Slayer

Slayer (along with Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth and others) is often credited with creating American thrash metal by speeding up the sound of New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. 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. edit info
