      I know what you mean up until two years ago I discovered I have an uncle who was around during golden age of hardcore and plays bass too. I found the other black sheep of the family.

  • @ErikB71
    @ErikB71 3 роки тому +10

    I've always thought that Araya is the best damn thrash metal singer in the genre. The way he spits out all those hellish lyrics with such furious aggression and intensity - nobody can top that. His vocals are the perfect fit for the extreme intensity of Slayer's music. Slayer is such a great band because it has the full package - great guitar riffs, amazing drumming and then amazing vocals and lyrics too. You put all that together and it creates such a powerful effect.
