What can be said about SLAYER? If your a fan of heavy metal music, there is NO BAND heavier than SLAYER!! They have produced 13 of the heaviest albums on the planet. From the debut of " Show No Mercy" in 1983 to "Soundtrack to the Apocalypse" in 2003, SLAYER has been a pounding force in music. My first SLAYER purchase was 1985's "Hell Awaits" and I've been a huge fan ever since. I've seen SLAYER live 3 times and let me tell ya, again, there is not a band on the earth that can "GO" as hard as these guys.
Tom Araya- Bass and Vocals: Araya has the most intense, blood curdling voice I have ever heard. His screams will make the hair on the back of your neck, not only stand up, but fall the fuck off!
Kerry King- Guitar: the man behind the heavy crunch!!
Jeff Hanneman- Guitar: the fastest lead solos around!
Dave Lombardo- Without a doubt, the BEST drummer out there! This guy plays a double bass like its free, like he has 4 legs! Just intense!!
SLAYERS most popular album and best IMO, is 1986's REIGN IN BLOOD. This is the album that put SLAYER on the map!
From "Angel of Death" to "Reign in blood" this album kicks your ass!
SLAYER, to me, has always been the type of band that will make you want to chop off your best friends head and hand it back to him wrapped in a Christmas bow!
They have enjoyed great success here in the states, but they are HUGE in Europe, so I expect some of our overseas friends to chime in here.
If you have never heard or experienced SLAYER do it!! Grab the "Soundtrack to the Apocalypse" its a 4 cd collection of their best tunes. Believe me it'll blow the cones off your speakers.
