    I can say this is the only song that freaked me out on first listen. I was 17 years old in 1990. I had just bought this album on cassette. I got home and popped it into my walkman. Laid down listening to it. I was partially asleep when dead skin mask came on. I was jolted fully awake when the child/female voice screamed "let me out now!" I will never forget that experience. To this day, Seasons in the Abyss is my favorite album - followed by Megadeth - Rust in Peace, Metallica - Master of Puppets, Sepultura - Chaos AD, and Anthrax - Persistence of Time.

    Aileen, what I can say? You dig Slayer completely! Try 'Seasons in the Abyss' from this album (their fifth album), or 'South of heaven' from their fourth album. In this 'South of heaven' album, which came right after Reign in blood, they decided to slow down the tempo - Reign in blood was superfast, 10 songs in 29 minutes :)... Their drummer, Dave Lombardo, who left a band several times, after slayer (among many other bands) played in Fantomas, an out-of-this-world superband made of Mike Patton from Faith no more, Buzz from Melvins and Trevor from Mr. Bungle... You will not hear anything more sick than FANTOMAS, believe me! Try their's 'The Godfather'...

    This song is a BEAST! Thanks for another great reaction, you awesome metal babe! One really creepy bit about this song is that the girl is begging to "Mr Gein" right, as in Ed Gein the serial killer? However when you listen to it, she might as well be begging to "Mr. King" ie Kerry King, the guitarist of the band. When all is said and done, I find it funny that people get their butts in a twist about music lyrics being horrific, but not about movies depicting the same things. It is as if it comes closer to reality with music than with movies, especially if the band playing the music has this stage persona to fit the lyrics.. When in essence this is just horror depicted through music rather than film. It just shows what great actors the members of the band is to make their take on horror more realistic than horror movies.

    Yeah, the whole satanic thing with Slayer and various other bands baffled me for years. For me, I get it. The artwork, upside down crosses, pentagrams, songs about serial killers, Nazi doctors, war, death etc... it's all part of the bigger picture that shows us all the evils in our world, both in the past and today. That's what the real message is, not that we're evil, we're satanic or whatever else.

    Another good song from that album from Slayer was called Temptation, because of the awesome drumming .

    This is my favorite Slayer song ever. Seasons of The Abyss should be listed in its entirety. South of Heaven should be next. I’m glad that you are enjoying Slayer. Killer reaction as always.

    Aileen - have you heard Anthrax yet? They are just as legendary as Slayer and were NYC hardcore thrash guys. Influential in their own right in the genre at the time. Slayer is my favorite thrash band, but Anthrax is a close second. Metallica and Megadeth stole the spotlight and left these gems grinding away less noticed.
    Fistful of Metal and Spreading the Disease were their first 2 albums - really captured the raw thrashcore sound.
    Among the Living was really their refined sound - check out Caught in a Mosh, Efilnickufesin (N.F.L.), or Indians for a great intro!!!

    Great reaction, you are right about the meaning of slayer songs. Shock factor was what drove them but also real life stuff like "mandatory suicide " about young people who are sent to war.

    Dead Skin Mask was inspired by serial Killer Ed Gein. Slayer's sound is perfect for approaching the subject. Ed used to keep body parts in the fridge and even made lamp shades with the skin of his victims. Now that you're here I promise I won't keep you long. I'll keep you forever! Love it!

    Check out Slayer’s song Gemini (about the Zodiac serial Killer)….one of their slower (but INTENSE) songs that keeps building up more and more until an almost frantic finish!! A song they rarely played live until the last leg of their farewell tour, but we all went nuts when they started playing it!! Amazing drums throughout!

    Through the years it became clearer and clearer that Lombardo was the drumming heart of the band. He's really unmatched at what he does and I can instantly recognize his style and sound, no matter where he plays: Testament, Grip Inc, Philm (highly recommending you to give an ear to the last two) - you name it. The last album with him "World Painted Blood" is a clinic and by far my favorite in the newest Slayer era - the title track, "Hate Worldwide", "Americon" - you name it.

    Slayer is essential in the metal scene. Their sound is raw and deep. When Tom Araya brings with his powerful voice a real signature not to mention Kerry King on guitar. This is one of my 10 favorite bands

  • @michaelreusserii2085
    @michaelreusserii2085 2 роки тому

    War ensemble, seasons in the abyss,mandatory suicide, he'll awaits, expendable youth,and postmortem are excellent songs to play

  • @m.ericwatson968
    @m.ericwatson968 2 роки тому

    Tom Araya has always been my fave guy in Slayer, without him, it just wouldn't be Slayer; his vocal delivery is so direct and kind of snarky, like some madman running up, telling you some crazy tale of human excess and madness, then merely laughing and walking away. And Dave Lombardo on drums, Paul Bostaph is incredible in his own right and crafted some epic Slayer songs with them but Lombardo is fucking legend!
