So any christian commentary on behemoth really can only boil down 'yes, but you're just subverting x, and i dont understand this obscure occult reference'. Mgła, exercises in futility 1 or 5. Complete refutation. Lets see him walk around those lyrics. The great truth is there isn't one, as the opening line. There's a fun one for a pastor to work with. And nergal is trying to piss off the church. Its obviously subversive, and thus isn't subversive. Mgła is low key poetry and all the more tricky as a result.

Okay, I've been a Slayer fan since 1983.

They're just writing words expressing feelings that most of us have at one time or another. I think that if you want to take apart this song piece by piece (pun intended...Slayer fans will get it even if you don't...), you should also look at the rest of their lyrics. Like War Ensemble that you keep mentioning... But I digress. I don't know y'all, this is the first video I have watched of yours. But I would expect that you would do a little more homework about your subject matter, like the guys of Lost in Vegas, who do reaction videos. Those guys come prepared. They know what they're talkin about in regard to the music, in general. So I would expect you to know that this album, God hates us all, was released on 9-11-2001.

I wasn't comfortable with listening to SLAYER until I found out Tom Arya is a catholic and because of that I am a fan and listen to darker music and myself I am a open minded Christian and I do what these guys do explore the lyrics

[@Smokeyquartzshop]

I thought I was the only one who got freaked out by the kid screaming in dead skin mask. I was mowing the grass one day with really good studio quality ear buds. And I jumped because I thought the sounds were coming from behind me. This was only like a year ago for me 🤣

[@jameshowdeshell8345]

Thing about Slayer is it's not about the words they use it's about how they use the words. Kerry King Jeff hanneman and Tom Arayu tell a story of reality from the darker side of perception. Blunt honest and to the point no sugar coating. Silent Scream is one of the best examples of then telling a story that their fans will understand. And we do

[@morkey74]

I thought you were going to talk about the Slayer song called "Point"

[@markokrivokapic3121]

Yeah I agree with your point of view about Slayer's lyrics and your pick Silent Scream is excellent because they wrote lyrics of dark side of human nation-all of us have more evil than good inself but when evil completely posses person become very bad man/woman and there is no way back-from birth till death evil is inside everyone.

[@allenrussell9526]

Oh there are sooo many Slayer songs I'd love to hear your reactions to. Manditory Suicide, and Skeletons of Society being among them. The thing about Slayer is their stuff is designed to push boundaries, push buttons and make you ask questions of perception. I don't listen to much Slayer anymore after being saved but I used to listen to them all the time in my adolescent and young adult years. Seasons In The Abyss is probably the album of theirs I like the most. Yes their material is of a darker nature but so is that of the realities of the world. I am kinda amazed you guys did a reaction to Slayer. Nice! Love the channel and vids. Keep it up.

[@TigrrrUnleashed]

"Mandatory Suicide" is about getting drafted into service. I read about it in a magazine interview twenty years ago.

You guys are pure class. I am a Christian who loves metal and you guys deliver quality discussions that are severely missing in society

I got a chance to see Slayer live and they opened with this track, I lost my voice singing along to the lyrics while in the crowd. Greatest opening ever! Slayer is one hell of a band to see live, like Metallica and Megadeth and Anthrax.

[@0pher545]

This is a very interesting conversation that I’m glad we can have. I personally that they’re is a difference between hate and justice. Justice comes from love. God the father is like a father to all of us and when we sin he will punish us, not out of hate, but out of love. I don’t feel your opinion is wrong. It really just comes down to how you define hate. I would also like to point out that Tom Araya is a devoted Christian and only writes songs like these to create controversy. Most of these ideas are so extreme only a psychopath would think like that. It can be this extreme because it is just a song shouldn’t be taken seriously. Overall a great song and a great discussion. Love your videos, keep doing what you are doing.

[@jamesbeitman5186]

I'm a Slayer fan, have been since 1983's Show No Mercy. What I get from these lyrics is, if God really did love this world, how could he let all the crap to happen, and how there are so many judgmental "Christians" that are pure hypocrites.

[@abhorrentlullabies9947]

Evil don't come from God. You also have free will and I would say that all people are hypocrites in some way, non Christians just like to point it out about Christians since they are suppose to represent "good".

Late to the show.. But you were trying to figure out when this was from.. Oddly enough, this album was released on 9/11/2001.

[@HarujiSubayama]

Try their song "Read Between the Lies." It's fantastic! It's a different take on faith issues. It's not criticizing belief in God, but instead corrupt evangelists. I'd actually recommend the majority of the Seasons in the Abyss album, AND South of Heaven. They're amazing albums. As for this song, I remember Kerry King explaining that the song wasn't meant to be taken literally; the title is being hyperbolic about how miserable life can be. I can't speak for every line of the song, mind you. Looking forward to the next video!

[@CryingZombie666]

I thought the line "drones since the dawn of time" was about drone strikes during the Gulf War, so I interpreted Disciple as a criticism against using religion as an excuse to wage wars for personal gains.
