Fun fact; Tori Amos did a version of this song, of course with her own musical twist. The members of Slayer actually loved it and sent her a box full of merch after they heard it. Also, this track was used in an episode of South Park. Eric Cartman invaded a hippy festival playing this song. He said, "hippies hate death metal".

[@rofyle]

That SP episode was great.

[@shanebrown4146]

I LOVE TORI! Her version stunned all of us

[@philpennington826]

LOL I remember when that episode aired. You could actually hear Slayer fans in houses down the street yelling at the top of their lungs, "F**KING SLAYER IS NOT DEATH METAL!!!!" 🤣

[@adamrodgers2377]

God DAMNED HIPPIES!!!!!!!!!

[@gwaptiva]

And JBO crossbred it with the Weather Girls

[@tomtomthebear]

Ghosts of war is literally everything I love about slayer in one track..!!! A hidden gem in their catalogue

[@shealanger]

i agree! ghosts of war and live undead are my 2 favorite tracks on south of heaven, both are hidden gems.

[@JewKyle666]

​@@shealangerFuck Yeah! Live Undead is number 1 for me. It has every element of Slayer from the debut to their end in my opinion.

[@FredBeltran-o3d]

One of my personal favorites.

[@alemmingsdeath]

Fuck yes!

[@hexeautoexport2704]

Slayer is my favorite band of all time. Silent scream or South of Heaven are other great lyrics. If you like guitar try suicidal Tendencies “ How will I laugh tomorrow if I can’t smile today(video version is the best not a big fan of extended one), can’t bring me down or also Insitutionalized

[@p1g5m0k3]

Huge fan of How Will I Laugh Tomorrow (When I Can’t Even Smile Today)? That’s my favorite Suicidal Tendencies track, followed by Trip At The Brain and You Can’t Bring Me Down.

Enjoy your take on the song Lilly. I like to describe many of Slayer's guitar solos as sounding like a couple of cats fighting in a canvas bag.😆

[@motleydude73]

Kerry likens them to souls screaming and shrieking in hell.

[@markstrickland438]

Indeed. They are meant to convey chaos.

[@Seven50ml]

I got to see them play this live at an outdoor venue while it was pouring down rain. One of my best concert experiences \,,/

[@cesarvidelac]

I'm 52 years old, I discovered Slayer when I was younger than you. Watching young people like you appreciating this music without talking shit is priceless. Subscribed🖤

[@Shiljamannn]

1986 was the best year for metalheads.... All the albums that came out that year... MOP, Peace Sells, Reign in Blood, Somewhere In Time...

[@timw8398]

Young lady! Watching you react takes me down memory lane!! Reminds me of the girls I went to shows with throughout my 20s in the 80s. Full of life, insightful and ready for all that life brings!!!! Thank you! Keep rockin on! 🎸🎸🎸

[@MEDVE1978]

Raining Blood, the album is I think a genre defining piece. My introduction to Slayer was the Raining Blood / Black Magic live video. I watched that at the ago of 15 or 16 and I said "This is simply brutal, it hits you in the face and makes you go through walls". After that I got deeper into Slayer and I still love it. I attented 5-6 concerts and I can still remember Tom smiling while the first tempo speed up and us moshing like hell and everybody scraming.... It will always be one of my favourite moments.

[@slayersean30]

The greatest 29 minutes of metal ever recorded

[@R4NDLL]

And 'Seasons in the Abyss" is the greatest 42 minutes of metal ever recorded

[@shmick6079]

I mean, that final solo is really intended to be chaotic af

[@scottmccarthy1531]

Nothing like seeing that song live. Hearing the drums in the beginning and knowing what's about to come. Pure chaos!!! The Slayer pit..... man I miss that.

[@ntnt6557]

Funny that this song has no any hidden sense, in one interview Jeff Hanneman was asked what about this song, and he said "this is a song about a dude who got kicked out of heaven, and now takes his revenge on everyone"

[@Greg-om2hb]

Raining Blood is the climax of the Reign in Blood album, a seminal work the redefined Death Metal, with the assistance of producer Rick Rubin. To fully appreciate the song’s magnificence, you need to listen to it in the context of the full album (it’s only 30 minutes long). Slayer has no ballads, but they followed up Reign in Blood with an uncharacteristically slow album, South of Heaven. For something lyrical, try the title track or the closer, Behind the Crooked Cross.

[@steelrob7917]

It’s not death metal

[@LibertySpam]

South of Heaven is a groove metal album IMO, still love it....

[@fightinggamefanatic]

I saw Slayer 10 times live and Raining Blood is my favorite song!! Listen to Divine Intervention or Fictional Reality. Also, where’s the Death Metal love?Try Obituary - Final Thoughts , Insane / Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague, A Skull Full of Maggots / Deicide - Trifixion, When Satan Rules His World / Sepultura - Territory, Desperate Cry, Dead Embryonic Cells, Orgasmatron / Torture Killer - A Violent Scene of Death, Written in Blood / Six Feet Under - Still Alive, Lycanthropy / Morbid Angel - Eyes to See, Ears to Hear, Fall From Grace / Death - Pull the Plug, Suicide Machine / Country songs - Reba McEntire - Fancy (Bobbie Gentry Cover) / Charlie Daniels - Long Haired Country Boy / Jeannie C. Riley - Harper Valley P.T.A. / Bobbie Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe / Won’t hurt my feelings if you don’t like some of these, but try some!!

The album Christ Illusion is awesome, the song Jihad has an awesome riff, Skeleton Christ is another great one from that record

[@godropkicks3219]

For Slayer, that was their version of a ballad.

[@JG31392]

Slayer never went soft, unlike other bands. They stayed true to form and you always knew their songs were going to be terrifying.

[@godropkicks3219]

@@JG31392 I could not agree more.

[@chrisbanks6659]

Here's what Jeff had to say - (Jeff) Hanneman explained that "it's about a guy who's in Purgatory 'cause he was cast out of Heaven. He's waiting for revenge and wants to fuck that place up." (Kerry) King later said that "the rest of the song explains what happens when he starts fucking people up. The lyrics 'Return to power draws near' is because he's waiting to get strong enough again to overthrow Heaven. And then 'Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears' is everybody's blood flowing into him. So basically, 'Raining Blood' is all the angels' blood falling on him. You're a smart cookie, lady 🤗

[@its1ofthosedays562]

Hallowed point for sure has amazing lyrics

[@TheBsparks72]

I like em all, but this one is definitely overlooked.

[@thegorn68]

Imagine what we all thought hearing this for the first time in 1986. NO ONE was playing that damn fast.

[@Aethyrs]

yeah, it was the shit :)

[@fredlaroche6969]

Seriously, to this very day, if you divide the heavyness by the year it was released on, nothing even comes remotely close to Reign in Blood's ratio.

[@DeadlyRivfader]

Well... Bathory did back in 1984

[@bms9144]

I remember buying it when it first came out - I was absolutely blown away. In all the years since that time it is still defines the genre.

[@crookedvultrendall5581]

Even today's heavy metal doesn't feel has heavy as slayer!! Everything today in metal kindcof sounds the same. The Big 4 from the 80s definitely had their own sound!!

[@nigeldepledge3790]

FWIW, what Tom Araya had in mind when he wrote these lyrics was a cavern with stalactites all over the ceiling; and, impaled on those stalactites were dozens of corpses. The blood dripped from the stalactites and, as they landed, they formed the structure of S'tan's new body. Dead Skin Mask is one of the most uplifting and beautiful songs in Slayer's oeuvre, so if that's what you mean by lyrical, that's what I recommend.

[@raaab1212]

This makes you want to get a 100 mph speeding ticket

[@battle66674]

Slayer are the OG kings of the breakdown and change ups!!

[@collo121]

Satan? No about us, the fans when we go to the after life. We will reign! 🤘 For real ive no clue. at 20th anniversary of the album they played the entire album from angel to reign. When Reign was half way through blood rained down on the stage! You can buy the video!

[@ronvanmullekom1993]

I'm a metal guitarist from Michigan and I think you are badass!

[@dizawnofwizar]

There's a documentary called "still reigning" and it covers the entire album, etc.. this song they perform under a rain machine pouring red fluid on them as they play. It's pretty epic

[@ResubidorSerial]

NOW I SHALL REING IN BLOOD!

[@SuperSlymee]

I really like your take on the lyrical content of these songs.

[@michaelcriger6359]

"Abolish the Rules Made of Stone." What a fucking brilliant, poetic lyric! Dang!

[@darkhoursofday6250]

If someone asked me "What is the most metal song ever?" This would probably be my answer.

[@Metaltorium]

Yes please more SLAYER!! \M/

[@chaospoet]

Lyrically I'd have to go with "World Painted Blood". Last time I saw Slayer was on their farewell tour. When they played this that "Marching" part, as you called it, it was me and about 7 or 8 other guys, none of us knew each other from Adam, stood in a line and just put our arms around each other and in unison headbanged to that. I'll never forget that for as long as I live.

[@dontreadonme5331]

YES!!! IM ABOUT TO WATCH!!

[@shawnfate2656]

btw they do a live version where blood is actually pouring unto them from the top of the stage

[@julianortiz4151]

Have to come in here to correct something because I didn’t see anyone else mention it. This song is not written from the perspective of Satan… it’s about a serial killer and what could be possibly going through their mind when they commit the act. Even though there are some religious undertones, it’s more about the darker side of humanity and not necessarily Satan. When they say “abolish the rules made of stone” you’re correct it is a reference to the 10 Commandments but, they mean breaking the rule of committing murder out of a compulsion to do it. The devil is a scapegoat and not every evil thing done is due to him. Some people are just intrinsically evil. When you really think about it, it’s a bit more scary and disturbing. This is what Slayer are/were masters at. Painting a picture and letting your own imagination run wild with the suggestions. They’re not advocating or condemning anything just reflecting a side to human nature many would rather ignore.

[@jamescoleman8954]

Last time I seen slayer was on the big four tour. I wanted to see them on their retirement tour, but I didn’t have the money at the time so I missed out on that but I’ll be seeing metallic and Pantera this summer in New Jersey.

[@Vitericus1]

What's funny is that in the album's lyric/song notes, for those "solos" it doesn't say guitar solo, it just says, noise: King, Hanneman. It was just complete chaos for the sake of complete chaos.

[@squashedeyeball]

6:16 and here my hopes for building up to bands such as Cryptopsy :) One band and genre at a time. Bless you Lilly! A great first, as always. Personally, I think that all other songs on Reign in Blood are in fact better than this closer. But there is no doubt that it's one of the two most popular Slayer songs. Slayer wrote about a lot of serious matters. "Silent Scream"'s lyrics are very grave, for any era. "Mandatory Suicide", "Expendable Youth", and also "Jihad" and "Unit 731".

[@LouisWinthorpe622]

I saw Tom Araya being interviewed on a BBC documentary and asked about this. He broke into the shyest, most endearing big smile, like you would never have expected, and he said "Raining Blood, is basically, a horror story". He also wasn't a metal fan, when they recruited him into Slayer. He was basically some kind classic rock hippy. He claims never to have heard metal until he was introduced to it by the other guys. I think he picked up the general gist of Metal, pretty well. Most lyrical song: maybe War Ensemble. They were just writing it about what the horrors of war are, in an unironic way, with a few metaphors thrown in about it being treated by, maybe, the higher-up generals, etc, as a sport, but one where the score is measured in human life. Then, just like presidential candidates adopt songs like Born In The USA for their election campaigns, army officers, reputedly, adopted War Ensemble and blasted it out of massive speaker at Iraqui soldiers during the gulf war to frighten them into a state of semi-submission, even before any shots had been fired. If you listen to it with that in mind, you can imagine how somebody from a different culture, who isn't used to hearing something like that, might actually quiver in fear at the thought of what is about to ensue.

[@Nicholas_Burmeister]

This song is worth watching a live version of if for nothing more than seeing the mosh pit in action.

[@Aymungoos]

Please react to some early slayer from their first album it has a whole different vibe and is personally my favorite slayer. I'd recommend the antichrist or metal storm/face the slayer

[@Jason-bi2hx]

[@shmick6079]

Slayer lyrical songs… hmmm depends on what you’re after. I love Angel of Death, but maybe Dead Skin Mask or South of Heaven would be worth checking out. Or War Ensemble.

[@brian95240]

In that solo, it always sou da like a goat screaming towards the end LOL. Angel of Death uses that sound in its solo too. It literally sounds like the final battle of the Apocalypse.

Good morning! I and I would like to say three things. First you're awesome, glad to see the younger generation getting into Slayer and Metal in general 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼 Second my Daughter showed me this, she is 15 and is a Metal Head just like all of us, makes me proud 🥲🤣 and now I have subscribed to your channel because checking out your reaction and take on hearing this for the first time took me back 33 years to when I was 13 and heard Slayers Second Album Hell Awaits for the time. That was the first Slayer Album I heard and the first one I bought. My brother (RIP) was much older than me but new I liked Metallica handed me Hell Awaits and said listen to this, I think you might like it, well he was right. Scared the shit outta me but I loved it!!!!! & now hear I am 46 years old and still a HUGE Metal Head. 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼 Third, check out War Ensmble, 213, or Killing Fields those are awesome and my Daughter and myself think you will like those. Have a great day! 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
