@Lucas T , trust me. It was intentional. There is literally 0% chance that he said that coincidentally. Do you really think that this 'Nik' guy just discovered this single song on its lonesome without any knowledge of the other tracks on the same album with a title (Reign In Blood) that is actually a play on words of the name of this song, that he has obviously listened to a countless number of times (because he's gone this far as to dissect, alter and recreate the structure and music writing of Raining Blood) to never have noticed the song "Piece By Piece", which immediately follows THE most popularly known song of all time by SLAYER, "Angel Of Death" in the track order on the same album? Yeah, sure...he knows this song all too well but, never heard the rest of the album or even what album this song was released on. Uh-huh, right... THAT could happen! S.M.M.F.D.H. 😜🤣😂
Please! That was effin sick! I love covers that are true to the original, but when you stay true to the song AND throw in some cool shit that fits? Awesome sauce!

You know, I get that I’m a boomer and I don’t expect to like all the modern metal stuff, and I made peace with it. What saddens my heart though is that everyone seems to have gone full Lars and completely abandoned the ride cymbal while overusing the crashes. A well used ride is the heaviest, nastiest and grooviest you can get in metal.
@@JacobsKrąnųg Yes! I’m with you! The grooves that Blood Red Throne throws around all the time (e.g Homicidal Ecstacy), the breakdown in Vomitory’s Serpents, main riff of New Level by Pantera, Darkside’s absolutely crazy ride work on MGLA’s Exercises in Futility V… I could go on forever
@@NikNocturnal I appreciate all the hard work that goes into your videos. I've tried doing what you do. There are a lot of obstacles you have to overcome, and you do it on a daily basis. A true inspiration! You're very talented at what you do, and you deserve all of our respect.
Awesome, the title of the song ...'Organized Static Distortion Noise'... thanks for reminding me why old metal is so much better and for curing my tinnitus with this white noise. Keep up the good work.
I fuking love SLAYER and I think you did amazing! Subscribed and excited to dissect your channel! Should LISTENED to this before work. BLOOD IS PUMPING!
I’m such a Slayer fan, and watching this makes me laugh so much 🤣🤣. It’s so friggin ridiculous that I absolutely love this hahaha. Thanks for adding to my killer weekend hahaha SLAYER!!!!
Hey Nick you should Do like Oldies too, Like Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Maybe Van Halen (not as classic but You get what I’m saying) and turn them Djenty Also you should genuinely make an Album with the 2021 covers but with cover vocals too
This is amazing😂 I think making an AC/DC song absurdly heavy would be a good video to do. Do something like thunderstruck or back in black but modernize it
PLZ PUT THESE ON SPOTIFY in my opinion (as a peroson who hasn’t been a metal perosn that long) I really enjoy these “remakes” they make them a lot heavier and sometimes even more funny😂 ik some of y’all are gonna disagree but that’s my opinion (also maybe apple music😳)
I didn't disagree with anything except your openness of being new to the genre. Maybe keep that to yourself if you dont want your opinions picked apart. Say shit with conviction. Fake it till you make it kiddo
@notwastd without fakeness, metal would sound like pure cymbal crashes and the occasional undistorted pluck of a high e string on guitar. I get what you're saying I just like being a contrarian
Just gonna thrown this out I'm with you in this opinion, honestly, iron man in the new version for me is really awesome, but as a person who listens to metal for at least 10 years, don't talk about this with everyone, some people are really annoying to new things. But at the same time, every community has it's toxic side, but if your friends have a similar taste or an open mind, just go with it, good luck my friend
Hey Nik this is cool as fuck! I wanted to ask, As someone who is always practicing my mixing and looking for new challenges it would be killer if you would consider sharing the multitracks on occasion to something like this. Perhaps the unprocessed guitar stems and the midi bass/ drums tracks so we can use our own drums and bass plugins for those instruments. I think it would be a great way to interact with your followers, along with gaining some more subscribers that mix like myself (there are a lot of us) who are always looking for heavy music to practice the art of mixing with. We can post the mix on UA-cam and tag you which helps spread your channel too. Anyways keep crushing it I enjoy you content dude!
lately ive been wanting a Nik Nocturnal cover of raining blood so badly just so i could watch him do the part at 5:33 also this def sounds like something slipknot would make with all those pinch harmonics
Bro, i need more thrash influence on my everyday djent. The boomers would love, for sure Btw, i would find really interesting if you tried to do the same thing with Rush Cygnus X-1 book 1. I know, i sound like a boomer, but that song, specially the first five minutes or so, would be really interesting with all the modern metal stuff. Great video nik, as always!
You talking about picking hand fatigue reminded me of an interview with Kerry King saying how he can only play this song about once a week due to how taxing it is.
EDIT: This track is now available on Spotify and other streaming/download platforms!
Smash like and comment which other classic I should ruin :D
