This is the start of the Slayer sound . The riff and way Tom uses the lyrics here could almost be from a new album .It is very different to Black Magick etc - they have found their groove .
Still addicted to this shit after about 18 years! You ever tried playing this without downloading any tabs, you know by just listening - you, your guitar, Stereo, Hell awaits. It is fucking hard. Jeff Hanneman, man. Kerry King - lead guitar hereos on this and many other tunes!
thanks for posting this bad ass old school Slayer song. fans of heavy music should investigate VSD on youtube. Two super fast tunes - Life of Scum and Lubrication have just been added. Recorded live in 1987, VSD- Kill Your kids, Mental Breakdown, Phantasmagoria, girl troubles, and Conformity Sucks. Enjoy the old metal !!!!!
running and hunting and slashing and crushing and searching and seeing and stabbing and shooting and thrashing and smashing and burning destroying and killing
Running and hunting and slashing and crushing and searching and seeing and stabbing and shooting and thrashing and smashing and burning destroying and killing and bleeding and pleading then Death
Yes, this track live at the next Slayer gig I attend would be a treat I've been waiting a long time for. This is one of slayers best early era tracks and I am truly addicted to it.
This is one of my fav, everytime I listen to it makes me headbanging till' I break my neck... and the solo battle between Jeff and Kerry is amazing in this song...
I was at this show. Overkill opened and Death Angel played.....It was Lombardo on drums for sure. I worked at a gas staion in Hasbrouck Heights with Tony Scaglione at the time and he was in Whiplash.
It's Lombardo... Scaglione couldn't kick like that. Lombardo played the Ritz show, but when Slayer returned to Lamour in Brooklyn later in the year TJ Scaglione had to fill in for Lombardo cause he was on the rag and arguing with the band.
in my opinion one of the thrashiest songs of all time, i cannot get enough of it but have never been able to find a vid of them doing it live! So awesome, wish they played this song in concert :D \m/ S L A Y E R \m/
still watching It over and over, It's a real shame they cut Into Criminally Insane Instead of having that eerie feedback and then Dave kicking off and the proper good mosh bit, oh well can't have It all I suppose.
That was fucking unreal! get me a mother fucking time machine!! I've been In love with that song for many years and have never heard It live anywhere, If that was the whole song I would have died of ecstacy. SLAYER FUCKING RULE! YOU FUCKING KNOW IT!
Hell yeah! Badass song off of Hell Awaits!

Although Reign in Blood was hailed as their breakthrough, I always found
Hell Awaits to be way, way more evil.
