    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.

    • @09mrhardabs

    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.

    • @jdpc9391
      @jdpc9391 6 років тому +4

      That's exactly it! It's thought to be monotone singing. Focusing on the lyrics. And Arya as that kind of voice where even if he is screaming, we can understand everything he says like he was talking. And a lot of song fell like he is talking with a screaming voice.

    I think that these guys really are the best of the best that the music reaction type of videos has to offer, giving their honest opinions about each song instead of appealing to the masses by saying they love a hugely popular song (ex. 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! Cheers for you two, I think I speak for the whole metal community when I say you are so welcome to explore everything this amazing genre has to offer!

  • @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!

    • @sambopow

      Yeh - mood piece - dramatic - the intro is a tribute to black Sabbath - have a listen to Sabbaths very first song - black Sabbath off the black Sabbath album.

    • @andrewhart9310
      @andrewhart9310 6 років тому +2

      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.

    @oneoveronethirtyseven9161 6 років тому +75

    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.

    @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

      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.

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 noticed you guys a short time ago and I got completely hooked. You guys rule!!! It's refreshing to see people listening to a different kind of music with an open mind. 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

    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".

  • @thorwulfx1
    @thorwulfx1 6 років тому +48

    In thrash metal, many bands steer away from the sort of soaring vocals that you might be hoping for. There is a punk aesthetic in the thrash metal bands that prefers "edge" over purity or vocal flourishes in the lyric line. Other types of metal, like classic heavy metal (Iron Maiden and Judas Priest) do have a strong drive for those soaring vocals. Power Metal can often have this, as well. A band you might check out is Manowar. Their singer has great range. "Hail and Kill" would be a good first intro, I believe.

    • @hmpz36911
      @hmpz36911 6 років тому +3

    Your initial thoughts are spot on,it is very cinematic. More so in the official video,the drums are showcased more in this album than in the previous albums. I reccomend doing a reaction to this video,its a completely different experience altogether. When you see how they physically poured their heart and soul into this song its easier to appreciate.

      They're like thrash purists so far, so maybe Fuckin' hostile, Shattered, Strength beyond strength... But Pantera without its groove isn't really Pantera...
      I'm Broken is an important song because it's about the serious back injuries Anselmo had at this moment, triple slipped discs for months, he couldn't stop the tour for it, so it leads to a lot a painkillers, and then to heroin, and then to Phil being an addict and a dickhead, and then to the end of Pantera and the death of Dime.

I love the super heavy groovy songs Pantera has like Suicide note pt 2 or Throes of Rejection, but we gotta ease the gas on these guys first. And I wanted to add my opinion on one thing like all of us idiotic metalheads do *irony I think Phil is a cool guy now, but back then he was a dickhead. But to be fair he really wasn't in the right state of mind. Okay I'm getting too preachy now. I'll stop...

    • @bascurero
      @bascurero 6 років тому

      It’s arguably the most accessible Slayer song. It’s heavy as hell, but it’s not super fast like the Reign in Blood stuff. It’s a good way for folks that can’t quite get into Reign in Blood to have a gateway. I got into metal in a similar way that these guys did. It’s awesome to see them have a positive reaction to this one.

    • @jeffrymkoopman
      @jeffrymkoopman 6 років тому

      Yes I actually got into rap (from metal) because of early Beastie Boys and P.E. I guess it depends on what rap they are listening to, from fast, angry pandemonic stuff like Public Enemy's 2nd and 3rd albums, to Slayer is a much smaller step than from laid back southern rap etc . Slayer also did a song called Disorder with Ice T on vocals on the Judgment Night soundtrack.

      @513studios 6 років тому +1

      Very true, that's why I tried to stick with songs that illustrated Mike Patton's vocal range without going over the top. I pretty much think that a new FNM listener might want to stay away from the early stuff until they can get a greater appreciation for what the band's song-writing ability is all about, imo. No offense to Chuck Mosley fans.

    • @NefariousKoel

      I'd probably put "From Out Of Nowhere" near the top of the list, among some others, for vocals and the transitions.
