South of Heaven or anything off that album

This is the classic Slayer line up including Dave Lombardo, widely recognised as the best thrash metal drummer around. I'd say South Of Heaven would be a great next choice. Mid tempo, killer riffs and some more great drum fills from Lombardo. Raining Blood is a classic song but probably too fast.

Dave Elson I think there is a few that can edge out Dave but he was and still to a degree fantastic which is saying something for his years in music and he alongside Kerry, Jeff (RIP) and Araya really pushed Slayer hard as a top band)

[@Dinosaurs_with_laser_guns]

Jeff Hannemann’s quite tame backing vocals in the chorus always make me cringe a little in this song. Other than that, this song is flawless.

[@camillahalverson6203]

South of Heaven, Live Undead or Mandatory Suicide.

[@CrabJuice83]

In terms of what you LIKE I'd say Dead Skin Mask would be the perfect next step, after doing South of Heaven. And just to throw it out there. You'll eventually do Raining Blood and when you do, you should (heavily) consider doing it as a double and do Postmortem first, as that song serves as a sort of intro to Raining Blood.

[@kdn525]

Dave Lombardo, The drummer that was going off, hes basically metal royalty

[@alexbaum2204]

Jason Hardy he is metal royalty. Pretty sure if a reliable poll were ever taken, he’d be the top drummer for the vast majority of metal fans. For me, it’s easy: he’s not just the greatest drummer of the genre, he is the greatest musician of the genre.

But on your journey to explore progressive music I strongly recommend HAKEN! I'm getting to know your taste and I think you'll love them instantly. Darkest light, Pareidolia, Lapse, Initiate... the list of recommended songs is endless. And if you are getting into something completely crazy, there's always IGORRR which blends electronic music with death metal and opera singing ahaha! Those same artists have another band called CORPO-MENTE which is more melodic and maybe more suitable for ears than Igorrr. I hope you'll enjoy this world of extraordinary and complex music!

[@kdn525]

War ensemble.. Next.. Its a must.. Crazy drums

[@YourGuitarPlayerAndSinger]

I'm glad you enjoyed Dave Lombardo's drumming that much. The man is a beast. If you want to appreciate songs like Angel of Death a bit more more, try to focus on the drums, it will help you to acquire the necessary taste to enjoy the other faster version of Slayer South of Heaven next

not sure if i'm speaking for others but for me its good to see the new generation appreciate different types of music and try to understand what it was that got us into metal. the music attracted people from all over the world despite cultural differences, need some good experiences & positive vibes more than ever now since these are crazy times. cheers from nyc.

[@cbassett35]

Yes logically South of Heaven is the next step!

[@fistfulmetal]

Excellent choice man. One of their best from one of their best albums that has many songs more to your tempo like "Skeletons Of Society". Definitely check out "South Of Heaven" next. A metal classic. For some people it does take some getting used to fast tempos but if you stick with it, especially in the thrash metal genre, you'll be glad you did. You should also react to "Raining Blood". It's a very fast song but it's another classic from Slayer.

[@Nekrovelho]

This album got me into Slayer completely back in the day ('90) - I had heard other tracks before but they didn't quite connect like this album and especially this track (and Dead Skin Mask) did. I soon went back and started to enjoy the other albums too. I recommend not going back to Reign in Blood yet and stay away from the "new" albums (anything post Seasons...) for now too, instead try something off the first album, it's very different from the following ones thanks to strong 'Maiden influence. "Black Magic" or "Die by the Sword" for more obvious picks, but I'd say "Metal Storm / Face the Slayer" or "Crionics" for unusual (and great!) choices!

[@Danne82]

First of all thanks for doing Slayer! Born 82 and this is my childhood!!! Drummer is Dave Lombardo! My hero! One of the absolut best in his gengre and is ground breaking aswell! What Ive heard hi has some kind of degree in drums nowdays. His bass drums is epic! Keep it up m8

[@asuka376]

You should react to "Clone" by Gojira.It's brutal.

[@aaronbanga3212]

Love that song, more switches and riffs than most bands can fit into an entire album. Not one of their best, but those first two albums show what promise that band had. And my god, did they fulfill that promise in all of the following albums 🤟

High school, 1995, borrowed my dad's pickup truck in a snowstorm so I could go see my girlfriend. We didn't really do much other than drive around listening to music. She was beautiful and my closest friend at the time. This song tends to bring back that memory.. no love songs for the damned. Single all these years later and I sooo wish I could relive that day... just driving around in the snow listening to slayer with my high school girlfriend.

[@ShmeeGrim]

Maybe check out a Dave Lombardo drum cam video? It's always so much fun watching him play. He plays so fast but makes it look completely effortless.

Hey Youngblood!! Glad you checked out this tune! Glad to see a young Irishman reaction!! I'm American but traced my family roots back to County Galway!! However, back to the music! I did post on your Angel of Death reaction but didn't see it there when I just checked (maybe because I didn't subscribe yet lol). I did suggest this one to you as others did BUT NOW, You have to Check out the TRILOGY videos by Slayer in this order as to know what's going on. First is "You Against You", then "Repentless" (very brutally graphic), then "Pride And Prejudice"!!! Can't Go Wrong!!

Raining blood and south of heaven, try some of the slower stuff from the first album, for example, try “the antichrist”

[@gandinisebastien1398]

Great video! In the 80's and 90's, Dave Lombardo was considered as being the best thrash-metal drummer. On the same album (Seasons in the Abyss, 1990): you can listen to : "Blood Red", "Dead Skin Mask", "Skeletons of Society", great songs with a good mid-tempo, "Temptation" (8th song) is a bit faster but still ok!! "South of Heaven", "Mandatory Suicide" , "Spill the Blood", "Divine Intervention", "213", "Die by the Sword", the first part of "Postmortem" are songs you will probably enjoy listening to...

[@213amp]

I was 18 and saw them live in concert with this tour, I got to see them a total of 15 times

[@MatthewP-Gr]

Oh, to hear those classic tracks for the first time. I envy you. I can still remember the first time I heard Metallica.

[@ToyutahLifein]

Guitarists Jeff and Kerry both play riffs and solos. They go back and forth on solos, probably more that any others. I'll just request the most recent one I like "World Painted Blood" is about 7 years ago with a cool animated video...

[@crungushakooter]

Hell yeah, it sounds like you found the best part about slayer: Dave Lombardo. The entire Seasons and South of Heaven albums are just so god damned groovy, and it's almost entirely because of Lombardo. There are some decent drumcams from the "Big 4 Yankee Stadium" concert if you want to see him in action

[@kylereece1979]

If you want to hear modern metal bands that sing, scream, and have long guitar solos that are melodic, masterful in musicianship, and take the song on an even bigger journey, I would go with Trivium. There are many many songs of theirs in this tempo from Slayer here that will appeal to you. And theres a right balance with them vocally between brilliant singing and shouting. Trivium have a few albums under their belt- with a brand new one comin out at the end of the month. You could start right up to date with a recent song "The Catastrophist". That has a huge chorus , massive solos, and a right balance of singing and shouty vocals here and there to punctuate the song further. Same too, for "What the dead men Say", from the forthcoming album. "The sin and the Sentence" . "Strife". I could bang on with even more songs from Trivium including their most viewed songs on here- but in terms of hearing a good balance for ya with singing, shouting, those are daycent to start with aswell. Yeah, Trivium. Gettem into ya, lad!😄 Also, to hear some good aul' Irish bands- you could hear some Primordial (Coffin Ships), or good aul' Thin Lizzy (Black Rose).

[@kirvergalarragacastro1448]
