Review by illusionist for Slayer - Reign in Blood (1986)
Metal as fuck
When someone says "metal", Reign In Blood is what I think of first. It is the quintessential metal album. Visceral, aggressive music in its purest form. One continuous ten-track onslaught of fast, bloodcurdling riffs and unrelenting violence. The playing (especially the drumming) is incredible and Araya's snarling rasps and screams give the music an an additional pointed edge that is instantly-recognizable. Not a trace of filler to be found - just about every unholy second is immaculate.
