The main riff to this song awesomely skull crushingly heavy. One of Jeff Hanneman's best songs that he's written. RIP Jeff sadly missed

[@wickedblackmetal6278]

one my favorites to play on guitar, it's the second only to Raining Blood

[@tommarkovic2179]

Jeremy Slaney ya but hell where it's at all real slayer cryonics will see Jeff again. fucking Slayerrrrrr

[@UnkleJohn84]

best track on R.I.T.

[@kaisercrusher8827]

I'm sooo addict to that song dammmm Slayer simply the Best of all Legends !!

[@gst013]

Slayer's melodies are totally underrated, especially given what a crushingly heavy and intense band they are 👍

[@viniciustieppozeni]

There are many ways one can die Many ways one can achieve death Many ways one can achieve ... POSTMORTEM

[@mc12358]

Technically very true... It's much easier to die than to live.

[@kroll-li8zx]

A true pledge for those who have fought during their entire life against the odds no matter their walk of life.

[@francoislafosse7836]

One of the few Slayer songs without lead, pure masterpiece.

[@silverphoenix_1756]

One of the reasons its so good

[@Zionsol777]

No one can touch Jeff's lyrics.....no one.I miss him a lot. RIP

[@therialdap]

Lyrics: Funeral held for the depression of man Holds the key to his own death Entering a tomb of a corpse yet conceived Tighten the tourniquet around your neck Sifting away the debris of hated life Cold touch of death begins to chill your spine Seeking life beyond your perishment Repeating words echoing through your mind Chanting lines of blind witchery To save yourself from extinction Wanting to die is your reason to live New life born from the oppressed Taste your blood as it trickles through the air Another casualty beyond the shadows you fall Losing ground, the fate you feel it draws near Fatality, reality, you await the final call My sinful glare at nothing holds thoughts of death behind it Skeletons in my mind commence tearing at my sanity Vessels in my brain carry death until my birth Come and die with me forever Share insanity Do you want to die! The waves of blood are rushing near, pounding at the walls of lies Turning off my sanity, reaching back into my mind Non-rising body from the grave showing new reality What I am, what I want, I'm only after death

“Postmortem” means “after death” in Latin. Most commonly, the term refers to a postmortem examination, or autopsy, conducted on a corpse in order to determine cause of death. This Slayer song explores preoccupation with death as a means to a new, transcendent life. LYRICS Funeral held for the depression of man Holds the key to his own death Entering a tomb of a corpse yet conceived Tighten the tourniquet around your neck Sifting away the debris of hated life Cold touch of death begins to chill your spine Seekin' life beyond your perishment Repeating words echoing through your mind Chanting lines of blind witchery To save yourself from extinction Wanting to die is your reason to live New life born from the oppressed Taste your blood as it trickles through the air Another casualty beyond the shadows you fall Losing ground, the fate you feel it draws near Fatality, reality, await the final call

[@Flaco-ip7cl]

Muerte postuma

[@mikesmith8313]

i thought it was preoccupation with gangland murders, nasty homicides,reading the news, that was the initial inspiration for the song, as in 'fatality,reality,await the final call.'

[@allukopi1]

R.I.P. Slayer. Maybe the the best metal band ever.

Because Reign in Blood really is the soundtrack to the apocalypse. When this was written, from beginning to end, they had captured lightning in a bottle. This is basically the greatest speed metal CD every put out.

[@bloodline1389]

As a drummer, and the simple fact that dave was new to being back in the band at this time. I can tell he struggled a bit at the end here. Don't get me wrong, as time went on he made it look easier and easier, but it takes time for the muscle memory to come back when your playing in a band like Slayer \m/
