FIRST TIME listening to SLAYER - "Dead Skin Mask" REACTION

they really do. It is insane!!

Seasons in the abyss is probably my favorite slayer album by far. Skeletons of society, blood red, War ensemble, born of fire besides this one and of course the title track

[@TokusatsuGamingfan]

"War Ensemble" is definitely a brutal and skull crushing song.

right there with ya buds lol! Been a metal fan since i was a teen in the 80s lol. I will die listening to metal. Slayer was king in the 80s very few bands today can capture metal the way it was meant to be but there are a few really good ones today lol!

there's a part at the end where you can hear someone yelling to let them out.. i remember being a young teen years ago blasting this song and turning it down frantically because I though my sister was yelling at me to turn it down.. it was really trippy..

Check out the Slayer song that's got the coolest riff - Postmortem.

Another slayer song about a serial killer is 213. It’s also a slow song from the album divine intervention. Killing fields is also a great song on the same album.

[@jeroenkoster1366]

Great reaction, Slayer is one of my favorite bands still, after knowing them for over 30 years they never get old or boring. And I still keep discovering new things in their music. Looks like you didn't do a song from Hell Awaits yet, maybe check out 'At dawn they sleep', 'Crypts of eternity', 'Necrophiliac' or 'Praise of Death', all fantastic songs. Or listen to the whole album, it's well worth it, every song is fantastic.

[@gery8989]

3:56 thats definitly an eargasm

[@sumonjamal1653]

This is a Slayer song that blows my mind... It was a regular in their concert setlists in their career since 1990 from the album 'Seasons in the Abyss'... (Late) Guitarist Jeff Hanneman wrote the music, while Tom Araya (bass/ vocals) wrote the lyrics about Ed Gein in no uncertain terms. Slayer has always courted controversial lyrics about real-life death, madness and atrocities... "Killing fields"... "Sex murder art"... '213' ... being some of their brutal, obscure work, along w/ bigger tracks like 'Jihad'... 'Silent screams'... 'Disciple'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥 Most death metal bands cite Slayer as a huge influence... from Cannibal Corpse to Behemoth to Cattle Decapitation... and so on...

[@Brando-Lee3725]

I've been listening to Slayer since the mid 80's. They are always a part of a playlist in some way usually many times. Also: Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath, is the album that is always playing in my brain when nothing else is.

[@mollesondesign]

during the time of this song, the movie Silence of the Lambs came out and captured everyones interest and fascination with serial killers... the movie and this song kind of go hand in hand with Slayer fans also being a fan of this movie...

[@BrettonFerguson]

Also the lyrics change. For example they start "Dead cold flesh", by the end he is playing with "Dead warm flesh". He graduated from grave robbery to murder and fresh corpses.

[@skinnypuppy95]

Spirit in Black is a favorite of mine. It’s from Seasons in the Abyss. The intro is amazing.

[@da9pauly]

Slayer is just so awesome at conveying emotions with their sound… Megadeth has a song about a serial killer, Good Morning, Black Friday (I don’t think it’s of a specific serial killer, It was inspired by Dijon Carruthers, who was the band's drummer prior to the hiring of Gar Samuelson. According to Mustaine, Carruthers was hanging out with people who were practicing occultism, and they inspired him to write songs based on spiritual themes.) Megadeth also has a song called into the lungs of hell that is just purely an instrumental that I think you’ll love.

[@timmiller745]

This is by far my favorite song from Slayer. Its an instrumental masterpiece. The lyrics are awesome

[@Skycladatdusk78]

None of todays pop and hip hop has anywhere near the talent of rock and metal, rock and metal actually requires talent to be good!

Dead Skin Mask is my all time favorite song. The Ed Gein Story is so insane, especially when you think of all the things he "INSPIRED". Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs, Norman Bates, House of 1000 corpses, Devils Rejects on and on. He was a murderer, totally insane and a pop culture icon in a way.

[@C_mao]

i f'n luv Slayer, they'r so f*cken crazy. The stuff they come up with is unmatched. The first time i saw them live was on their second tour 'Hell Awaits' the venue was basically a bar. (that allowed 18 and under for live shows) kzbin.info/www/bejne/enbIg39vabetmNk I'd say my fave stuff from them is their first four albums Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits, (Haunting the Chapel~4 song EP) Reign in Blood. Slayer, like AC/DC they don't make a bad song, they make good songs and great songs. You should see Hell Awaits performed live(the link) but first maybe check out the studio version. Seeing Slayer live, they look like they literally rose up from Hell, to play Hell's music, it's crazy.

[@C_mao]

P.S. ...Back in those days, a band would release an album, and then they would subsequently tour, with that album, for example; Metallica would drop 'Ride the Lightning' and then they would go on their 'Ride the Lightning Tour' and play all, or most of the songs on that album, plus some of their previous stuff.

[@Arthur-ke9vz]

[@captaincapitalism264]

You nailed it on this one. I think the song's buildup, the solos, crescendos...all enforce what's being sung...a psychosis being dissected. Well done. I still dare people discovering Slayer, to listen to (react to) "Silent Scream". It's directly after the title track on South Of Heaven, what that piercing guitar sustain leads right into.

[@Slappedkat]

I started listening to Slayer about 30 years ago. I dont know what most of their songs are about. Ive never read their lyrics. Im like this with alot of bands. Not all but most music I listen to. Im more interested in the music, Daves syncopation on the drums in a thrash metal band for example and the sounds and expression of the guitars in Slayer. For me with vocals, Im more interested in the phrasing of vocals and tonality and where that sits in with the rest of the music arrangement. I hear a vocal more as an instrument even though thats only half of the skill of a vocalist the other half being songwriting and story telling. Toms vocal portrays horror and he does it so well. Its always been enough for me. The best part is one day Ill sit down and read Slayers lyrics and have a whole new experience with them some 30+ years later.

[@CJCon885]

I think a couple of my favorites are the classics like Black Magic or Captor of Sin.

213 from Divine Intervention is absolutely nightmarish, it was Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment number, the song was originally an unfinished song Jeff Hanneman wrote 10 years earlier but they didn't have a place for it on their previous albums, then Dahmer came along and gave it, inspiration let's say🤘💀

I've been listening to the band for 40 years and it's fantastic to see that you're still dealing with it today. But what I really love you for is that you completely understand Slayer's intention and I can see on your face the moment when it "clicked" in your head and you explain exactly what your interpretation is. Big fan... In the time from "Show no Mercy" to "Seasons in the Abyss" there was probably the largest collection of bands that wrote metal history without copying each other. So feel free to continue for the next 50 years... If you're looking for bands or songs, ask 😁... Keep it up!

So glad you reacted to the song tied with the title track off of this album for being my all time favorite Slayer song! Great job! And also, I hope you please do a reaction to the Slayer song Mind Control off of the album Divine Intervention. With the song entitled Mind Control probably was created from the lyric in this classic “Lose all mind control, rational decline.”

[@ryansalmons5279]

As bad as I feel for Ed Gein's victims, I ALMOST feel as bad for Ed himself. He was legitimately insane & died in 1984 at the age of 77. What makes me feel bad for him, is that he really didn't get help in the institution he spent the rest of his life in. However, as a fan of true crime & horror, the story is so creepy it's good

Show up at a concert and you will find the most inclusive crowds around.
