Product Description
Amazon.ca
This 28-minute slab of noise ranks among the most aggressive, brutal, and bone-crushingly intense major label releases ever. After opening with the highly controversial blur-of-volume "Angel of Death," which tells of the grisly exploits of sadistic Nazi doctor Joseph Mengele, the album confronts Satanic rituals ("Altar of Sacrifice"), serial killing "Piece by Piece," and the apocalypse ("Raining Blood"), before ending abruptly with the sounds of falling rain (assumedly blood). But the band doesn't thrive on shock value alone. Reign in Blood is packed with stop-on-a-dime tempo shifts, complex guitar riffs and daunting rhythms that verify that Slayer are skilled musicians as well as twisted human beings. --Jon Wiederhorn
Product Description
After being offered a recording deal by Rick Rubin's Def Jam Recordings, Slayer signed and quickly began working on its third album with Rubin as co-producer. The result, 1986's Reign in Blood, has been called a "thrash metal masterpiece" and even credited with almost single-handedly inspiring the entire death metal genre, at least in North America.

Slayer is one of the best metal bands of all-time. Angel of Death, Criminally Insane and Raining Blood are three of the best songs on this album. Reign in Blood delivers the goods!! Slayer are the kings of metal and this album, Seaons in the Abyss and South of Heaven have to be considered the best metal trilogy of the 80s. Forget Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning and the album, AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. Metallica can't compete with this band, the true masters of metal. Forget Zepplin. FORGET SABBATH AND FORGET OZZY. SLAYER DELIVERS!!

The only way to exit, is going piece by piece.
In 1986 this was as extreme as music got. While the lyrics could still be interpreted as 'scary' or 'satanic' by the average grandmother, thanks to people like Cannibal Corpse and... Read more

Great
Reign in Blood is slayer's best 'fast' album. Slayers best 'slow' album is South of Heaven. If you're thinking about getting into slayer buy either of these masterpieces.
