Slayer is a band that plays thrash metal music. This means that you are in for violent and aggressive melodies and at times thunderous and/or very fast rhythms. The lyrics are not always sung but from time to time shouted or even "barked". That means that with Slayer you get a fantastic amount of energy. Their music is a collection of sounds that can only be created by extraordinary skilled musicians. This is great music when you feel frustrated and or aggressive and want to blow of steam. Play this at a low volume and it enables you to calmly admire the musical technicalities that have made this band one of the best playing thrash metal. This is craftsmanship of the highest level and there are very few bands able to achieve this. Enjoy!!!
