Slayer - At Dawn They Sleep

[@TheFrasd]

Slayer's most underrated song.

[@scottryanmozert1246]

....@ E. Frasday :: totally agreed

[@mickey6275]

Some of Kerry's and jeff's best riffs

[@BulletSpawn]

+Enrico Frasday so true Enrico....

[@luanagoncalvesduarte3234]

After Crypts of Eternity.

[@shawnc666]

I agree but I love Gemini off of Undisputed Attitude.....

[@TheTamis]

one of their best songs ... hands-down

[@SuperDVDguy1]

in history!!

[@interwebrando135]

And in all likelihood, it's best live performance

[@luisfloresjr2173]

This version is by far the BEST!!!!

[@tmitch72lv]

Easily!!!

[@metalpunk7945]

I agree!

[@sickman1972]

RIP Jeff!! He wrote this kick ass song

[@rayanmehadjeri7604]

sickman1972 all of reign in blood,most south of heaven,hell awaits, seasons and diabolus in musica done by the one and only

[@joewhitaker3373]

Jeff Hannenman best ever.

[@joewhitaker3373]

And king wrote more on South of heaven then Hannaman.

[@joewhitaker3373]

Hannaman best work is divine intervention.

[@Sara_Kane]

Jeff didn't write all of Reign In Blood. Kerry co-wrote 7 songs on the album, and wrote one song entirely on his own. The only classic-era Slayer album where Jeff wrote most of the music was South Of Heaven.

[@kaseycarling1739]

toms voice sounds killer here holy shit

[@joepena3522]

Damn right it sounds killer evil took his soul on this song kill kill!!!!!! There the best metal bad they will never be replaced but missed

[@shermanwest3168]

My co-worker "There is absolutely nothing good about this music". Me, "KIll Kill Kill"!!!! Never looked at me the same way again!

[@dozerroman4325]

Stayed heavy to the end. Stayed true to the genre. Stayed pure to themselves. How many metal bands can actually say that? Not. Many. At. All.

[@t0rnad0_of_s0uls5]

I feel they changed a bit for divine intervention and undisputed attitude but they still played metal unlike Metallica going from thrash to metal to rock

[@knightfall9394]

I dont think they know how to do anything else which is why they’ve always made the same album over and over again

[@robertwalker3357]

Diabolus

[@BulletSpawn]

these guys have defined and continue to re-define what classic and modern metal should be...they have the best live sound and stage presence that can not be copied .... Jeff H riffs are haunting and inspiring......RIP Jeff..

[@SlayerKP666]

👍👍👍

[@EbenezarGold]

+BulletSpawn3000 the vibe on Hell Awaits was inspiring. It felt like the 9th circle of hell had come up through a crack in the surface. That was definitely Hanneman at work.

[@johnnyochoa5357]

BulletSpawn3000 IRON MAIDEN ALSO GIVE A GREAT STAGE SHOW!!!

[@BulletSpawn]

i would love to see them live

[@jessepriest307]

BulletSpawn3000 YOU ROCK \m/ was absolutely the MOST brutal and serious shit decades ago... before cell phone cameras could incriminate... a SLAYER show could decimate, assionate, and incinerate thy SOUL \m/

[@ichcheekok2866]

Hell Awaits was the best Slayer album

[@lordhoundmyersan3080]

All slayer abums are the best fo me

[@NINAITORDRUMS]

Show No Mercy & Hell Awaits Fucking Rules!

[@erhansolhan9564]

Hell Awaits is an atmospheric masterpiece. Every song is so well written, when they're combined into a whole album it gives you an experience of being in a really good horror film through the listener's ears by horrific riffs and lyrics. In terms of atmosphere, only Seasons In The Abyss would come close to Hell Awaits' perfection.

[@raba9808]

@@erhansolhan9564 yea dude. I how hell awaits album ends on the intro to the song

[@davidpierce9949]

Hell Awaits and Seasons are a close tie for me.

[@JCopland0331]

I bought Hell Awaits in August 1986. I remember throwing this into my tape deck and absolutely thinking this was the most evil music I’d ever heard. From title track, Necrophiliac, Kill Again, Praise of Death to At Dawn They Sleep. The whole thing enraptured me. Then Reign In Blood came out a few weeks later and I knew I was in it for life. Good times.

[@g.boychev9355]

Nothing quite has the twisted vibe of Hell Awaits. It is the most evil metal as far as I'm concerned, none of the death and black metal bands that followed made anything as rotten and grotesque.

[@ibleedwhiskeyplanet1544]

I don't remember the exact timing, but damn, within a 3-4 year period you had these Slayer lp's coming out, the MONUMENTAL Kreator first albums coming out, Destruction, and the beyond description Possessed-Seven Gates album coming out. You cannot imagine how full my record player stayed, or at work how the tapes I made of these classics I jammed to at hyper velocity speed.

[@naderzein2435]

I think this would be considered their best album if it had the production of Reign in Blood.

[@eon14873]

As a teenager I went to Liverpool penny Lane records to buy the record. I read all the lyrics and looked at all the art on the bus journey home when I then blasted it. Holy hell I couldn't believe how sinister it sounded. That was 32 years ago

[@HighOnFire1997]

I remember being 4 years old and looking at my dad's vinyl collection. Saw this album with the skull bleeding demons and was like fuck this is amazing. Made my dad put it on and ever since...well the rest is history. Btw that was South of heaven haha

[@carmenfabozzi5585]

Possibly the best Vampire song ever.

[@derdenserr]

Isn't it crazy how perfect Toms vocals always were? Don't know any real metalband that does the same job

[@derdenserr]

Except Pantera :)

[@golsamen9428]

[@samuelc.harbert8100]

I was 15 on this tour. saw them. got my ribs cracked. left the aid station and saw the rest of the show. I'm Jesus.

[@SWbro94]

Man fuck yeah, I cracked a rib the first time I saw slayer too. Knew something was wrong but didn't leave the pit once \m/

[@roger_VK2VRK]

This is by far one of the best structured and scary metal tracks you'll hear. Especially this version with Paul Bostaph playing the drums.

[@cambiaggiofredericphilippe3496]

Rojtel K Paul is very underated but what a great drummer

[@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066]

One of their very best songs! But there's nothing scary about it.

[@joewhitaker3373]

Paul is great Lombardo the king

[@luukeksifrozenhillbillyeur3407]

Damn straight. I wish the bass was more audible in the mix, though. It really adds to the oppressive atmosphere of the song on the album.

[@bigpoppak]

Rojtel K Jon Dette is way better than Bostoph . I saw slayer a couple months ago on their last leg of their last tour.....Bostoph was aweful

[@zsoltnagy7557]

The most killing track of the world!

[@dcs2690]

Tom's interpretation is just.... wow!

[@chrischarles9218]

What an awesome performance! That guitar sound...

[@TransgenderAirbender]

R I P JEFF,,,,ONE OF THE BEST,,,,

[@maxeypad]

Thrash at it's absolute finest.

[@scottryanmozert1246]

absolutely. yes---

[@drewmartin9502]

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say this is the greatest Thrash Metal song ever recorded. RIP JH

[@bellmeisterful]

I just realized something...Slayers probably the best band ever

[@erhansolhan9564]

I love the part where Tom chants repeatedly "KILL! KILL! KILL!". 3:47

[@ikilledme1millionyearsago693]

I thought he messed up the lyrics but it sounded even more badass

[@sahbian]

...not a single cell phone in the crowd :)

[@ΕίμιστιόλτσΑριστιράςτσΠρουόδκι]

The '95 cell phones had only 1 use: TELEPHONE. Imagine a thrashing/moshing/crowdsurfing/stagediving Slayer-fan using a telephone to call....ehm....who exactly?!? :-p "Hey mom....umf....it's....gup....everything fine....splash....over here!" LOL

[@BulletSpawn]

if u were lucky enough to have a cell.. back then it was like carrying a brick..a deadly weapon..

[@faithfull4373]

Can't stand that poser shit

[@ibleedwhiskeyplanet1544]

Same here, lots of concerts and live clips on vhs tapes.

[@steveferrell7961]

Miss those days!

[@igormironyuk6027]

Absolutely everything by Slayer before 1991 - Seasons is simply unforgettable metal superiority. Too bad about Jeff had to go sooo soon. RIP Metal Maniac...

[@3006USMC]

Slayer has dibs on background music for WW3....!!!

[@terrormichl9037]

Arayas amazing on one side always smyling and down to earth guy but on the other side when he starts the "kill kill kill" part you know he takes no prisoners

[@alienjude]

Paul Bostaph is an amazing drummer to play Dave's stuff like that

[@arvindshastry1178]

But didn't have Dave's power

[@russkate88]

​@@arvindshastry1178 in this era he definitely did.

[@unleash-hell6666]

[@tube_of_paul]

Just Legendary ... perfection in metal 👿. RIP Jeff. KK is god.

[@camronbay1]

The way Tom puts lyrics together very raw and powerful.

[@j.mangum7652]

You might assume Tom being the frontman he writes the majority of the lyrics but it's Kerry and Jeff who wrote most of the songs. Tom has written some and so has Dave but mostly it's Kerry and Jeff.

[@timberg9874]

The real slayer

[@jamescooper-hope6930]

Still Slaying after all these years.

[@stormymaiden]

Ojalá y lo sientan y entiendan en muchos idiomas......., esta canción de Slayer es y será por siempre lo más cercano a todo lo que represento la escena 80s en cuanto a crudeza, malicia, furia, pesadez, tiene todo lo que como metalero siempre seremos!! Saludos amigos.....

Everything of slayer resumed in one song....

[@seant.9402]

Who thinks that Slayer should just keep making new music and keep touring until they can't stand up??!! Even then I think they would still do a better job sitting down than most other bands! The CROWD will still frickin move!!!🤘🤘😈

[@jcneverquits]

BRUTAL!! My favorite Slayer song by far! Yes, Angel of Death and all their other popular hits destroy, but there's something surreal about this song that gets me every time!

This song and Bloodlust by Venom = Best vampire songs ever recorded.

I have always thought HELL AWAITS was their best album, the most violent, vicious, sadistic, and evilest I love this version of AT DAWN THEY SLEEP (Kill. Kill, Kill, Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, Kill!!!), not to mention KILL AGAIN, PRAISE OF DEATH, (my all-time favorite song) NECROPHILLIAC, CRYPTS OF ETERNITY, HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES the list goes on.
