Reign in Blood is the third studio album and major label debut by the American thrash metal band Slayer. Released on October 7, 1986, the album was the band's first collaboration with record producer Rick Rubin, whose input helped the band's sound evolve. Reign in Blood was very well received by both critics and fans, and was responsible for bringing Slayer to the attention of a mainstream metal audience. Kerrang! magazine described the record as "the heaviest album of all time," and a breakthrough in thrash metal and speed metal.
Reign in Blood's release was delayed because of concerns regarding its graphic artwork and lyrical subject matter. The opening track, "Angel of Death", which refers to Josef Mengele and describes acts committed at the Auschwitz concentration camp, provoked allegations of Nazism.[3] However, the band stated numerous times they do not condone Nazism, and are merely interested in the subject.[4] The album was Slayer's first to enter the Billboard 200; the release peaked at number 94, and was awarded gold certification on November 20, 1992
2. Piece By Piece
[Lyrics & Music - King]
Modulistic terror
A vast sadistic feast
The only way to exit
Is going piece by piece
You have no choice of life or death
My face you will not see
I'll rip your flesh 'till there's no breath
Dismembered destiny
As soon as life has left your corpse
I'll make you part of me
No emotion
Death is all I see
Modulistic terror
A vast sadistic feast
The only way to exit
Is going piece by piece
Bones and blood lie on the ground
Rotten limbs lie dead
Decapitated bodies found
On my wall, your head!
On your trail I close the gap
One more life that soon won't be
No emotion
Your flesh is all I need
I'll send you to your maker
Confront the God you seek
A flash of red upon his your chest
Safety out of reach
(You have no choice of life or death
My face you will not see
I'll rip your flesh 'till there's no breath
Dismembered destiny)
(Modulistic terror
A vast sadistic feast
There's only one way out of here
Piece by piece)
this is one of my most favorite slayer songs and is my most favorite to shred on guitar.

dude, I posted this song to expose more people to a general cause (Metal) and get them away from the over-proceessed shit they peddle now. I can tell you now congrats-you picked a 17 year old out as not being aline when the album came out, and jesus fucking christ the "STORY" is a copy/paste from Wikipedia. so go rip their ass for the points presented, or get over it and just enjoy some quality metal from the heaviest band ever. and wasn't calling me a cunt a bit extreme? lol
