Slayer
Raining Blood

I had to create the track myself because the Debaserian database did not contain Raining Blood; an inconceivable gap that has been filled.

It is the tenth track that concludes Slayer's absolute masterpiece: that Reign In Blood, the connecting link between Venom's Black Metal and Death Metal - Grindcore.

Black cornerstone; the perfection of extreme music takes shape in October 1986. Before this, such a level of sonic violence, combined with raw and brutal lyrics, was just a crazy and foolish concept.

But the four diehards from Los Angeles clear the field with the twenty-nine minutes of the album: Dave's shocking drumming annihilates anyone who tries to imitate it. The two ultra-fast guitars of Jeff and Kerry are no less, weaving patterns never heard before; Tom's spirited, diabolical voice evokes absolute Evil. After them, Napalm Death.

Slayer rightfully enter the list of those INDISPENSABLE bands.

They construct strong, distressing, rebellious sounds at the edge of listenability from so much "speed" and martialness.

Extreme and devastating in their damned live performances that have entered into legend (with a mosh pit near the stage like an infernal circle due to the unleashed violence: see to believe).

"Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood!"

These lines conclude the lyrics; then begins the last part of the track that has the power to bring down walls: the apocalypse becomes Music. No one like them.

An excessive display of strength by a band, one of the very few in my opinion, capable of defining the canons of Metal. Of all Metal without any distinction of genre.

Managing to bring into Metal the extremization of Hardcore language, thanks in particular to the controversial figure of Jeff Hanneman (R.I.P.).

Diabolos Rising 666... (never before has my final line been so fitting to what I wrote).
