Background notes
Archive material and source history
Slayer formed in Huntington Park, California in 1981 with guitarist Kerry King, drummer Dave Lombardo, vocalist Tom Araya, and bassist Jeff Hanneman. Their early albums like 'Show No Mercy' and 'Hell Awaits' established their sound in the thrash metal scene.
Their 1986 album 'Reign in Blood' included 'Raining Blood,' which became one of their most recognized songs. Other tracks like 'Angel of Death' and 'South of Heaven' also became staples of their live sets.
Slayer's lyrics often dealt with dark themes that drew criticism from some groups. Their music maintained a consistent intensity across decades, with later songs like 'Repentless' continuing in the same aggressive style.
