"Angel of Death" from Slayer's "Reign in Blood" album (1986).
Here's some more SLAYER. You asked for Angel of Death so here you go. This one is more difficult than Raining Blood in my opinion. Especially when the song speeds up by like 500% before the outro. I advise you to use a thin/smaller pick for this song and not a big one. Like, not the one Shavo from SOAD uses. Anyway, lots of fast changes so knowing the song well will help.
Some important information that nobody is going to read.
Tuning: D#-G#-C#-F#
Artist: Slayer
Bassist: Tom Araya
Album: Reign in Blood (1986)
Song: ANGEL OF DEATH
Bass: Warwick GPS Corvette 5A Ash

I finally know what Tom is doing while he AAAAAAAAAAAA

[@captainchunk4078]

This is one of the most bad ass set of riffs ever. It’s not just one fat riff , there’s a couple in here. I’m not a massive Slayer fan but they have some absolute masterpieces

[@Cheeseburgerman23]

I’m surprised you could tab anything from the isolated track, Araya’s tone is mighty farty on this record.
Also,
SLAYYYEERR!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

True lol, what a tone..

[@superkingytp5482]

it's basically just 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0, but how it can be so good... Masterpiece

[@altallica4546]

🙏🙏🙏

[@marlana000]

Cool cover. Do you think you could try some Manowar? Something like Battle Hymn or Gates of Valhalla. The bass is absolutely killer on those songs!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks! I'll see what I can do for you. Haven't covered any Manowar yet so that could be interesting

[@marlana000]

Awesome thank you!

[@oskarjonsson9117]

Could do a vid on jason newsteds for whom the bell tools intro at woodstock i think its 94 ot one of if not the best intro for that song ever (imo)

[@ektorcuesta2923]

nah the best one is day at the green 85

[@Mamba1297]

Nailed it 👏. Would love to see you cover any song from the "Christ Illusion" album(supremist/jihad/cult).

[@micahjurisch-switzer1794]

Can you do Bonded by Blood or Toxic Waltz by Exodus

[@andreaswehrmann365]

March to the kingdom of the dead!

[@gplog7197]

Do you have any tip for downtunnig and still sounding so clear?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

This was quite a "high" tuning when it comes to downtuning. But generally, it helps to use very thick strings.

[@gplog7197]

@@LeoBassCovers2 thanks ✌

[@briocheman21]

Did tom araya use fingers on this album?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Probably not for this song or at least not the ending. I know he played with fingers on Raining Blood but this one is a bit too fast too play with fingers while singing.

[@ripperplaysclon152]

By Reign in Blood, he was using a pick.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

If you listen to the official Raining Blood bass track, you can hear that it's being played with fingers :)

[@gnarlywagner8171]

See you tomorrow

[@captainchunk4078]

Oh F yeah (looses mind running around moshing)
Love this riff. Sad lyrical content however.
