    Raining Blood is a legendary song, but what people fail to understand is that it's not exactly the best song to introduce people to who normally don't listen to more extreme metal. I'm glad they gave Slayer a second chance though!! Great follow up song!!

    The lyrics are supposedly about Ancient Egypt, sometimes the Pharaoh's servants, were sealed in the Pharaoh's tomb, alive. The lyrics are about the servants going insane in there. They are given enough food to survive in there for 4 seasons, in the darkness, until they die. Hence, Seasons in the Abyss. *Update, Tom Araya said the lyrical inspiration came from a Stephen King book, but he didn't say which one.

      Also wanted to add how cool it is that when you guys try a new band and don't like the song you don't just say, " Nope , not for me. " You guys give it another chance with a different song. Not every song a band puts out is going to appeal to everyone. Then there are also some songs and artists I started out not not liking at first then kind of just grew on me.

    The drummer, Dave Lombardo, is without a doubt one of the best drummers out of the 80s and early 90s metal scene. Nowadays there are legions of drummers who are equally or more technically proficient, but Dave Lombardo has a certain feel to his playing that's hard to replicate, and I haven't heard many people who play like him naturally. He is without a doubt one of the most influential metal drummers ever.

    The thing about Slayer is... it's supposed to sound like Hell, in a very literal sense. The combination of Kerry King's screaming and wailing guitar is offset by Tom Araya's sort of monotone, droning vocals. It adds an appropriate melancholy.

Raining Blood). More often than not they search up the lyrics and are talking about the actual musical composition of the songs on a way deeper level than most!

Regarding the RAINING BLOOD REACTION I felt it was too extreme to your "untrained" ears. Being a hardcore metal fan for over 35 years and having witnessed the birth of thrash metal I would recommend 2 other songs form Slayer - CHEMICAL WARFARE and AT DAWN THEY SLEEP. These are seminal songs from the golden era of thrash. Keep up the free thinking. Cheers!!!

    The sound you are describing as "distorted reality" is actually called "dissonance" in music. The guitar at the beginning was going flat and sharp with slow string bends or whammy pressure, leaving the key the song is in, just enough to create that dissonance, or uneasiness in the music, and yes, a sort of distorted reality... It gives the intro a sort of, creeping insanity feel to it. The idea behind the song is spending time inside an insane reality in your head. There's a story behind the insane reality, but someone already commented that...lol

  • @andrewhart9310
    @andrewhart9310 6 років тому +106

    Early on, you guys nailed this: it's a "mood" piece. It isn't overly complicated; it's about nailing the overall feeling of a very dark, brooding piece of classic metal.
    The droning aspect to the chorus is, I feel, just part of that mood. It's monotonous, detached, unemotional. It's a matter-of-fact recitation of the experience of someone else dying. It's a serial killer watching their victim, a demon not relishing in the pleasures of the act, but simply doing what it does. It's gross, it's sick, and I think it's effective. It's also, like you mentioned, a bit of a let-down compared to the incredible drumming and the darkly sick riffs throughout the song.
    As an old-school headbanger - which you guys super aren't, and that's 100% OK - I obviously am biased. This happens to be my favorite overall Slayer album, too. I think you guys did it justice, though.
    Glad you guys liked this; cheers!

      I think I concur with that. Granted, utilizing the devil's triad predates Sabbath (albeit not in metal), and in and of itself is very common in metal. However, the entire piece is mood-oriented, and I do agree with you that Sabbath is an undeniable influence.

  • @Sam-cv6un
    @Sam-cv6un 6 років тому +76

    I respect your opinion and totally get where you're coming from with the longing for more melody in metal vocals but in Slayer's case, I actually think it works very well. Most of their songs are not meant to sound beautiful. A good comparison I often hear is that Slayer and metal bands like them are the horror movies of music. They make entertainment out of terror and morbid subject matter so beautiful/melodic voices are going to be far less common in this area of metal (though not unheard of).
    For the specifics of this song, I don't think of the vocals on this as flat, but rather that they are emulating droning, wailing voices from the abyss they are trying to paint a picture of with this song. The off key wails (like when he sings "go insane") just add to this, making everything feel even more distorted. For me, this is far more entrancing than a pretty voice singing the same thing.
    P.S. You guys are still amazing and I'm glad you like the song. Thanks for giving this great band another shot!

    • @uoabigaillevey
      @uoabigaillevey 6 років тому +4

      Could not have explained it better to them myself. His vocals are just chilling in counterpoint to the music. Adds soo much to the atmosphere of their songs. Could not see a melodic singer.. even one as talented as Dio filling this role as well.. tho I could be wrong lol.

    • @HammSilv
      @HammSilv 6 років тому +4

      @jmha2428 6 років тому +1

    • @AgesofAges
      @AgesofAges 6 років тому +2

      Outstanding comment! This is exactly it! They are painting a certain picture here, and the vocals are perfect for the particular type of imagery they are displaying. It is a "horror" type of art and I personally think the vocals are right on point! Again, your comment explains it much better than I could, great job!

    • @antivalidisme5669
      @antivalidisme5669 6 років тому +2

      Damn you explained what I feel so well! I still remember the day when I bought this LP back in fall 1990 and though I'm an atheist, this album has still been some sort of religious experience to me and Tom vocals in this part of "Seasons..." sound to me like some sort of disembodied chant and suit the song very well.

    I appreciate what you guys are doing, actually giving metal a chance and giving an honest opinion of the structure of the songs rather than just being scared away by the noise. I think it's difficult to judge a metal song in a single listen. As a metal fan myself, some of my favorite songs and albums I did not necessarily like on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th listen, yet I kept coming back because of something about them that held my interest. Alot (certainly not all, but alot) of metal takes some time to digest and really "get" because there is so much going on, you can't necessarily take all of it in on the first few listens. That's one of the things I really enjoy about good metal. It's deep and you can be listening to a song you've heard dozens of times before and all of a sudden notice some new facet of it that you had somehow previously overlooked.

  • @Volcrain

    In my opinion the quintessential Slayer Track is "Angel of Death" from the Reign in Blood Album... which is in the argument for top thrash album of all time. It is absolutely iconic. Their later work has never quite matched the pure aggression of that one. Raining Blood is a pretty good track, but "Angel of Death" will light.. you... on... FIRE. Even if you didn't do a vid on it, you should check it out. It's like trying to judge the work of NWA without listening to "Straight outta Compton".

Hard music is hard music, in any genre, is the fundamental lesson I guess because that's the aspect of each of those things that I like, just that hard groove.

      By far my favorite album of theirs. Maybe my favorite metal album of all time

      My "go to" Slayer album will always be South of heaven, but Seasons is no 2 for sure!

      After the first gulf war, slayer did a concert he said.. "This is for all our friends that returned back safely from the Persian gulf, it's a song about freedom of choice, expendable youth.

    I thoroughly enjoy watching you guys. You remind me a lot of how me and my buddy would be if we did song reactions. Much respect.
    It may not be a popular request, but the thrash metal band "Havok" has a style and approach that I think you guys would like. Maybe you could do one of their songs? If you do, I suggest "Ritual of the Mind" or "From The Cradle to the Grave." It'd be super fuckin awesome if you could hook that up.
    Stay cool, fellas!

      Has to be live, too. Maiden has to be experienced live.

      The reaction video would be an hour. Stopping at every “transition “. Song is 13 min. I can see an edit after the poem though

      i think if you listen to the studio version first and then the live, you appreciate the difference. As a fan of the channel and Maiden i greatly approve of this request, shit i dont use twitter so someone get this request on there.

    I VERY HIGHLY recommend Children of Bodom. Melodic, catchy, EXCELLENT guitar and drum work.
    "Are You Dead Yet" would be great to start off with.

      Anything from Follow The Reaper, hands down their best album.
