ngl thinking this is better than Rust in Peace is even more insane than me thinking it’s mid



I never really got into Slayer as much, Anthrax either. I think there’s a number of 80’s thrash bands that are better than both. Death Angel is better than both tbh

Album Rating: 4.7

I'd take this band's first 5 albums over any Megadeth album tbh.

Album Rating: 4.5

I love both records but taking this one all day yea

Album Rating: 4.7

I've never had any desire to return to any Megadeth album in about 15 years tbh lmao. They've just never done it for me.

Album Rating: 3.0

shit is Voivod really considered thrash? That’s the best old school thrash band ez



And ya hawks I guess slayer is to me what Megadeth is to you then. I’ve never gotten the hype with these guys outside of a few killer tracks

Album Rating: 5.0

idk how someone like you can dig so much early metalcore but not dig this. half those riffs are plagiarized from this!

Album Rating: 4.7

Yep, sounds like that is indeed the case.

converge owe their early career and rise to this album

Album Rating: 4.5

This and Age of Quarrel are the early metalcore blueprints agreed

Album Rating: 5.0

never got into early hardcore but i def should considering how influential it was. crossover thrash too. need to jam more of that. slayer riffs just go so hard man.

Album Rating: 4.7

I'm no expert on crossover thrash, but Suicidal Tendencies' debut is essential.

Album Rating: 4.5

A lot of my appreciation for more traditional/old school hardcore came from going to local shows. There's just an energy it brings out that you can't get anywhere else. It's also one of those genres where you don't need to be the most technical/musically proficient to make some kick ass tunes

Seconding Suicidal's debut and Lights Camera Revolution

“converge owe their early career and rise to this album”

Pretty sure Kurt literally would admit that lmao, yeah idk man. There’s a lot of solid riffs but the solos just ain’t it. I really don’t think I’ve ever heard a Slayer solo and went “fuck yeah”. Also any time they varied it up it went over like a lead balloon… the band isn’t very versatile either imo



But I mean look how many people love them, what the fuck do I know. I still like a bunch of their songs but I could not do a discog run for these guys, I’d tap out before I even finished Hell Awaits

Album Rating: 5.0

i love kerry king's schizophrenic nightmare solos. fits this album so well. just pure cacophony of noise and chaos.

Album Rating: 4.7

Noisy and chaotic are the perfect ways to describe this lol.

Album Rating: 4.5

slayers solos peaked on their first album

Album Rating: 3.0

It’s been years since I jammed early slayer, like probably high school tbh… maybe I’ll give it a shot sometime soon
