Raining Blood is the greatest metal song of all time

This isn't Painkiller.

wtf does this even mean?
>Upon my podium as the know-it-all scholar
>Down in my seat of judgement, gavel's bang, uphold the law
>Up on my soapbox, a leader out to change the world
>Down in my pulpit as the holier-than-thou-could-be-messenger of God
What about this is a hook

The change of tempo and weird phrasing really catch your attention.

I don't know, it's just a musical idea that goes into a breakdown, before transitioning back to a more intense and fast version of the original idea. Also the musicianship is on another level

>AUSCHWITZ
>THE MEANING OF PAIN
>THE WAY THAT I WANT YOU TO DIE
jesus did Raimi ghostwrite this album?

>The change of tempo and weird phrasing really catch your attention.
I wouldn't call that a "hook" though.

Show no Mercy shits all over the rest of Slayer's work.

Slayer was only popular because death metal didn't exist yet and Bathory wasn't big in the U.S.

Why would Death existing make a thrash band unpopular? I like thrash, I don't like death metal.

Because Slayer is considered to be one of the major progenitors of extreme music. He is saying that they were popular because they were the most extreme band at the time.

this. piece by piece and postmortem are way better

The best song in the album is Jesus Saves, which is also the best thrash song in history.

None of which is Slayer's fault. You can conjecture all you want to rationalize history. I dont particularly like Slayer either.

But that’s not Cemetery Gates

No. Praise of Death is their best. At Dawn They Sleep is 2nd best.

>Slayer was only popular because they filled a void
WHOA THIS IS CRAZY!

Metallica has so many better songs, One, Welcom Home, Ride the Lightning, The Thing That Should Not Be and more just to mention a few

plebs, all of you

Best song or not I think we can all agree that Seasons In the Abyss is by far their best album.

>"best metal song"
>Not even the best song in its album

>any Pantera song
>better than Slayer
Maybe if Slayer's discography started with Diabolus in Musica yeah that would be right

If anyone seriously thinks any metal song is better than Master Of Puppets than you're just plain dumb, it'll hit you someday

...And Justice for All is better

IMO

My Last Words is objectively the best thrash song ever written

The greatest metal song of all time is Dunkelheit, everyone knows this
