Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss (1990)

After staking out new territory with the underrated South of Heaven, Slayer brought back some of the pounding speed of Reign in Blood for their third major label album, Seasons in the Abyss. Essentially, Seasons fuses its two predecessors, periodically kicking up the mid tempo grooves of South of Heaven with manic bursts of aggression. "War Ensemble" and the title track each represented opposite sides of the coin, and they both earned Slayer their heaviest MTV airplay to date. In fact, Seasons in the Abyss is probably their most accessible album, displaying the full range of their abilities all in one place, with sharp, clean production. Since the band is refining rather than progressing or experimenting, Seasons doesn't have quite the freshness of its predecessors, but aside from that drawback, it's strong almost all the way from top to bottom (with perhaps one or two exceptions). Lyrically, the band rarely turns to demonic visions of the afterlife anymore, preferring instead to find tangible horror in real life, war, murder, human weakness. There even full fledged social criticism, which should convince any doubters that Slayer aren't trying to promote the subjects they sing about. Like Metallica Master of Puppets or Megadeth Peace Sells...but Who's Buying, Seasons in the Abyss paints Reagan era America as a cesspool of corruption and cruelty, and the music is as devilishly effective as ever.

Slayer - South of Heaven (1988)

When it comes to death metal, no band is more convincing than Slayer. For other bands, focusing on death, Satanism, the supernatural, and the occult became a cliché; but Slayer controversial reflections on evil always came across as honest and heartfelt. The group sincerity is the thing that makes South of Heaven so disturbing and powerful. when the influential thrashers rip into such morbid fare as "Spill the Blood," "Mandatory Suicide," and "Ghosts of War," they are frighteningly convincing. With their fourth album, Slayer began to slow their tempos without sacrificing an iota of heaviness or incorporating any pop elements.

Slayer - Reign in Blood (1986)

Widely considered the pinnacle of speed metal, Reign in Blood is Slayer undisputed masterpiece, a brief (under half an hour) but relentless onslaught that instantly obliterates anything in its path and clears out just as quickly. Producer Rick Rubin gives the band a clear, punchy sound for the first time in its career, and they largely discard the extended pieces of Hell Awaits in favor of lean assaults somewhat reminiscent of hardcore punk (though distinctly metallic and much more technically demanding). Reign in Blood opens and closes with slightly longer tracks (the classics "Angel of Death" and "Raining Blood") whose slower riffs offer most of the album few hints of melody. Sandwiched in between are eight short (all under three minutes), lightning, fast bursts of aggression that change tempo or feel without warning, producing a disjointed, barely controlled effect. The album is actually more precise than it sounds, and not without a sense of groove, but even in the brief slowdowns, the intensity never lets up. There may not be much variation, but it's a unified vision, and a horrific one at that. The riffs are built on atonal chromaticism that sounds as sickening as the graphic violence depicted in many of the lyrics, and Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman demented soloing often mimics the screams of the songs victims. It's monstrously, terrifyingly evocative, in a way that transcends Reign in Blood metal origins. The album almost single, handedly inspired the entire death metal genre (at least on the American side of the Atlantic), and unlike many of its imitators, it never crosses the line into self parodic overkill. Reign in Blood was a stone cold classic upon its release, and it hasn't lost an ounce of its power today.

Slayer - Live Undead (1985)

Recorded and released as a follow up to the Haunting the Chapel EP, specifically during the tour for that effort (though apparently actually in a studio with a few hypercharged fans in audible attendance), Live Undead shows the band still coming together in ways. Hell Awaits was around the corner and Reign in Blood further off yet, so the set relies on their earliest material, sometimes striking but formative nonetheless. But if nothing else Tom Araya part snarling and part merry way around death, doom, and destruction was already nearly settled, only one or two Rob Halford level shrieks sneak through here and there ("The Antichrist" cartoonishly so) while the full quartet's Judas Priest-Iron Maiden in absolute overdrive approach was already paying off. Dave Lombardo's drumming handled the steadier stomp of songs like "Die by the Sword" solidly while going to town on "Captor of Sin" and particularly "Evil Has No Boundaries," the best performance of the seven songs. Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King — the latter featuring a slightly unfortunate hairdo on the back cover, strike just enough of a balance, however unexpectedly, between technical skill and flailing chaos. Hell Awaits eventually brought all the newer changes out in fuller force, even with subpar production, so Live Undead isn't really necessary except for the hardest of hardcore fans in the end, especially in comparison to Decade of Aggression. Still, it does have its "it could only be Slayer" moments, including Araya almost casual way of rudely introducing "Captor of Sin." [Some early CD versions include the original version of "Chemical Warfare" from Haunting the Chapel as a mighty fine bonus.]

Slayer - Soundtrack to the Apocalypse (2003)

En la víspera del nuevo álbum de Slayer, y por ser mi primer post en este mi nuevo blog =) (al cual agradezco enormemente a Raul y Jaime su gran esfuerzo en verdad muchas gracias!) he decidido publicar este box set extraordinario. Si alguna vez una banda de metal merece el derecho de llamarse en verdad Box-set, es Slayer. El amor u odio hacia ellos, sus logros en el subgénero de thrash metal es más o menos igual. Por más de 20 años, Slayer se ha mantenido obstinadamente, persistentemente y tercamente en su acercamiento a tocar el más pesado, más fuerte y más oscuro metal en Estados Unidos. Compararlos con el perfil más alto de Metallica y Megadeth, sería no tan equitativo: Slayer ha crecido musicalmente, sin ceder un centímetro a los demás, mientras que las bandas antes mencionadas se han convertido en grabaciones cada vez más de tramite que en realidad un buen álbum dentro de la inspiración, e irremediablemente arraigados en su imagen de la cultura popular. Metallica y Megadeth son dos grandes del Thrash eso ni negarlo, incluso muchos de los países nórdicos y bandas de Black Metal les deben su lealtad por la influencia y sustento; sin embargo Slayer se abrió la puerta en Estados Unidos por la música underground al ser escuchado fuera y dentro del gueto fue como se inició su pequeña gran historia, sin menospreciar de su reputación. Soundtrack to the Apocalypse Deluxe Edition es un paquete de cuatro CD´s y un DVD. Los discos uno y dos contienen pistas de Reign in Blood, y todos los álbumes que proceden de el, e incluye temas adicionales, que sólo fuerón lanzados en Japón, y temas de las bandas sonoras: "In-A-Gadda Da Vida" de Less Than Zero “Disorder"con Ice-T de la película Judgment Night "Human Disease” de La novia de Chucky, y más. El Disco tres es, apropiadamente, titulado Shit que nunca se sabe ¿por qué? Contiene 16 pistas que se han emitido en cualquier lugar, a partir de los ensayos, en grabaciones de conciertos, demostraciones, y un "No Remorse", una colaboración con Atari Teenage Riot, de la banda sonora de Spawn. El cuarto disco es un DVD de grabaciones de conciertos, un sistema electrónico de video kit de prensa para Diabolus in Musica, y una aparición en los premios de la revista Kerrang. Los tres primeros cortes en el DVD se viven en California desde 1983, y un documental de las primeras apariciones en directo. El Box viene empaquetado en formato de CD estándar de tamaño, en una funda de plástico que se despliega en un rectángulo interior. Un folleto adjunto, aunque de menor tamaño de la versión Deluxe, sin embargo, contiene docenas de fotografías inéditas, y citas de la banda y los medios de comunicación, con notas fantásticas y exhaustivas, incluyendo una biografía completa y reconocimiento hacia los fans de la banda de Marc Pasche y Eric Braverman. Con todo lo incluido no se espera que sea para ganar un Grammy por notas, o por todo el conjunto en general, tampoco. Aquí se encuentra un documento y un testimonio de la gran tradición de los rebeldes en el rock underground americano, que tampoco va a ganar la aceptación fuera de su nicho, pero ese nicho está creciendo, y está aquí para quedarse. Este es el gran Slayer el que habíamos estado esperando, y es el valor de su peso en oro.

Usualmente los soundtracks inpirados en peliculas traen dos o tres tracks buenos y mucho relleno que igual y nada tiene que ver con la pelicula o con el sentido del soundtrack.Pero hay un soundtrack que la verdad me gusto bastante, trae cuando menos a 6 bandas que me gustan mucho y otras canciones que son interesantes y una colaboracion que si bien ya son muy frecuentes en este tipo de entregas aqui quedo muy bien hecha.El soundtrack de la Pelicula "Saw 3" publicado en el año 2006 es muy bueno entre los artistas que incluye estan, Lamb of God, Slayer, All that Remains, Static-X, Mastodon, Ministry, Meshuggah, etc, etc.Tambien incluye la participacion de "Shawnee Smith" quien en la pelicula caracteriza a Amanda en colaboracion con la banda Hidrovibe en la cancion "Killer Inside" y pues a mi gusto les quedo bien.
