Rough Trade Essential

Slayer is a legendary thrash metal band that was formed in 1981 by Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman, Dave Lombardo, and Tom Araya. Hailing from Huntington Park, California, USA, the group's name is an acronym for "Satan Laughs As you Eternally Rot." Their debut album featured this acronym on its vinyl runout and it was also mentioned in the lyrics of their song "Live Undead." With their intense sound and powerful lyrics, Slayer quickly became known as one of the pioneers of thrash metal.

Throughout their career, Slayer released numerous albums that showcased their raw talent and dark themes. Their music resonated with fans around the world who were drawn to their aggressive style and thought-provoking lyrics. In January 2018, the band announced that they would be embarking on a final tour before officially disbanding in November 2019.

Despite their end as a band, Slayer's impact on the metal genre continues to be felt today. They have left behind a legacy of influential music that will forever be remembered by fans and fellow musicians alike. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the world of thrash metal, exploring Slayer's discography is an essential journey for any lover of heavy music.

Slayer took the leap to the big leagues with this, in the same way Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax all did with their second albums. The only difference was this was Slayer's third album, the previous two, Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits both plagued by rough production which thwarted Slayer from sounding as brutal as they should have been. Reign In Blood put matters straight, as Rick Rubin's production put them over the top, with a precise and clean sound few have ever topped. This is the way to make a thrash album. Ten tracks clocking in at twenty eight minutes, all fast, an easy way to make an impact and a point. Overnight acts like Celtic Frost, Bathory, and Destruction were made to look as crude as they were, while Exodus, Metallica and Anthrax seemed tame by comparison. Hanneman and King established themselves as thrash's premier guitar duo, and rightfully so, the level of twisted genius running through Necrophobic, Criminally Insane and Angel of Death something they themselves had trouble topping. A glorious reaffirmation of how superior 80's metal was.
