Your favorite Slayer songs?
I'm starting to understand the fascination - this really is more than headbanging, more than metal, more than the ultimate power trash metal band that's around for 27 years now.
This is something close to watching the painting of Hieronymus Bosch - decatent, nihilistic, brutal, violent - but truly artistic and truly fascinating.
Also, this is NOT a music that would make a strong first impression, and this is NOT a music that is easy to play, this is NOT a music that would be easy to criticize if you play or think you know shit about music.
My top 3 so far:
1) 213 from Divine Intervention (1994)
Although not Dave Lombardo - the drums are killing it and this is extremely epical and extremely great
2) Seasons in the abyss from 1990
Although massively overplayed, the song is just so written in the heavy metal history and I'm not fed up with that so far, plus it's one of the best music videos I've ever seen.
3) SS - 3 from Divine Intervention (1994)
Mainly as a combination of the great lyrics and evil music
I kind of love this whole album the most so far.
The albums I didn't listen that much yet are Diabolus in Musica and Christ Illusion, so I can't add from them, although Christ Illusion is a strong one so far.
This will definitely change over the course of time, any suggestions from more experienced Slayer experts?
