs.

[@forumquorum8156]

have to add die by the sword, evil has no boundaries, and black magic

[@BPRIM3]

Definitely “Angel of Death”.

[@randycomerford2038]

You definitely need to listen to their song "Angel of Death", cause it's their quintessential song!!

[@stuartlockhart7204]

Their all time high was the album Reign In Blood. If your wanting aggressive Slayer I highly recommend that album. 30 minutes of sheer aggression 😹😹🤘👹🤘 Also awesome review of a great song ❤

[@robthomas2655]

agreed show no mercy is angry af as well lol mad love fam

[@nokindred]

Hard disagree. Their best work was probably South of Heaven. Less aggressive than Reign, absolutely, but wall to wall straight bangers on the whole album.

[@Evl_1]

I remember buying this cassette when it came out. If you listened to Jesus Saves and turn the tape over Jesus Saves started again. I miss those days lol. At Dawn They Sleep is my all time favorite song by Slayer but Reign is my favorite album.

[@MC_505]

Dave Lombardo is the best old school drummer I've ever heard, besides being a master of the double bass drum, I'd say he's an old school pioneer. Inspiration of many, that speed was not heard from anyone else in the 80's.

[@spraga79]

Mr.Bungle

[@JayTyrus]

To answer your question....most brutal/aggressive Slayer tune goes back to their 2nd album's title track "Hell Awaits" with a pretty cool creepy intro before all hell breaks loose at the 3 minute mark!!! You also can't go wrong with Angel of Death, Praise of Death, Jesus Saves, or Chemical Warfare!!!

[@arnoldcox9128]

This is one of those songs that metal heads always come back to, all time classic

[@nokindred]

It's not their most aggressive track, but you should really check out Mandatory Suicide off the South of Heaven album. It's one of their most slept on and best tracks at the same time. If you want dark lyrics, you'll love it. Plus musically the track is off the rails good.

[@runetollefsen7458]

Check out Judas Priest`s original version.

[@michaelbaldwin8484]

Oh absolutely "Mandatory Suicide". Thank you for suggesting it. I can't believe I forgot it

You can check out: "Angel of Death", "War Ensemble", "The Antichrist", "Die By The Sword", "Tormentor", "Piece by Piece", "Hell Awaits", "Kill Again", "Mandatory Su!c!de", "Silent Scream" all kick a**. Back in the 1980's bands like Slayer, Possessed, Venom, Mercyful Fate, Hellhammer, Bathory and Celtic Frost influenced the evolution of Thrash Metal into more extreme territories and most important the born of Death Metal and Black Metal, the most extreme kinds of music at that time.

[@RobertLeija]

For something gothic/dark, "Dead Skin Mask" for aggression "Angel Of Death". For the Seasons In the Abyss album they slowed down a "bit" and got really gothic, which I love, It's one of my favorite albums of that time. The majority of Slayers music is aggressive, fast & dark, this is yet another side of "Thrash Metal" in all it's insanity. Slayer is a part of the "Big 4" along with Megadeth, Metallica & Anthrax, there were many more bands that were active & coming up but these guys were at the top & fan favorites for similar but different reasons, enjoy. 🤟🤟🤟🤟 👍💀👍

[@remadeinjersey4860]

Reign in Blood the whole album !!!

[@tomtomthebear]

This whole album for me is slayers masterpiece..!!! The Atmosphere and groove are just fucking killer

[@tonydowning8808]

listening to one track of seasons in the abyss does the album no justice. this is an album you should listen to from beginning to end. Kerry King was quoted as saying "seasons in the abyss is the best album they've made. " I happen to agree. however all Slayer is worth listening to!!! FUCKING SLAYER!!!

[@ClaytonMacleod]

Not aggressive enough for you when the subject is Slayer is a very easy problem to solve. 😂 This song you just listened to is one of the “Let’s ease them into it first so we don’t scare them away.” songs. Haha. The entire Reign In Blood album is required listening, starting with the first track, Angel Of Death. I’d suggest a lyric video for your first listen so you actually hear the majesty of the studio recording. Live versions are great if you’ve already heard the song, but I feel the first listen should be the studio version. Since there is no official video a lyric video is the next best thing.

[@thedominator87]

lmao "lets ease them into it" with seasons in the abyss" is a great way to describe first time listeners to slayer lol

[@metalmark1214]

Song has a cool galloping riff and the guitar solo, like many Slayer solos, like two cats fighting in a bag. Next Slayer songs I I'd recommend - Postmortem, War Ensemble, Angel of Death, Raining Blood. Most aggressive song is probably War Ensemble or Angel of Death

[@Samdfukiam]

A SLAYER solo sounds like my trip through hell might sound

[@user-kf1jy9wu8n]

These four people combined to form thrash metal GENIUS. If you can separate all the musical parts, it's UNMATCHED. Add the macabre titles that they talk about and they were WAY ahead of all the other bands that came out at the same time. 99% of their songs are AWESOME. Spill the Blood is way overlooked and a great song of where melody meets metal.

[@SergePoitras-hj4ip]

Personally I find the music calms my incompréhension of the simple folks

[@acemodez3169]

Yeah this is basically their ballad

[@John-mm3dc]

I played this song for my 10th grade talent show and we nailed it. Nobody stood a chance against us. We had to shorten it to fit in with the show but we could've played all day and they wouldn't have cared. After it was over there were students and even teachers coming up on the stage. \m/

[@johnlittle4856]

You need to hear "Angel of Death" and or "Raining Blood " for real Slayer. Their best song is "South of Heaven ". Best drum song ever, " Gemini"

[@stevenhenry5267]

This is real Slayer.

[@t_bone12571]

"Seasons In The Abyss" is a great album, from "War Ensemble" all the way to the title track at the end; "Born Of Fire" is the song before "Seasons" & it's nuts, "Hallowed Point" and "Spirit In Black" go off too. There's a bunch of uptempo tunes by Slayer, especially the older stuff.

[@travisfoster1071]

Uptempo? More like "destroy everything tempo".

[@jesspayant1667]

"Seasons in the Abyss" was my first true Slayer experience. I remember hearing their album South of Heaven but wasn't ready for Slayer yet. I personally think the Seasons in the Abyss album is one of the greatest metal albums ever. A near perfect metal experience. This is also a good warm up for the true deep dive of Reign in Blood.

[@jasonmarquis7586]

Yeah, I’m coming into the conversation late but I gotta recommend another thrash band - D.B.C. (Dead Brain Cells) - ‘Deadlock.’ They’re obscure but their first album was fire.

[@SuperStrik9]

Seasons In The Abyss is a great song and the music video is fantastic as well imo. The entire Seasons In The Abyss album is awesome and a must own for any fan of metal, especially thrash metal.

[@matthewgrady3423]

-This is actually my favorite album from them with this my favorite song. You picked a nice place for new listeners who might not be into metal to get into them along with South of Heaven and Divine Intervention, the album before and after this album. They’re more heavy and less thrash, which might not be someone’s thing initially. - As I stated in the “Damage Inc” reaction, the look on your face during the intro makes me think “Hell Awaits” should be on the list. -I’m sure you’ve seen a lot the same tracks(“Angel of Death”, “Raining Blood”, “War Ensemble”). Your comments about the dual solos here make me think “Dittohead” would be a good one.

[@sumonjamal1653]

What set Slayer apart from the thrash metal scene in the 80's was their affinity for hardcore punk rock fused w/ the proficiency of Judas Priest and the aggression of Venom (the band). Slayer was formed by teenagers in Huntington Beach, California in 1981. Kerry King (guitar) met Jeff Hanneman (guitar) and Dave Lombardo (drums) in the neighborhood and got together to play heavy metal music. Tom Araya (vocals & bass) had played w/ King in a prior project and joined Slayer... In 1982, they met Metallica in the L.A. scene and became huge fans. Around that time, Jeff Hanneman also got into S. California punk rock music and wanted to play w/ the same speed & aggression of those punk bands, and Dave Lombardo would speed up the tempos of Slayer's music to a frantic pace. Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman wrote all the original music and Tom Araya would contribute some lyrics. Metal Blade Records founder Brian Slagel discovered Slayer, but lacked the finances to help them make a record. In 1983, Slayer pooled money together to record their first album 'Show no mercy' which was released late in the year by Metal Blade... they emulated Venom's image early on, but after playing w/ Exodus in San Francisco in 1984, they decided to ditch the ghoulish makeup. Despite releasing 2 EP's ('Haunting the chapel' and 'Live undead') and their 1985 album 'Hell awaits', Slayer was still struggling to find an audience... Kerry King played guitar in Megadeth's first shows in 1984. In 1986, hip hop producer Rick Rubin wanted to sign Slayer to his Def Jam label and got the band in the studio to reinvent their sound... What emerged was the iconic album 'Reign in blood' in 1986 that set a high mark in speed metal drumming and controversial lyrics about real-life horrors... Rubin and Slayer crafted 2 more albums that defined Slayer's career after 'Reign in blood'... 'South of Heaven' (1988) and 'Seasons in the Abyss' (1990)... Slayer's albums went gold (half million copies sold) in the US, and their fanbase in concert were beyond extreme and reputed to cause serious damages (even to themselves). However, the success of Slayer was soon undercut by obstacles... Dave Lombardo was increasingly frustrated in the band, and he was fired in 1992 after taking a leave of absence. Then, producer Rick Rubin was absent from the studio... Slayer hired Paul Bostaph (drums) and recorded 'Divine intervention' in 1994, but despite going gold again, Rubin's absence was felt on that record. A punk rock covers album 'Undisputed attitude' was released in 1996, and drummer John Dette filled in for the absent Paul Bostaph on tour until 1998... 'Diabolus in musica' (1998) was the next album, but did not fare well in the late 90's. A run on Ozzfest '99 helped Slayer pick up new fans and they returned to their older sound w/ the album 'God hates us all' in 2001. In 2002, Paul Bostaph left Slayer, and Dave Lombardo was welcomed back to the band on drums... The band played the entire 'Reign in blood' album in concert in 2003/ '04... The next album 'Christ illusion' finally arrived in 2006. Slayer had to take a year off after the release of the 2009 album 'World painted blood' after Tom Araya had surgery on his back... they returned to tour in 2010... Unfortunately, another tragic setback hit guitarist Jeff Hanneman who was infected w/ a flesh-eating bacteria and survived, but the damage was severe and he had to take 2011 off as Slayer kept touring w/ Exodus guitarist Gary Holt taking his spot. In 2012, a financial dispute led to Dave Lombardo leaving the band... John Dette filled in again, until Paul Bostaph came back in 2013. That same year, Jeff Hanneman passed away from liver cirrhosis at age 50. Slayer dedicated their 2015 (and final) studio album 'Repentless' to the late Jeff Hanneman w/ Gary Holt officially on guitar... In 2018, Tom Araya announced that he was retiring, and Slayer would be playing their final tours. Slayer's last show was in L.A. in 2019. So far, Kerry King has hinted that he has a new band and new music w/ Paul Bostaph on drums, and intends to release it in 2023.

[@sheldonnicholl3599]

This is my favorite Slayer song from my favorite Slayer album. "War Ensemble", "Skeletons of Society", "Dead Skin Mask", and "Expendable Youth" are great tunes off this album. Kerry King's solo starts it off, but I really like Jeff Hanneman's solo (blonde guitarist). The transition from his awesome tapping to the main riff is sick!!! The most "aggressive" song in terms of speed and just not giving a f**k about feelings (i.e., calling it like you see it) is probably "Angel of Death". There are some other great tunes, but that one will probably deliver on all fronts. . . . For more "don't give a f**k" attitude songs, I highly recommend "Disciple". It's relatively short, but powerful and really pi$$es people off (or it did when it came out). Of course, "Angel of Death" broke the path for that song more than a decade earlier.

[@subjekt221]

Without a doubt, War Ensemble is the most chaotic song you will ever listen to. Some of the comments have this song listed but I STRONGLY suggest this song. Trust me on this, listening to Slayer since 1984.

Raining Blood. Listen to it on repeat. HAIL SLAYER 🤘🤘🤘

[@chrisbloomfield3350]

Dave Lombardo is arguably the best fill drummer in metal history. He's definitely my favorite drummer of all time (save perhaps John Bonham). Slayer is weird in the sense of "aggression." Yes, they have super fast and thrashy songs but a lot of their slower tempo songs (this being one of them) hit just as heavy. This is the title track and last track on their "Seasons In The Abyss" album. Probably my favorite album by them (close 2nd would be "Hell Awaits" which is definitely more "aggressive") but most fans would probably gravitate more towards their album "Reign In Blood" which is also a metal masterpiece. I have a Slayer tattoo on my left shoulder of their cover to "Divine Intervention." That's not relevant....especially since I'm not the biggest fan of the album itself, just a badass image....but it is a testament (another band you need to check out is "Testament" btdubs) to how much I enjoy Slayer on a whole. Great start song to get into Slayer, though. Awesome reaction!

[@xiropigado]

Great memories of Headbangers Ball on MTV. What a fantastic show that was.

[@eduardoelchamo9591]

Postmortem is one of those songs that most people don’t mention because most of these people would mention Angel Of Death and other “popular” Slayer songs , But Postmortem is Heavy is Dark and is a song that definitely defines Metal 🤘🏻

[@lowpinglag]

8:30 "What is their most aggressive song in their catalog?" Off the top of my head "Raining Blood" "Ghosts of War" and "Flesh Storm"

[@axdambient]

Altar of Sacrifice is their most aggressive song. I would really like to see you do a long video where you react to Reign in Blood, the full album. It's a very short record for album standards, and it takes you to hell and back. Altar of Sacrifice is track 4, and it has legendary songs like Angel of Death, Criminally Insane, and the closing duo of Postmortem and Raining Blood I think it would be fun and a cool change of pace

[@DeathBlocks]

Altar of Sacrifice is probably their most underrated song. Or maybe I just say that because it went from a great song overshadowed by other greats to one day realising o dear lord fuck me what is this. It is just so fucking frantic. There is so much that happens it is just insane. It is also the song that was playing as I was taking my shirt of and sitting down for my Slayer tattoo, which started while Jesus Saves was playing.

This was the last studio album to feature Dave lombardo on the drums until he rejoined then recorded Christ illusion . Technically this is probably slayer at their best ( as far as writing goes) Performance wise slayer were at their peak when Dave came back and they had been back together for around 18 months , check the still reigning dvd , that's them at their peak .

[@russkate88]

This was the last album to feature Dave Lombardo on the drums until he rejoined in the early 2000s. Two other songs worth reacting to from this album are the opening track - War Ensemble, and Expendable Youth.
