I was a junior in college when this song came out, still living at home. My dad would hand me a can of Raid and disappear, telling my mom, “He’s gonna start playing that crazy noise through his Walkman. We’ll come back in half an hour to see if he nuked himself…”
Still absolutely blows my mind how ridiculously fucking heavy and brutal this track is for the year it came out. Like was miles ahead of ANYTHING else at the time
@@MDK2_Radio Sodom in the sign of evil ep was way more heavy and brutal also, first bathory album, sentence of death by destruction and morbid tales by celtic frost were brutal as fuck too and they were all realesed in 84. I believe those bands were way more extreme and ahead of their time than slayer was.
@The Boeing Kid number of the beast realesed in 1982 not 84. A good album but not so heavy and brutal compared to sodom, destruction, celtic frost, bathory or slayer
Fun fact: Andreas Kisser of Sepultura admitted that he tried to write his version of Chemical Warfare on the “Schizophrenia” album with “From The Past Comes The Storms”.
@@HighBestkillerROBLOX Watch the SepulQuarta Storytellers video with Andreas regarding Schizophrenia. He said that song was his first contribution to the band on a demo of the same name.
The most blasting song ever made by Slayer. Not the heaviest Not the deepest Not the darkest But definitely the one that will make you headbang the most
@@martinberthiaume4971 my brother introduced me to slayer at the age of 7 so it's been my absolute favorite since then, none came even close, so yeah i rock every track of em
When that came out after show no mercy I can tell you that this was " the real arrival of Slayer" . Show no mercy was great don't get me wrong but it was a very clean cut sounding album this on the other hand was something else
@@sagenecro nah, cause germs and viruses are produced naturally. they aren't manmade in a lab by mad scientists. therefore a manmade "virus" would constitute more so as a chemical.
When Scott Ian used to say, and laugh "Slow ass Slayer!", Lol! After "Reign In Blood" was released he was a fan boy! I love Scott, but I'll never forget his distaste! Some words are never forgotten!🤘🤘
I'm old enough, I thought kill em all was the heaviest thing I ever heard. Then I found out about this and morbid tales by Celtic Frost. KIA started gathering dust.
I actually do remember when this came out (I was in Junior High at the time). And as much as I liked this song, I personally felt that Haunting The Chapel was better, but that's just my opinion. But regardless, still one of my favorite Slayer songs.
@@ryanmozert Don't insult trans girls like that LMAO. I for one have been obsessed with Slayer since I was 12, It started with Raining Blood, now every album is cranked up to 11, except Divine Intervention, that's a pick and play album for me XD
@@ryanmozert Ooooffft, wrong comment section, I apologize for this severe lapse in brain activity, hopefully this will provide onlookers with a good laugh lol
@@DemonDog444 The spirit of what they stood for won't die, is a more correct statement. Which is basically implied when anyone says Slayer will never die.
According to Loudwire's Wikipedia Fact or Fiction with Gene Hoglan, he was holding the kit in place while Dave Lombardo played to prevent it travelling.
Congratulations for making it far in the Slayer gig and surviving, when this comes on though.....game over, you are toast. Best ever Slayer song. Has everything in it.
I remember this coming out, we were waiting for it. My tape copy was badly recorded, but I still loved it. Now, I always increase the speed by at least 10% to get that old feeling back...
Tom sings some of the most brutal lyrics and like the nicest coolest most chill dude in the world. Most of the time with a big smile. I kinda forgot about this song one of my early Slayer favorites.
I remember going to a Slayer show (opening for Venom ) in Quebec city , that was 1985 or 86 . Everybody in the crowd kept yelling "CHEMICAL WARFARE" , Tom Araya got annoyed in the end....
I still remember linking this track to a friend who prefers listening to technical and progressive metal and his first reaction being - "Of course, why did I KNOW that it's gonna start with DZDZDZDZD on the E string!" :D
When I was 16 my old man yelled something about mowing the lawn......so I mowed SLAYER into the lawn with each letter being about 20' complete with the slayer star. He stopped asking me to mow the lawn after that.
Yeah, they were pretty influential to thrash, black and death metal bands that came immediately after. Thrash was basically tightening up the Venom sound, while black was embracing the mess, and death sort of going in both directions, depending on the band.
I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS 'HAUNTING AT THE CHAPEL' 12 INCH COVER IN YEARS 😀 AWESOME !! WAS THINKING OF BUYING ONE AGAIN..........BUT NO POINT I GUESS WHEN OUR FUTURE HAS BEEN FORECAST 😑
For some weird reason I always liked more production and arrangements on this ep, than on Hell Awaits. To me, it sounds like it was released before Reign In Blood.

Why did this gave me a strong beavis and butthead vibe? 😂
So peaceful and relaxing track.
Yeah, this is my meditation song.
👍👍👍
@@kevinmeadowcroft7799 Meditating with this song playing must be a pretty enlightening experience.
It actually is
It's funny but i actually find it relaxing

It absolutely was. Think of 1984, nothing else at all was there like it that year.
Bathory?

Fico tão feliz de ver uma banda br ser admirada pelos gringos
Orgulho de ser brasileiro
@@maxyuri5901 verdade
I love songs like this about peace, love and God.
This just charged my phone to 666%
And to think Gene Hoglan was holding Dave Lombardo's drum set in place during this song's recording
Really? That’s great trivia!
That evil scream at 4:02…the best!
Yeahhh
1:55*
The most blasting song ever made by Slayer.
Not the heaviest
Not the deepest
Not the darkest
But definitely the one that will make you headbang the most
Esse ep tem as 3 musicas mais headbangers do slayer
@@masb1141 com total ctz
This my favorite but Angel of death is pretty up there also
One of the*

I’m walkin on sunshine

The best Slayer song ever!
Yes it is and I’ve been a fan since 1984
R.I.P Jeff
I still own the original cassette tape that my older step brother gave to me because it was "too heavy" for him.
You mean your older step sister. Lol
What a f'n dork,he missed out on some kick ass, ORIGINAL,RAW SLAYER!
What A Plebe
Ig it just isn’t for everyone :/
I play mine every day lol
Music doesn't really become better than this.
slayer is the greatest peak humanity has ever reached
Slayer is not my favorite band BUT this track is some fucking insane top of the top. I agree with you .
@@martinberthiaume4971 my brother introduced me to slayer at the age of 7 so it's been my absolute favorite since then, none came even close, so yeah i rock every track of em
I actually prefer this song to Angel of Death.
Love slayer but I got into cannibal corpse that hits heavier but slayers is dope
NOW! THIS IS SLAYER! What a great song!
Fuck yeah Slayer is the best in the world
I agree with you
When that came out after show no mercy I can tell you that this was " the real arrival of Slayer" . Show no mercy was great don't get me wrong but it was a very clean cut sounding album this on the other hand was something else
@@martinberthiaume4971 t-shirt!
The perfection of this track is actually quite soothing
true
This song clocks in at 6:01 minutes long. 601k Americans died of COVID-19, a manmade respiratory disease. CHEMICAL WARFARE
BIOLOGICAL WARFARE*
A manmade disease would be a lot more lethal. This was just your average new disease like we get every hundred years or so.
thats biological warfare
@@sagenecro nah, cause germs and viruses are produced naturally. they aren't manmade in a lab by mad scientists. therefore a manmade "virus" would constitute more so as a chemical.

When Scott Ian used to say, and laugh "Slow ass Slayer!", Lol!
After "Reign In Blood" was released he was a fan boy!
I love Scott, but I'll never forget his distaste! Some words are never forgotten!🤘🤘
He wrote "Douche Crew" for S.O.D. about a perceived distaste of Slayers image
My favorite song from Slayer
Fantastic song, so much power, wakes you up first thing in the morning!!
Dude, it's fucking Slayer. Why the hell not?
Almost cried of joy and happyness on 3:40
The ABC and fundamentals of all Extreme Heavy-Metal (Death/Black) is here.
Death's early demos from 1984 were heavy as hell for the time also.
imagine how evil this sounded when it came out
@The Updog hell yeah bro

Just listening to this knowing Gene Hoglan was infront of Dave Lombardos drum set. Holding it together just makes this so much better.
good

They retired after repentless. Jeff Hanneman died in 2013.
I love how close this is to black metal
According to Loudwire's Wikipedia Fact or Fiction with Gene Hoglan, he was holding the kit in place while Dave Lombardo played to prevent it travelling.
Would have loved to seen them with Venom back in the day.
Saw them with Venom and Exodus

@@warhead5043 all they did was say they saw someone in concert that doesn't mean they're "flexing"
@@cheesecakes4 you ever heard of, "a joke"?
@@warhead5043 Sorry man
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS SONG TOTALLY BLASTED THROUGH MY EARS
This is my classic rock.
The drums on the intro get me everytime
Love how the fills sound like machine guns. Surely it was intentional.
Sodom heard this and said "let's make an entire sound exactly like this song" and we're all better for it
That's a really good point....
best slayer track ever
Don't forget Black Magic 🤘😁🤘
And also don't forget about Haunting The Chapel, The AntiChrist, At Dawn They Sleep, Alter of Sacrifice, and of course Angel of Death.
Congratulations for making it far in the Slayer gig and surviving, when this comes on though.....game over, you are toast. Best ever Slayer song. Has everything in it.
Slayer at it's best 🤘🏻. Still love this song after 39(!) years
I remember this coming out, we were waiting for it. My tape copy was badly recorded, but I still loved it. Now, I always increase the speed by at least 10% to get that old feeling back...
In the humble opinion of this old punk rocker and headbanger, simply the greatest thrash metal song ever
Это не музыка, это песнь Богов, Ломбардо просто с ума сходит, ритм бешеный
Metal foda demais, aqui no Brasil a gente ama Slayer pra caralho!
eles simplesmente destroem --
Slayer é muito foda, PUTA QUE PARIU
slayer e buceta
Brasil? VULCANOOOO!!!!
Minazinha legal, bangueia, bangueia..kkkkk

Few tracks manage to generate as much catharsis in such a short timeframe, it really takes you for a ride. SLAYER!!!
1:55 Tom can't do that anymore.
He had a hard time with it in 86 on the Reign in Blood tour
Imagine screaming that much on your records, hell, I'd half ass Angel of Death if I had to play it live
When you fart
This song influenced so many tunes I came up in my teens... What a rampaging power of a song!
This would go well as movie and game soundtrack
This applies to ALL OF METAL!
I almost forgot this. Thank goodness i have all my albums still
One of my happy time songs 😁
Me and the neighbors jam to Slayer and Pantera every fucking day
I remember going to a Slayer show (opening for Venom ) in Quebec city , that was 1985 or 86 . Everybody in the crowd kept yelling "CHEMICAL WARFARE" , Tom Araya got annoyed in the end....
I'd only heard the muddy, echoey Slayer before hearing this. It was this very song that first made me go SSSLLLAAAYYYEEERRR!!!
Slayer forever 🤘🇬🇷
This is the first start introduction run opener of slayer for ME!!!.. the rest is history!!!🤘👹🤘
Still brings tears to my eyes, that groove, omg, that GROOOVE!!! Nobody ever topped Slayer!!!
This shit never gets old....BANGING ON!!!..since *1979
04:00 IIAAHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HAAAA!!!
Desert storm syndrome I LIVED with 2 one is dead the other taught me how to rid yourself of chemical poisoning
What a song, fantastic thrash tune that just ripps.
My all time favorite Slayer track!
I still remember linking this track to a friend who prefers listening to technical and progressive metal and his first reaction being - "Of course, why did I KNOW that it's gonna start with DZDZDZDZD on the E string!" :D
How can anyone dislike Slayer ? This is fucking lovely.
2:43 FUCK IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No other band will ever compare to Slayer.
Sodom
Exodus
When I was 16 my old man yelled something about mowing the lawn......so I mowed SLAYER into the lawn with each letter being about 20' complete with the slayer star. He stopped asking me to mow the lawn after that.
Killer riff
38 years later, it still tickles my fancy
Most of the early thrash bands sounds like Venom. If you didn't know this song you'd probably mistake it for Venom.
Yeah, they were pretty influential to thrash, black and death metal bands that came immediately after. Thrash was basically tightening up the Venom sound, while black was embracing the mess, and death sort of going in both directions, depending on the band.
Who?
@@Whalelover04 Are you joking?
You don't mistake Tom Araya's vocals for anyone else....even if you've never heard him before 😎
Ur dumb. just stfu when using the Internets. thank you.
I think he is referring to "why did they post it only now, and not sooner?"
Epic song. \m/
1:55
Legend riff
Favorite 4 Life!! \m/
audio mejorado por mucho y mas por ser de mis favoritas \m/ :3
The chaos at the end! Magnificent!
The song to chime in my wedding anniversary. This is so romantic. Haunting the chapel is the best wedding song.
The sound quality is fantastic! Artificial fucking peace!
love this song to death
SIMPLE AND AMAZING
Best Slayer song hands down! 🤘🏻
I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS 'HAUNTING AT THE CHAPEL' 12 INCH COVER IN YEARS 😀 AWESOME !! WAS THINKING OF BUYING ONE AGAIN..........BUT NO POINT I GUESS WHEN OUR FUTURE HAS BEEN FORECAST 😑

Clássico imortal.
The first song to get me into this genre of music 1987
National slayer day ! \m/
I start my Sundays mornings with this without fail
Bons tempos
4:02 if you play this at x0.70 it's suuuuuuuuper bouncy
Boa trilha sonora pra uma guerra
4:50 That sounds like the beginning of Ghosts Of War
Because it is, I think they played the songs in conjunction when they still toured
Yep, they recycled the riff.
El himno del thrash metal ♥️🇻🇪
Esto parece más heavy metal que thrash metal.
