Slayer!

Ok! You all might have heard of these guys, but with the legendary axe man Jeff Hanneman passing away today/tonight thought I'd do a post in his memory.
Not only do these guys have the coolest band name of all time, they also are one of the pioneers of thrash metal and have been rocking out since 1981! The lead singer (Tom Araya) has the best voice in thrash metal, this is fact. (Well technically it is opinion...). Former ( :(  ) guitarist Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King (still in Slayer) are in my top 5 most skilled guitarists of all time. And I have not even mentioned Dave Lombadrdo, the drummer. He got crowned " the godfather of double bass" which is possibly the coolest title ever, which kind of tells you how awesome he is. The combination of these guys is killer and their name really fits with the whole sound they muster up in every single song. A little fact about these guys which also sums up their music is, they once apparently covered themselves in fake blood on one of the shows! Also they sing about serial killers and being anti-Christ, which I enjoy in a weird way.
Slayer have 11albums! Which is a great effort. I cannot fault any of these albums, seriously.  If you listen to them all intently like I did, you may find "Diabolus in musica" to be slightly weaker, but I still love the album. NOW, less of the bad side! Slayers best album is undoubtably "Reign in Blood" features so many immense tracks! Like... "Angel of Death" and my favourite "Raining Blood". The riff on "Raining blood" is absolutely amazing, even if you don't like heavy metal surely you must appreciate that riff, sounds so good!  They are meant to be bringing an album out later this year too, but I'm not sure how that is now because of today's events.
Slayer are a part of the "big four" thrash metal acts, other bands in this are "Anthrax" "megadeth" and "METALLICA!" If you got to see them all play together you are so lucky as I have never seen any of these bands :( which really saddens me. Tonight at the Golden Gods awards, Anthrax did a cover of Raining Blood as a tribute to Jeff, which shows the impact his death has had.
Anyway, here is my favourite (enjoy the riff)

 Let me know what you think ;)
