“People mistake exposure for glorification. We tell the world what people do to each other. They should be offended, but not by us.” --Slayer

[@joshpelton3708]

Great quote and im betting it was Jeff who said it. It was he, who started writing about serial killers etc .

Art imitates life. When life begins to imitate art you need to be careful.

So true. People who misunderstand Slayer are idiots who are poor listeners. The dumbest are those American soldiers who use this song when invading other countries! This song is specifically a condemnation of their actions.

I was at this actual concert when I was 17. My dad was in the U.S. Air force, stationed in the U.K. until 1991. Drove me and my two best metalhead friends all the way to Wembley from Oxfordshire.

Christ, you forget what Dave Lombardo was capable of. What a force of nature behind a drum kit. There are many death metal drummers who blast beat around a kit nowadays but Dave didn't use electronic triggers and he could GROOVE at 220bpm. I've still never heard anything like it to this day.

[@jmyers95655]

I've been listening to Slayer since 1985, when I bought "Hell Awaits" on vinyl. I was 13 then, and 30 years later, metal is still my first love, & Slayer remains the one band that I can never tire of listening to. They are way better of a band than Metallica, who seem to get "best metal band ever" mentioned entirely too often in the same sentence, but in reality, Slayer is much more representative of the genre, & have released not one, not two, not three, but four classic albums in their career. What's even more amazing is they were released consecutively: Hell Awaits, Reign In Blood, South Of Heaven, & Seasons In The Abyss. Most bands can't muster one or two records of material that will go down as a benchmark in their genre, but this band has, undoubtedly.

[@kcregalado]

I felt bad that no one liked this and its beutiful so i liked it

[@crazyfruit27]

Yes but Metallica has released 4 amazing albums that represent thrash metal very well. Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justice For All were some of the greatest albums of all time in my book, only followed (obviously) by Slayer's exquisite discography :)

Reign in Blood my favorite hands down. 🤘

[@colmhain]

I'm 50 years old, and I've been listening to these guys for well over 30 years. Prolly closer to 40. I've seen'em a few times. And they have NEVER dissapointed. Every album, every song, EVERY GODDAMNED RIFF, you know it's Slayer. And they pull something out of me, deep and lizzard-brained. Adrenaline courses through my body, the pain leaves my aching, worn joints, and I am immersed in batle lust. And even now I will enter the pit, shoulders and elbows, fists and feet, heads and hands. And through the sweat, and the blood, and the pain, and the puke, there is brotherhood. There is JOY!!! I've gone to seed a bit, but my old 265# ass can still clear a space! There will soon come a day when I can no longer join the maelstrom. And when that day comes, I will listen to these riffs and remember. And with these memories, I shall always REIGN IN BLOOD!!!! SLAYER!!!!!!!!! MUTHERFUKKER!!!!!!!

Their best album, one that combines the frenetic energy of Reign in Blood and the heaviness of South of Heaven. One of those rare albums I sing along to, and listen front to back every single time I play it!

[@MrJackcorgi]

this was a great album compared to SOUTH OF HEAVEN .for me personally ,south of heaven is like slayers attempt at a pop album. dont get me wrong here... when it was first released, me and my friends played this tape 1000s of times and loved having a new slayer album after playing the others 1000s of times as well .i went to the SOH concert when it came to town,and probably have the stub somewhere it was a great show in a tiny club packed with rabid slayer fans. the band actually went to a friends after party (that i missed :-l ) i guess tom and dave were totally cool to everyone and kerry and jeff were total assholes to everyone.lol imo HELL AWAITS and REIGN IN BLOOD are their best albums musically and lyrically .

[@SonOfTheLion]

@@MrJackcorgi I've always preferred the lyrics of SOH and Seasons. Songs like South of Heaven, Silent Scream, Blood Red and this song have much more important messages than anything on Reign or Hell Awaits. The satanic violence is fun but songs like these are profound. I think Seaons hit the right balance between Reign and SOH even if I prefer the Reign sound better.

[@KasumiRINA]

@@SonOfTheLion All of them are mostly satirical. Slayer used shock value for clout, of course, but the lyrics are tongue in cheek... I mean, Tom Araya supports experiments of Dr. Mengele as much as war crimes and bloody human sacrifice rituals. Difference is some songs are more gore for sake of it (kinda like Carcass or Napalm Death) and others are deeper but in the end, it's mostly irony on dark topics that were always bread and butter of Metal.

[@SonOfTheLion]

@@KasumiRINA A song like Silent Scream is about abortion and it isn't satire. Jeff and Tom where/are pro-life. Neither is Blood Red's anti-commie message or South of Heavens's warning about our fallen culture. What makes Slayer great is they aren't your run of the mill Death Metal band like Cannibal Corpse. Tom himself has spoken in interviews about how he wants to illuminate the evil in the world so you can find your way to the good.

To be fair "Slayer" means "stab your loyal drummer in the back, take his money and fire him" in Swahili. Dave should have looked it up before giving them his best years

[@arvindshastry1178]

I would say Dave got even better after leaving Slayer. His drumming on all the Grip Inc albums were top notch and his drumming on The Gathering (Testament) was also mind blowing.

[@RandyRanis]

I am russian. It's totally strange to hear this song now. Even, in my country the government forbids to use term "war". Mad time. But soon the war will end. I love Slayer

[@alexanderr.2804]

So do I. This war will end with the victory of Ukraine

[@jackfradley6252]

Not unless you get rid of your warmonger president!

[@constantinsergeev1871]

If you only pulled heads out of ass on February 24, that does not mean there was no war before - it has been going on several years...

[@jamescaliendo1030]

@Alexander R. sad you don't know the truth as to what's going on there. Putin wants to remove a US installed govt under Obama in Ukraine. It's horrible what's happening there, but Putin is not the enemy

[@chrisruttle2882]

Just wondering, do ordinary Russians believe putin is right or do they realise he is just a bluffing mafiosi warlord?

[@jackduncan4228]

I was a huge Dead Kennedy’s fan back in the early eighties even though I was a young teenager. I loved Slayer from the first time I heard them. I was at this gig. The feeling amongst the fans waiting to get in was one of extreme camaraderie. We were all waving Slayer banners and sharing what our favourite tracks were. There were two American chicks there that had followed them to England for their gigs here. It’s very hard to find words to describe what the gig was like. It was an assault on the senses. It was so loud and brutal. I’d taken speed before going in, so I was full of energy and it all sounded so good. I remember my ears ringing all the way back down to Portsmouth on the train. The dawn came and I had sore legs and a sore neck, but I was still buzzing from the gig. I sneaked in a dictaphone to make a bootleg tape of the gig. The sound quality was terrible but people still bought it.

[@KasumiRINA]

My fav Slayer track is Spill the Blood. I love the fast stuff but they have so much of it, all kinda blends together. The heavier, slower, creepier songs stand out. Opposite case with Black Sabbath where gems like Paranoid and Children of the Grave are shining between gloom and doom.

[@chrisnorris2076]

Saw em live for the first time in 1994, and left with a bloody nose. Saw em again in 2018, and left with even less hearing. Both concerts were fucking amazing.

[@saul4307]

This song reminds me of my state history class, my teacher was a coach and a pretty big fan of Slayer. There was one time he let me put this song on in class because some girl wanted to know what the hell we'd be talking about. That was a damn good class.

[@brandothecat]

I still remember the day the CBC afterschool video show played this in around 1989. My mind was blown.

[@jasonhaeckel]

"The final swing is not a drill, its how many people I can kill!!" Hell yes!! Thanks Slayer for all the years of great music :)

[@ataysana7876]

This song has the best guitar solo in Slayer music

[@kaspar_1982]

A Masterpiece.

[@blakestormcrow6275]

This was the first Slayer song that I heard back in '92, and it still rocks as much as it did then, more than 30 years later! A perfect compliment to my "nerdy" wargaming and tabletop roleplaying, with a smidgen of alcohol and drugs 😂

[@_TheUnforgiven_]

A Brilliant song. Brilliant video. Brilliant song title. And all these three things go perfectly together. The clip is made in black and white, which gives it a darker and militaristic atmosphere (my first associations with black and white films are a WWII and pre-war chronicle of the XX century). This video does not need excerpts of military newsreels from the Second World War, because the video itself is an anti-war protest of the band members. The musical component of the War Ensemble is no less impressive. The reef, reminiscent of a military march during the verse, best conveys the atmosphere of the song itself. At the same time, the song remains quite formidable and aggressive. The murderous solo, that begins after the protracted cry of «War», will not allow you to forget why the song is called the ”War Ensemble”. The lyrics also deserve special attention. No primitive lines, just poetry in the style of Slayer. “Sport the war” is an amazing comparison that is firmly hammered into memory. Every line in the song is imbued with horror. The War Ensemble is a masterpiece, that will never lose its relevance as long as the Holy Wars take place…

[@aarondavis4341]

I've ALWAYS loved how Tom stands there chanting lyrics all nice and calm. Out of the big 4 Slayer rocks the hardest,the fact that Tom's neck is all screwed up from years of head banging, alin3 proves that you don't hear any of the other 3 bands saying they can't headbang anymore ,ALL HAIL THE GREAT SLAYER!

[@greatriffishere]

Yeah, i use to think Slayer rocked the hardest, but Metallica takes it to the next level!! Both bands are great!!
