Slayer was also great fans of hardcore punk, influenced by the likes of Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, and The Misfits, and borrowed some of that music's emphasis on extremely fast tempos in many of their songs.
Slayer has found moderate commercial success and is known for their devoted cult following. Their lyrics and album art content (such as violence, serial killers, warfare and Satan) have occasionally generated strong criticism.
