She did it! She did it again! How is this level of consistency possible folks?

[@mollyesanborn]

Haha thanks! I love making these videos and discovering all of these amazing bands and albums.

[@danpereyra2165]

​@@mollyesanborn Nice to know that! I love getting into new bands too, in fact I've been listening recently to Unwound and they're such a cool post-hardcore band, their development from album to album is quite great despite not being too complex, I'd suggest you give them a try at some point later; for now I'll enjoy how you discover more of Pink Floyd and Depeche Mode (some of my favs haha).

[@mollyesanborn]

I always say that first scream in Angel of Death sounds like someone falling down into the pits of hell while going through an accelerated puberty

[@mollyesanborn]

Accurate 😂

[@3Clod]

ahahahahah that was... like she said!

[@javalefralop9241]

This is the perfect description for that scream lol It's also fitting for the beginning of an album that sounds like an audio tour in hell

Great doom thrash album

[@Dinobot2]

So slowed down Reign in Blood?

[@SuperSpacebum]

I love the comments about the guitar solos. People rag on them, but they fit the music perfectly. They're not just guitar solos, they're the cavernous howls of tormented and vengeful souls.

[@AgnosticTruth]

Obviously anyone who rags on their solos doesn’t know how to play guitar. Those boys can play! Kerry just likes the whammy bar a little too much.

[@bighomiestevethemetalhead]

It's mainly because they're super chaotic and seem to have no form of melodic structure like guitar solos traditionally have, it just sounds like they're randomly moving up and down the fretboard in a chaotic fashion with a ton of random whammy bar. But I agree that the guitar solos match the music, they wouldn't sound right with a Master Of Puppets style of solo. It's the same thing with people ragging on Lars's drumming, Metallica wouldn't sound like Metallica if anyone but Lars was drumming.

[@baax]

Well said man, i love all the solos, this album is a masterpiece.

[@Skycladatdusk78]

Their solos are chaotic and painful and it fits the music and lyrics perfectly. Slayer is one band I don't want to have melodic and pretty solos.

[@PETERODZZ]

That was Rick Ruben asking Kerry and Jeff to do more guitar solos

[@rycolligan]

The opening to "Jesus Saves" is one of my favorite parts of the album. I was playing it for a friend once and he said "when I hear this I feel like I'm in actual danger", and I can't disagree.

[@kadoom8843]

“The gates of pearl have turned to gold, it seems you lost your way” is the best line in metal history.

[@bighomiestevethemetalhead]

That's the feeling I get with "Criminally insane" and "213" (from the Divine Intervention album), it's just soo menacing that it gives you a sense of danger!

I saw ex Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo as well as Scott Ian from Anthrax performing on stage when I went to see Mr Bungle a little while back,they started playing a Slayer song Hell Awaits which was so heavy it sounded like actually being in Hell, but then in typical Mr Bungle style it morphed into pop hit True by Spandau Ballet, it was hilarious

[@SanityStick]

Going to see them in a couple of weeks, can't f'n wait!

[@pazwretzky4673]

I had my reservations as to wheather they could pull off live what they do on their albums, but that was soon put to rest, they were great, I was thoroughly entertained

[@mollyesanborn]

What an album! This was such a wild listen.

[@metaltildeth6783]

Yes! My favorite Slayer album. I can't wait to watch your reaction to this classic Thrash album. Loved your reaction to "Reign in Blood". Your expressions and descriptive words when you stopped songs to comment had me smiling. This is a great Thrash metal album, one of the top 3 every produced, along with "Rust in Peace" and "Master of Puppets". A few notes. The sound of this album is different than other Thrash metal of the period and many other types of metal albums because it was recorded without reverb. That is why the music is so in your face. Also, the average BPM (beats per minute) for "Reign in Blood" is nearly 220. The produce going forward from "Reign in Blood" is better than their first 2 releases.

[@mollyesanborn]

This album is fantastic! I never knew what to expect. Hope you enjoy the reaction :)

[@SomerankeroffYT]

Fun fact: this was released on the hip-hop label, Def Jam alongside Public Enemy & The Beastie Boys - (certified hood classic indeed)

[@mollyesanborn]

This is some heavy hip-hop... lol. Cool fact, thanks for sharing!

[@Greg-om2hb]

Reign In Blood was SLAYER’s Apex Mountain. Basically, there was Metal before RIB, and Metal after RIB. And producer Rick Ruben was instrumental in changing the way Metal was recorded.

[@Curdledmayonnaise]

one of the things i love about this album is that all the songs are very similar it makes the whole album like one giant song in a way

[@mollyesanborn]

I kinda get that, the whole album flew by when I listened to it and the tracks are all relatively short too. That combined with their fast pace does make it seem like one giant song in a way, they don't let you take a breather at all on this album!

[@govs213]

Yea what a song…. Angel of Death intro and Raining blood Outro whilst the the middle just shreds your soul with hells fingernails

ah yes the big four 🤣 such an american idiocy: metallica self nominated them that and people were all like "ooooh, so they are the best!" a pity they forgot to mention exodus, overkill... not to mention the european killer bands, way more violent and faster, like destruction, sodom and kreator 😅 Metallica are the biggest scam. The only big in that tour were slayer, megadeth and anthrax so it's the big three, in the end

[@MrZadWallop]

Slayer has got so many classics in their decades long catalog. South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss are usually considered must listens by the fans but I have a soft spot for God Hates Us All (infamously released September 11, 2001) and Undisputed Attitude, which is a cover album of punk classics. I'd love to see your reaction to any of those!

[@mollyesanborn]

Absolutely, I'd love to hear all of those! I'll certainly plan on more Slayer videos here on the channel :)

[@pawelkeller]

Definitely try Seasons In The Abyss

[@Brandonmtlhd]

You finally got to experience the most perfect half hour in thrash. They haven't done anything like this album before, or since. Every song is balls out heavy, fast, neck breaking and demonic. Yes, very different from Seasons in the Abyss.

[@mollyesanborn]

Yep this record was fantastic! Such a jam packed album, so speedy and so many unexpected twists and turns. I had a lot of fun listening to it and am excited to hear more from Slayer now.

[@MrBadger]

"His vocal delivery is so unique...it's almost like really intense spoken word..." Spot on comment! It's like thrash rap!? +1 for a South Of Heaven listen.

Slayer is one of a kind & their influence can’t be overstated. I love every record though many fans don’t care for some. Looking forward to more of your reactions & curious if you hear them all, which one would end up being your favorite.

¡You are officially baptized as an extreme metal head! This album is unbeatable, i hope you listen it later full without pauses, i love it because is pure noise, catchy, without melodic solos, and the sound mix is so good even today. So great to see you reacting with the red dress, possessed by the speed and heaviness hehe. You will enjoy his Diabolus In Musica album, because its different and influenced by nu metal.

Your facial expressions had me laughing out loud in places. This record is a perfect Thrash masterpiece. The flow of the songs, even the segues between some of them, it just all comes together the way it needs to. A bunch of artists have done covers of the song Raining Blood, ones you'd never expect to. I'm really glad you liked it so much, but I kind of figured you would.

[@metalrules1135]

@@mollyesanborn One of the weird things about this record. Slayer had just signed to Def Jam records, which at the time was the label that all the big Rap bands were on. So you had this monster Thrash record come out as one of the flagship records for a Rap label. Rick Rubin had a way of thinking outside the box and making things happen that you maybe wouldn't have though of doing. But it worked. In the context of the times, this was radical. Thrash was being ignored by record labels and that caused people to form them just to get this stuff out there. So like Megaforce, Combat, Steam Hammer and others came into being just to get Thrash to the market. Then Slayer signs on with the biggest Rap label out there. It might not seem weird today. But at the time it was revolutionary.

[@tonyschannel7438]

So I know I recommned that you check out Tori Amos' discorpahy at some point, well one of her albums "Strange Litttle Girls" consists of 12 cover songs where Tori, a woman (obviosuly)covers 12 songs orignaly written and/or performed by men, and one of the songs she covers is "Raining Blood" and while Slayer's version is super heavy and intense, her version is a soft somber piano ballad...and somehow it works!

[@3Clod]

I wanted to recommend that too, it's a totally new song by tori

[@mollyesanborn]

That cover would be very interesting to hear, I'll have to plan on checking out Tori Amos' discography soon. Thanks for the suggestion!

​@@mollyesanborn As a Slayer fan who went so far as to get the bands logo tattooed on my arm, I LOVE Tori Amos. Incredible artist, haunting and beautiful.

[@Gary_M]

Eh, that cover is ok but I highly recommend her album "Under the Pink". It's a masterpiece.

[@brettschacht4183]

@@Gary_M My favorite as well.

[@robhws]

Angel of Death. My favorite Slayer song of all time and a great way to kick off the album.

[@mollyesanborn]

Yeah, what an amazing opening track it is! Brings so much energy to start the album off.

[@silverjaw138]

SLAYER!!!!!!

[@TheSpectrum]

Not even the first minute of Angel of Death and she goes "It's like we're entering the depths of hell". Yup! That's Slayer in a nutshell. Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian once said "Slayer is the music you hear on your way to hell...that or Ricky Martin!"

[@Nobiemon]

Gut punch of an album. I remember first listening to it when I was about 13 and felt actually, physically affected by it. And I loved it!!

[@morbid1.]

classic

[@connorruckert8283]

This is great! Would love to see a reaction to Bathory's self titled

[@mollyesanborn]

Thanks for watching! I'll be sure to keep your suggestion in mind :)

[@AtostheDachshund]

@@mollyesanborn I confirm, great album, precursor of black metal.

[@mcshids7051]

Definitely check out Seasons in the Abyss too, it's probably my second favorite Slayer album just below this one. Show No Mercy is also a great album.

[@mollyesanborn]

I'll definitely plan on doing some more Slayer here on the channel :)

[@420slayer3]

SLAYER RULES!!!!!! Congratulations on finally hearing the best music ever made besides Sabbath and the Beetles.

[@mollyesanborn]

I know, it took me much too long to get to a Slayer album here on the channel. So glad I finally checked this one out though, what a fantastic record!

[@patrickkaminowski6380]

Absolute essential album ! 🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@mollyesanborn]

Yeah this album is amazing! Just nonstop energy from beginning to end.

[@nathanpark1058]

Their first album, Show No Mercy, is a complete masterpiece.

[@sgtstank]

I'm more of a South of Heaven guy myself. Hell Awaits has some pretty special moments on it too. Seasons in the Abyss was the last album that had that "thing" for me, but there are admittedly great tracks on later albums.

[@mollyesanborn]

I'll definitely be checking out more of their albums now, I'm excited to hear them!

[@davekell36]

I love seeing people go back to my childhood music I was 15 when this came out and and had to buy another copy with in a year cause I wore out the tape lol.

[@jonathanrendon8579]

I recommend you go through their entire catalog

[@mollyesanborn]

I'd love to, this album was so wild and I'm very intrigued to hear more of Slayer's music!

[@sammitchell3657]

Agreed. She HAS to hear God Hates Us All & South Of Heaven.

[@LANGI902]

Nawww you can't stop at Seasons In The Abyss. Thats enough Slayer for one person 😂

[@jonathanrendon8579]

My first Slayer album was God Hates us All, and I absolutely couldn't believe what I was hearing! I subsequently went and bought an album from them every month or so till I was caught up :)

[@kaknazebali6073]

You should try God Hates Us All - it's their best album with second drummer Paul Bostaph, and also nooone on KZbin ever reacted to full album playthrough. :)

[@Spitatra]

Hey Molly, I love your videos! I was wondering how I could go about recommending an album for you to review. Thank you and have a great day!

[@mollyesanborn]

Thanks so much, glad you're enjoying the channel! Just leave any album/band suggestions in the comments, I have a list going and will make sure to add it :)

[@Spitatra]

@mollyesanborn Okay thank you, I would highly recommend the album Separate by the band Capstan! It's a great album I think you would really enjoy.

[@mollyesanborn]

@@Spitatra thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to check that one out.

[@mjnation7876]

Oh nice. Slayer is great. Angel Of Death, Postmortem, and Raining Blood are my favorites on this album. I say either do South Of Heaven or Seasons In The Abyss next.

[@mollyesanborn]

Yeah this album is loaded with fantastic tracks, it's hard to pick a favorite. I do love that breakdown in Raining Blood though, just absolutely epic! I'll definitely plan reactions for Seasons in the Abyss and South Of Heaven as well.
