      Just a history lesson...and SLAYER being brutally honest....why? So it never repeats again, but it is repeating and Israel is the Nazis and the WW2 Jews are Palestinians....and who is funding it? Good ole USA. Damn I love honesty and Metal bands bring that honesty. Rappers can sing about the horror and disgusting acts of Slavery....why can't Slayer do the same but about another horrible subject? We need peace and sadly most of Israelites want this to end, but see if they do then Benji Yahoo is out of office, it's called job protection. Also, read Trump's Project 25...... they want to exterminate Transgurls like me...know the facts bro...peace to you and your family....SLAYER!!¡!!

      My man, great reaction! If you can make it thru Slayer, you can make it thru anything. Lol. They're actually singing *against* all that happened during the holocaust. The Angel of Death was the name given to Josef Mangele, who was the psycho medical doctor from Auschwitz that did indescribable 'experiments' on the camp's prisoners. The song also touches on the Nazi's doing anything they could to create an Aryan race. Interestingly, the lead singer of the band (Tom) is actually a devout Christian. None of them were satanists (or racists), by any means. You'll never meet a nicer rock star than Tom Araya. ✌✌

    Slayer’s iconic album cover for “Reign In Blood” was designed to reflect the band’s intense music and dark themes. The artwork, created by Larry W. Carroll, draws inspiration from the title track, “Raining Blood,” which evokes a sense of eternal torment in hell. The cover combines elements of 1980s horror and underground comics, resulting in a striking and memorable image. Despite its graphic nature, the cover didn’t create negativity for the band; instead, it contributed to the album’s impact and status as a classic in thrash metal history .Not a'lot of bands will bring attention to this kind of subject.. but Slayer will and ram it down your throats...this kind of subject needs to be remembered and not forgotten.

    Good classic hardcore thrash choice, and, as many have pointed out, the subject of Josef Mengele was a very real monster. He was one of the heads of the Auschwitz death camp where he committed horrible experiments and did get away with his crimes. He died in Brazil in '79 from a stroke while swimming and drowned which was much kinder than what happened to his victims. Slayer has always gone for the dark subjects like him and many others. 213 on their 1994 album Divine Intervention is about cannibal murderer Jeffrey Dahmer is another example of their brutal songs and subjects. There has always been a fascination with the Nazis after their defeat, Slayer were not the first, as there were several movies about them and Mengele. The 1976 Dustin Hoffman movie Marathon Man has a Nazi doctor as the villain based off Mengele, I don't recommend watching that movie if you are having a dental appointment, and the 1978 movie, based off the Ira Levin novel of the same name, The Boys from Brazil with Gregory Peck playing the evil Nazi scientist. Still, dig your choice and keep up the content.

    Heard this a thousand times and it never fails to amaze me. To put the history, the reality of what actually happened into musical form is beyond exceptional. I heard religious groups were protesting over this, they don't understand what it is. It is not glorification, it is not condoning what happened. It is just a fast, heavy, loud representation in a sort of way of the crazy evil minds who somehow did these acts. This is true music and art, expressing thoughts and feelings through sound, I get that it can be very hard to digest to the unfamiliar, but I get what is going on and love it. So powerful and real. A tapestry of recognition. A wtf moment of wow this actually happened. A wake up call of like yeah this may seem heavy but look at the reality and this track is nothing compared to the actual events.

In the 80s, I was all about horror movies, horror comics and thrash metal and it showed all through my development years. As I got older, I graduated from Slayer to Possessed, to Death and then to the pioneers of the nascent death metal scene with bands like Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel and Obituary. Today, I'm a middle aged ghoul with a sick sense of humor. It's all in good fun though

    This is a brutal song off of one of the classic 80s thrash albums. I first heard it in 98 and was like, WTF? Like a lot of metal, punk, hardcore, and rap from back then, the subject matter was dark, misanthropic, and based on real things that horrible people did. People think it is an endorsement of those actions, but it is a song about how terrible humans can be.
    And a funny side note, this song was featured in Gremlins 2. It is also sampled on the Public Enemy song "She Watches Channel Zero," probably because Rick Rubin produced for both groups then.

    @RockulaProductionsYoutube 3 месяца назад +1

    Slayer wants you to feel revulsion. There's not one grain of sugar in this song. They purposely kept the song vague so that you will not pre judge the lyrics from a certain perspective. This song bypasses many filters and makes you feel the raw emotion without our tendency to try to soften things in out brains before we think about them. I was a Junior in High school when this came out and it was the most intense thing I'd ever heard. The satanic thing was fun because it scared other kids but the raw emotional content is what really appealed to me.

    Slayer always found the most controversial subjects and told them in the most brutal depiction. Of course, Mengele and the medical experimentation are a really controversial subject.
    Slayer also always tells the story but doesn't necessarily agree or disagree. In Angel of Death there are subtle hints of disagreement (infamous butcher, rancid angel of death flying free) - but most people see the song as a glorification of Mengele and what he did - it is just pure story telling, not approval. Controversial subject aside - Slayer rips your face off with the tempo and the "haunting" guitar tone with amazing speed. This album, Reign in Blood, is widely considered top 5, maybe 10, all time of influential metal albums. 🤘
