The band were accused as a bunch of Nazis by various people, but with such awsaopme lyrics suchs as Auchwitz The meaning of pain the way i want you to die (Angel of Death) its a fair statment. fot those of you who don't know Auchwitz was the german death camp used in world war 2 which killed many thosands of people and is renowned as one of the biggest slaughterings and gruesome places to date. on the song Raining Blood listen to Dave Lombardo on the drums tearing away the top of his double bass pedals which if any person who can play like that deserves to be called amazing great album maybe not the best album ever and around 30 minutes ibn length but still 20 years on one of the most influencial

Advantages: Pure Head-Banging Metal from start to finish! Disadvantages: I haven't got to see them live yet!
Reign In Blood is absolutely brilliant and will no doubt take pride of place within all heavy / black metal fans CD collections!
From Angel of Death to Raining Blood the Album is phenominal, with Henneman and King playing some amazing guitar solos - especially in Angel of Death.
It's one of these Albums that you just blare at the top of the speakers and you can't help but jump around as if you were watching them live some of the time (or maybe ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Reign In Blood - Slayer"
ReigninBloodReigninblood is the third studio album by thrash legends, Slayer. It was released on October 7th 1986 and is regarded as a classic metal album. The album was delayed because of the lyrical themes. In the opening track "Angel of death" they sang about the acts that occured at auschvitz concentration camp. This lead to claims of Nazism which the band have always denied and explained they just have an interest in the subject.
My opinion
The opening track could not have been any better. The speed is intense and the riffs and vocals prove how good the band are. Also the drumming sound is great. It's no wonder that this song is still nearly always part of their set. The other highlights of the album have to be "Jesus saves" and "Raining blood". The whole album is just classic slayer and it can't be faulted ...
Advantages: awesome album for thrash fans Disadvantages: sucks for everyone else
‘ReigninBlood’ was one of the first albums I ever bought and it still sounds good today. Loud, brash, fast and ultimtely brutal, ‘ReigninBlood’ was the album that confirmed Slayer as a leading light on the thrash scene. Opening with the uncompromising ‘Angel of Death’ and roaring through to the superb ‘Raining Blood’, this album is a supreme piece of speed metal.
Despite appearances of being the usual satan obsessed death/thrash album typical of the early 80s, the band claim that it is more a tongue in cheek look at Christianity and a test of people’s beliefs rather than anything else. With an album sleeve packed with pentagrams, fire, a goatheaded protaganist etc. coupled with lyrics which invite you to ‘enter to the world of satan’, ‘praise hell, satan ...
Advantages: Released in the height of its popularity Disadvantages: strictly monotonous
to compete more in the present recording bussiness' mold ?) such a change is now so evident on their latest release God Hates Us All - which may i add is very impressive in its production.
There was a time when i have a very great appetite for these kind of music such as Slayer's (PANTERA's Vulgar Display of Power is a great successive stuff to this). Furthermore, on ReignInBlood's album cover artwork illustration of Satan, Astoreth (sitting on the throne), the catholic pope (see Revelations 17:1-6) along with decapitated heads and sacrificed human carcasses in the surrounding of Hell itself- there on the lower RIGHT corner is a warped picture of someone whom my friends/relatives would automatically ask me how'd my 21-yr old picture got in there whenever i show it to them (the LP was released when i was only 14 or 15)...
