This was probably a pretty good song to break you into Slayer. This is one of their slower songs, other slower ones you might like: South Of Heaven, Dead Skin Mask and Ghosts Of War. If you choose to go for the faster songs try Angel Of Death, Postmortem/ Raining Blood and Repentless. Hard to go wrong with Slayer. Have fun on your journey!
Fun fact, the video for Slayer's Seasons in the Abyss was filmed in Cairo, Egypt in May 1990. The video was produced by Propaganda Films. Rick Rubin came up with the idea to shoot in Egypt. Slayer!!
Slayer is thrash metal. One of the first thrash metal bands with Megadeth, Metallica, and Anthrax. They are known as the big 4. The originals. The more you listen to them, Angel the more you will like them.
Probably the most accessible slayer song to the mainstream. From a music standpoint you need to do either Angel of Death or Raining blood l. But it’s very entertaining seeing people react to the repentlass video
Slayer is thrash metal part of the big 4 : metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax. The thrash metal big 4 many would consider Testament the 5th band if it was the big 5… hahah
Slayer's 6.5-minute video for their 1990 song "Seasons in the Abyss" evokes the lyrics' themes of introspection and otherworldliness, rather than telling a story. The video juxtaposes scenes of impoverished people with the band playing in an ancient room, on a Nile boat, and at the base of pyramids. The video also includes locals waving torches in the band's faces, which some say bolsters the song's lyrics about "a bloody tomb," "a sadist ritual," and the need to watch someone bleed.

The song itself is said to be based on the philosophy of Aleister Crowley's Thelema, which suggests that there is a gap between reality, unreality, and delusion. The album Seasons in the Abyss is considered the final part of Slayer's trilogy with producer Rick Rubin, and it marked a darker, moodier direction for the band than their previous albums.
No..., Slayer are a Thrash Metal band!. They are the best thrash Metal band and the best band in my tiny little builder brain that ever existed. I'm happy you picked this song as a starter but you really need to have a go at their other more hardcore Thrash songs to get the true picture of what they are about.
This is a great song for your first time reaction to SLAYER! it is one of their slower songs. You might want to listen to 'Dead Skin Mask' and 'Skeletons of Society' also along this line before you dive into some of their classic heavier stuff. They are considered thrash metal, the kings of thrash - in my opinion. You might also want to listen to 'Raining Blood' 'War Ensemble' 'Angel of Death' 'South of Heaven' just to name a few... I hope you enjoy your journey down the rabbit hole!
South of Heaven and Dead Skin Mask are my two favorite slower songs like this on by Slayer. Dead skin Mask is written about a serial killer. If that isn't your thing, you may want to stay away.

You want to explode with Slayer - Raining Blood, studio version is what you need. All reactions of this song are epic :)
Welcome to the Dark Side! !m! We lied about the cookies! We hope you love this band as much as we do!!!
One of the best thrash bands.

WE MISS YOU BROTHER
SLAYER FOREVER!!!
This is very subtle for slayer. Check out Angel of death or watch the video of Repentless. It’s brutal.

Angel Of Death will explode. I promise.

Need to react to Angel of Death and Raining Blood.
This is the slayer song you show your new girlfriend so she doesn't think you're a complete madman.
Megadeth song Holy Wars… the punishment due is epic!!!
Pantera: By Demons be Driven.
South of Heaven
They are one of the godfathers of thrash. This is the easiest song to listen to everything else is much harder and beautiful.

I actually thought of Metallica when I listening! The intro especially. I have never heard Testament lol
The song beautiful that introduced me to Slayer hooked ever since that album
I would go early Slayer next. Maybe do Hell Awaits, or Black Magic. It's glorious thrash goodness
They are great but they are very raw
My first Slayer show was 1984, good to be from the Bay Area
❤

Cool female bands: Switchblade Symphony, Jack Off Jill, Darkestrah, Astarte, Darkened Nocturnal Slaughtercult, Galhammer, Myrkur.
Slayer are thrash metal, even though alot of their songs about death in some form or another.

Dead Skin Mask, Post Mortem, Angel of Death, I also think you may enjoy Type O Negative's song Black No. 1.
Yes the Pyramids equals Camels...its called culture and location...Ha..Ha..Ha !
Slayer are Thrash metal, Part of the Big Four with Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth.
RAINING BLOOD XDand dead skin mask :)
Good mid-tempo song to break into Slayer. It only gets heavier and faster from here.
Pretty good pick
The band is from the 80s but this album is from 1990

Now I gotta hear it lol
@@AngelDReacts Yes, Dead Skin Mask is about Ed Gein. They also have a song named 213 about Dahmer
Hi Angel, I sent in my donation for Dan Vasc amazing grace
Awesome thank you! I will get right to that, Tom. You Rock!
I’d love to see you react to the band Tool song the Pot or Schism!!!
Sllaaaaaayyyyyeeeeeeerrrrrr💪
Awesome techno band: Lords of Acid and if you are into dj's check out DJ Tinzo's video's from The Reading in New York City.
How about a reaction video on any first three Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Mayhem, or Burzum albums?
Do you want her to have a panic attack?
Angel Of Death or Raining Blood
Hope you've learned your lesson then. 😃
I think you would enjoy South Of Heaven better or Hell Awaits.
