THE REVIEW
The 10 songs of the album all seem connected by a common thread that drags us
into a hopeless world dominated by evil. There is no possibility of escape,
the air is heavy, unbearable, the heart beats fast from the fear of what we find
before us. The sky is red, a rain of blood reigns over this desolation, in this
world dominated by evil, it seems as though the word hope never existed. Terror,
anguish, nervousness are emotions that never leave us for the entire duration
of the album. A timeless album, from which there is no escape alive. The violent and nervous voice
of Tom Araya screams the fear of tortured victims, screams of sacrificed victims, screams of terror.
The distortion of Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King's guitars is powerful and sharp, and the thrash riffs with
splashes of hardcore flow very fast, exuding violence and nervousness. The atonal solos
are like relentless stabs, they reach us and leave us lying on the ground dying, in
a pool of blood. Dave Lombardo's drums are of an impressive violence and nervousness,
the execution times are always very fast accompanied by a
snare drum as heavy as a hammer and an obsessive ride. We reach the end of the album but the
terror and fear do not abandon us, the view of the world can never be
the same again.

Summary by Bot
Slayer's Reign In Blood delivers a brutal, fast-paced thrash metal experience filled with themes of terror and hopelessness. Tom Araya's intense vocals scream fear, while the guitar riffs and solos by Hanneman and King cut deeply. Lombardo's aggressive drumming drives the album's relentlessness. The album's atmosphere is dark and oppressive, leaving a lasting impact on the listener.Tracklist Lyrics Videos

29min and 40 sec of speed, fury, and massive technical prowess!
'Angel of Death,' inspired by the 'achievements' of the SS doctor, Joseph Mengele, represents one of the cornerstones of Slayer’s discography.
By James1
"20 minutes of pure thrash!"
"If Metal is a negative poem, then this CD is a precious source."
By Big D
"Angel Of Death kicks in: the riff is one of the most damnably granite and devastating in metal history, a pure frontal assault on the listener's ears."
"Reign in Blood is one of the most ingenious, most devastating, most powerful works ever conceived by the human mind."
By durasno7
Reign In Blood, or, the masterpiece of extreme music, the masterpiece of Slayer, the greatest manifesto of violence and rage that the human mind has ever conceived.
To be so-called metalheads and not own this album would be like not having one of those albums that encapsulate within themselves the very concept of 'Metal'.
