==Reign in Blood==

Reign in blood 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. If you love music that is fast and loud, then this album is a must have. The downtuned riffs, great vocals, vicious basslines and pounding drums all pull together for some amazing music. There isn't a bad track on this album. It just can't be faulted.

Track listing

1. Angel of Death
2. Piece by Piece
3. Necrophobic
4. Altar of Sacrifice
5. Jesus Saves
6. Criminally Insane
7. Reborn
8. Epidemic
9. Postmortem
10. Raining Blood

Conclusion

Would i reccomend it? Of course. This album is an absolute classic with no possible faults to find. I can't find any real fan of metal who dislikes this. If you don't own a copy, i would reccomend buying one right now. Trust me, it's awesome.

Thanks for reading
