[QUOTE]no only reign in blood and G.H.U.A. do you recomend sesons in the abyss for me?[/QUOTE]
Get any of the first five. Preferably Hell Awaits and Show No Mercy.

[QUOTE=The Masked Guitarist]no only reign in blood and G.H.U.A. do you recomend sesons in the abyss for me?[/QUOTE]
Yes I do. :)

Seasons is a pretty good album. If you like South of heaven, then you'll like Seasons. It has Dead skin mask which is a really great song. War ensemble is good also.

Five slayer Albums to get for begginners:
1.Reign in Blood
2.GHUA
3.Seasons in the abyss
4.Hell awaits
5.Show no Mercy

5. South Of Heaven[/QUOTE]

You have to get SOH. It's too important of an album to pass by. Just because it's not as heavy as RIB or Hell Awaits, it's still showing the other side of Slayer. It's showing they can be melodic, show a slower tempo, and they can still be really heavy.

GHUA I wouldn't even touch.

I'm bored so I'm gonna name my top five favorite Slayer songs.

At Dawn They Sleep
Haunting The Chapel
Angel Of Death
Mandatory Suicide
War Ensemble

Runners Up:
Silent Scream
Hell Awaits
Praise Of Death
Black Magic
Raining Blood

At Dawn They Sleep
Haunting the Chapel
Necrophiliac
Angel of Death
The Antichrist

Hmm, my top are:

The Antichrist
Angel of Death
War Ensemble
Piece by Piece
Black Magic

Chemical Warfare
Angel Of Death
Necrophiliac
Altar Of Sacrifice
Die By The Sword

Yeah, I like Die By The Sword. I haven't really heard Chemical Warfare though. What's the meaning of the song?

I found this on Slayer saves, it's talking how their new album could be their fastest yet. We'll see.


The last time speed-metallers Slayer released an album's worth of new material, it came in the form of God Hates Us All and arrived on shelves the morning of September 11, 2001.

So bass-wielding frontman Tom Araya understandably feels some apprehension about Slayer's forthcoming, still-untitled disc, which they're still working on in Los Angeles with producer Josh Abraham (Staind, Velvet Revolver). The finished product will be preceded by a digital release on June 6 (making Slayer one of several metal bands who just can't pass up the opportunity for a 6/6/06 release date).

"I'm hoping that whenever it comes out, nothing major happens," Araya said. "It's like, 'I wonder what's going to happen this time around?' "

The CD should surface in late July, he said, and feature the tracks "Cult," "Catalyst," "Catatonic" and "Jihad." At this stage, seven weeks into recording, five of the album's 11 tracks are finished and about to be put through the mixing process. Slayer still need to put the finishing touches on the remaining songs, but Araya expects the band will be finished with everything in the next week or so.

"This album is actually like a culmination of everything we've done," Araya said. "There's one song that I'm thinking will surprise everybody, because of the song itself. I'm not going to say why, because you have to keep that element of surprise, dude. Musically, it's going to blow everybody away. It's going to trip everyone out. It has all the elements of everything we've done. No one's going to be disappointed with this record. It's fast, heavy - maybe faster than anything we've done before. It's going to be brutal. It's what everyone expects from a Slayer record."

A track called "Eyes of the Insane," Araya said, is perhaps the most political song on the album. The song was inspired by an article he'd read in an issue of Texas Monthly magazine.

"The song's about the effects of war on some of these soldiers," he said. "This article - and it was a pretty trippy article - it really affected me. The entire magazine was devoted to soldiers of this new Iraq conflict that's going on. The effect that the war has had on some of these kids who're coming home and having a tough time dealing with what they've seen - I mean, some of these kids are traumatized and mentally destroyed by what they've seen. The magazine also ran an entire list of the soldiers from Texas who've died. It was several pages with pictures of these kids. It blew my mind."

The rest of the album's lyricism is standard Slayer fare: "Hate, religion - that kind of stuff," Araya said.

This summer, Slayer will preview new material on the road as part of their closing set on each night of the Unholy Alliance Tour. The run kicks off June 6 in San Diego and wraps up July 22 in Long Beach, California. Treks in Europe, Japan, Australia and South America will follow.

Let the hype begin...

and SS, you haven't heard Chemical Warfare before?!? :eek:

Nah, I haven't. I never picked up Haunting the Chapel so I don't know too many songs on there. Since people are saying it's good, I'll for sure go listen to it.

Haunting The Chapel is probably their 3rd best.

i got hell awaits its oookkkk but reign in blood is soooo much better but HA is better than GHUA so good buy i guess

What album's Chemical Warfare and Haunting The Chapel on?

both on haunting the chapel ep

Ugh Dang.

[QUOTE=Stoo]What album's Chemical Warfare and Haunting The Chapel on?[/QUOTE]
Haunting the Chapel was a CD. It's not just a song title. There isn't a lot of tracks on in. Four or 5 I think.

four.

[B][U]Top Five Songs:[/U][/B]
1.) Dead Skin Mask

5.) Chemical Warfare

I wonder what the guys looked like when they were like..three years old. Strange to think about.

I think it's just too hard to choose only 5 top slayer songs. And Mandatory Suicide > Silent Scream.

I never liked Mandatory Suicide much, cool title though.

[QUOTE]four.[/QUOTE]
Three, actually. Aggressive Perfector is a bonus track on the re-releases.

so it's four.

[QUOTE]so it's four.[/QUOTE]
but Aggressive Perfector wasn't part of the original release, so it doesn't count.

(Kerry is on the far right)

I must say, I laughed when I first saw that.

The main reason he looks kinda gay these days is because he's getting fat.

Yeah, he's really letting himself go.

Slayer should join the Celebrity Fit Club show on VH1. :lol:

Oh man, can't say that with a straight face.

:p :) :lol: yea

haha that would be funny. he's not properly fat is he?[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]but Aggressive Perfector wasn't part of the original release, so it doesn't count.[/QUOTE]
ok cool

He's like my dad, and my dad is fat.

OH MY GOD. I would laugh so hard. I can imagine Kerry just screaming because he didn't hit is weight-loss goal...god.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]I never liked Mandatory Suicide much, cool title though.[/QUOTE]

I'm not big on that song either, but I dig the solo and intro to that song.

Mandatory Suicide is easily one of my favourite Slayer songs. Abit short though, and they could have done more of the song instead of that wierd bit at the end.
