- Re-up from 2017.
When I started doing these acoustic covers in August 2016 I originally thought I'd stay away from the obvious, big songs. Well, this is probably the biggest Slayer song ever, or at least it's in the All Time Top 3, but I think I managed to turn it into something very different. It's kind of like a cross between the original and Dream On by Depeche Mode, or at least that was the general idea at the time.
I figured it would be more polarizing than it turned out to be.
RIP Jeff Hanneman

the only slayer cover to which we cant headbang but still simply brilliant.

Thanks for your kind words!
Totally Ghost.
Thanks for listening! Yes, some of the vocal phrasing is deliberately Tobias-esque (like the word "eternity" in the last verse). But mostly I was trying to do it like the Depeche Mode song Dream On from 2001 :)
I love how you did this. Like ghost, you take music with extremely dark, brutal themes, and sing them as if they were sung in a Sunday school, for the damned. I love the atmosphere you created. Haunting, beyond desperate, but more like you have accepted your fate. If you were to be a narrator, I'd picture a soul/spirit, stuck on this earthly plain. Sorrowfully lamenting about the futility of existence to anyone who might hear your lamenting howls in the wind, in a nuclear winter hellscape, echoing through leafless trees and the bare skeleton shells of humanities crumbling creations.
I’d love to see the chords/tab to this version. Available?
Hey thanks for your interest. I don’t have any tabs but as I’ve had a couple of other requests I might make them at some point.
This version is like 5+ years old so I’ll have to figure out how I played it, I don’t remember anymore 😅
Love it 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Thanks for checking it out!
Genial 😍
Thanks!
He took away what made the song great. Not my cup of tea
That’s fair, my version is very different. Thanks for giving it a listen anyway!
@@JeffVicario you’re a great musician though
Aw, thanks! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
