Slayer's entrance into the major-label realm marked a milestone in metal history, delivering an unrelenting force that defines brutality. Their breakthrough album, "Reign in Blood," stands as a testament to uncompromising extremes, blending thrash with hardcore-punk influences. From supernatural terror to real-life horrors, tracks like "Necrophobic" and "Postmortem" showcase the quartet's sonic versatility. The gruesome epic "Angel of Death" vividly portrays Nazi butcher Josef Mengele, while the apocalyptic finale, "Raining Blood," harks back to Slayer's earlier semi-melodic style. Produced by Rick Rubin, this 28-minute onslaught, led by Dave Lombardo's relentless percussion, Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King's roaring guitars, and Tom Araya's maniacal vocals, solidifies Slayer's status as a band that genuinely sounds evil. "Reign in Blood" not only set a new standard but also inspired a legion of thrash- and death-metal enthusiasts eager to join the macabre journey.
