Biography

Slayer were one of the most distinctive and extreme thrash metal bands of the 1980s. Their graphic lyrics deal with everything from death and dismemberment to war and the horrors of hell. Their full-throttle velocity, wildly chaotic guitar solos, and powerful musical chops paint an effectively chilling sonic background for their obsessive chronicling of the dark side; this correspondence has helped Slayer's music hold up arguably better than the remaining Big Three '80s thrash outfits (Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax). Slayer survived into the 1990s with arguably the most vitality and the least compromise of any '80s band, and their intensity still inspires similar responses from their devoted fans. ~ Steve Huey
