how in hell did they compose such a complex song and perform it live better than their studio version? slayer kicks so much more ass than i'll ever know...
@TheKvltist Yeh Slayer's song writing before Reign in Blood, particularly on HA and Haunting the Chapel some of the best. Reign in Blood is pretty good, but way overrated, especially when albums like Show no Mercy get little recognition.
It seems as though everyone is hyped on the speed of RIB and they forget about the songs that showcased brilliant composition, and a truly dark atmosphere, and i am referring to Hell Awaits mostly, the whole album is filled with minor key harmonies, odd time signatures and dark riffs, SNM has a bit more of a Maiden/Priest feel to it, which was cool, but Hell Awaits was just too well written to have any competition from the rest of their catalogue
@TheKvltist in my opinion i think that, yea reign in blood was overlyhyped as a good cd...the first two were dope cds... but even though south of heaven and seasons in the abyss sound different they are great albums ... i think the first five albums are thrash masterpieces ... cant say the same about the rest of ther cds... i still like some new slayer songs, mainly cus they kept it thrash ... and instead of toning it down there still doing their thang....
hey guys we are a thrash metal band from Virginia Beach, please check out some of our stuff! more tunes on the way! comments and ratings are appreciated. THRASH TILL DEATH!
i wish they wud play this song live nowadays..hell awaits is my favorite album for them and they dont even play any songs except hell awaits..that fking pisses me off coz ALL the songs on this album are some of the best songs they ever wrote..so well structured and evil and sinister theyre awesome!
I agree, this is one of their greatest tunes from this era, yet never gets mentioned...the soundboard and video match is great!~good splicer, but then look at how consistant Slayer is at handling this energy! these guys are very underrated players!
Awesome! One of the best Slayer songs, off one of the Best Slayer Albums. Never thought I would see footage of this awesome song played live in the 85 era. Excellent.
thank you VERY much for uploading this !!! I haven't seen this song live since `85... 39 yrs old now and still have never seen a more powerful band than Slayer
my top 3 slayer albums: 3. Reign in Blood 2. Hell Awaits 1. Show No Mercy

Slayer were great back when they wrote this, but after this was released, they became a pretty shitty band
Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits are awesome albums, but after that, the rest is pretty crappy in my opinion, they were different people back then
A completely different band, and they went completely off the HA track
