Reccomend me some Slayer

[Keith Kannon]

I'm looking to listen to some Slayer, I've only really heard 'Raining Blood' so I'd like some recommendations on some of the other stuff. Thanks.

Just get the whole Reign in Blood album. Then buy the stuff with Dave Lombardo drumming.

My favourite Slayer albums are Reign in Blood, Seasons in the Abyss and South of Heaven. I'd say any of those three is a good place to start.

Favourite songs:

Angel of Death

Piece by Piece

Altar of Sacrifice

Jesus Saves

South of Heaven

Mandatory Suicide

War Ensemble

Spirit in Black

Skeletons of Society

Born of Fire

Seconded.

Also, check out their album Undisputed Attitude, which is a bunch of punk covers they did. I believe that these bands were influences on their music and style. It's a very good album.

Sticking with what hasn't been mentioned yet (though I'd wholeheartedly second most of the suggestions), Jihad, Skeleton Christ and Dead Skin Mask are favourites of mine.

Listen to whatever track you have, 8,000 times in a row. Then shave your head and get a shit load of tattoos so people will be afraid to tell you you suck.

Ok, they're not awful, but they do get awfully samey.

Well, I don't think Reign in Blood, Seasons in the Abyss and God Hates Us All, for instance, sound the same at all.

[Cactus Drags]

Yeah, but any band can have highlights. For the most part, I couldn't name most Slayer songs if you gave me a choice of three titles. Unless of course they sing the title, which'd be a pretty big clue.

[Cactus Drags]

There's that, but then there are plenty of bands that I'm not particularly keen on but could tell apart their songs. I think it's amplified because of how revered Slayer are, and I just don't see why.

You should get the Still Reigning DVD. You will appreciate Slayer even more.
