The greatest metal record of all time. This topic is often debated upon in the Metal Kingdom and to most there is no definite answer. A worthy contender for this title is Slayer's 1986 masterpiece, Reign In Blood. Few albums withstand the test of time as well and even fewer have had such a huge impact on the metal world as this one.

Where does one begin reviewing an album with as much hype and influence as this? An album branded as revolutionary and with such a fanatical following. It is always going to be a difficult task, so I ask that for a moment we forget the hype surrounding this album and we look at the musical value it holds.
Reign in Blood was in many ways a brave new world for Slayer. It had a completely different sound to anything before it; they abandoned all the pretentiousness of the long, drawn out, complex song structures they had experimented with on Haunting the Chapel and Hell Awaits. In this, it was far more accessible, yet they didn't sacrifice any of their integrity or alienate any of their core fan base. Their intention was quite clear, that this was to be the fastest, heaviest, angriest music ever to be unleashed on human ears.

For more than a decade, Slayer has proudly fused thrash and speed metal into loud, offering doomish dirges, voraciously boisterous and blasphemous songs groaning over lyrics that depict madness, suicide and murder in excess, a style which should definetly suit a ten-year-old metalhead. On October 7, 1986, Slayer released what was to become their masterpiece, "Reign In Blood". An album discribed by Kerrang! Magazine as "the heaviest album of all time" and peaked at number 22 on Metal Storm's "top 100 albums of all time" survey, a position that only "the crème de la crème" bands could get. Believe me, reviewing a very popular album from a very popular band isn't easy at all, but sometimes justice must be done.

I think 'Criminally Insane', 'Reborn' and 'Epidemic' are rather weak songs and generally the album wears thin on the second half. The first half is pure gold though.

"Criminally Insane" is one of the best songs on the album in my opinion. Very intense, with some creepy riffage going on too! I would agree that the first half of the album is the stronger though.

This is much better than I remember it was. But the band is still overrated and is not their best album. At least for me...

I wouldn't go that far (I wouldn't even call it Slayer's best album), but it is certainly one of the most important albums in the history of metal. It's level of ferocity at the time of it's release makes it a landmark metal album, and especially in the world of extreme metal. This album arguably, had more influence on the sub-genres of extreme metal than any other, in general terms.

True. Ok, its maybe not the best thrash metal album of all time but its definitely the pinnacle of Slayers carrer. Everything is perfect about it, altough Hell Awaits and South of Heaven come damn close to its level. This is such an important release for me, just because it was my very first thrash metal album ever and it still is as fresh and overwhelming as it was years ago.
