  • Let's hit one of the best songs of one of the best thrash metal bands in this part of the universe - Slayer! I love many albums by those guys, but “Seasons In The Abyss” (1990) is probably my most favorite since Tom, Kerry, Leff and Dave have surely gone a dozen of extra miles here to create not just another Slayer album, but a freaking masterpiece. The title track “Seasons In The Abyss” is a very smart one, slow intro goes straight into the classic fast thrash metal guitar massacre and then finally slows down for an epic outro. Also, I love how Tom Araya's voices (!) sound in the choruses, like a few demonic voices coming together in a dark dissonance.
    Speaking about the bass line it's not really difficult, but needs some practice. The part before the first verse can be a great warm-up exercise for your fingers. Enjoy :)

    Tom Araya, at the first section of the song, uses power chords to fill the low end. That's, IMO, a huge miss from this video.

      I didn't know that. I actually saw a few different tabs and a few different covers and nobody played it with power chords. Probably because the power chords on the 4th and 3rd bass strings can sound a bit dirty... Don't know :)

      @@BassVSZombies You can find the original bass track from Tom Araya in UA-cam here, by searching "Seasons in the Abyss Bass Only".
      Power chords can sound dirty but really bring the atmosphere for the first section.

      Yep, he's played power chords. It's a bit too late for this cover, but let this info stay here for other cover makers.

      The power chords bring an ambiance to the song since tom's bass rarely shines

      Wow! Thank you so much! And yeah, you're totally right, I made a mistake by not searching for the isolated bass track first. I just found 2 or 3 tabs, looked them all through and they didn't have chords so... yeah :) Happens. Thanks for correcting that!

      Thanks! Usually I google, find a tab and then fix what I I think was wrong in it. Or in some cases I do them myself by ear.

    Its hard to know what note is coming, if you don’t show them, until the second you hit them. Having to pause and rewind isn’t helpful.

      Thanks! I have to confess I didn't really try to do a special tone for this cover, I just played the part and that was it :) I started to work on my tone just like a couple of months ago and I still can't figure it out enough. I'd say I'm in the process.
