05:15  - 3 years ago
Slayer was in Singapore in Oct 2006 and this is the clip of their concerts there plus interview with Kerry, Jeff, Tom and Dave. Milk money out of Google Video and YouTube @ www.HahaVid.com ! Alternatively go to www.thevideosense.com/user/hahavid/ Quite a comical and funny interview where they spoke about crazed fans and asking us to join The Church of Slayer! Slayer is an American thrash metal band, founded in Huntington Park, California, on 1982 by Kerry King (guitars), Tom Araya (bass and vocals), Jeff Hanneman (guitars) and Dave Lombardo (drums). Lombardo has been in and out of the group three times, but the others have been permanent members. Hanneman and King are the group's main songwriters. Slayer is one of the "Big Four" of thrash metal, along with Metallica, Anthrax, and Megadeth. Slayer (along with Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth) is often credited with creating American thrash metal by speeding up the sound of NWOBHM bands such as Iron Maiden and Venom. Slayer also drew from hardcore punk influences, borrowing some of that music's emphasis on extremely quick tempos in many of their songs. The riff style and thematics of the NWOBHM band Venom is the main metal influence in Slayer's aesthetic, especially in their early career. Slayer found moderate commercial success and are known for their devoted cult following. Their graphic album art and lyrics, which touch on subjects like serial killers, criticism of religion, the Holocaust and warfare, have generated strong criticism. Slayer's music, especially the albums Hell Awaits (1985) and Reign in Blood (1986) albums, is regarded as a major influence on death metal. Due to the higher pitched vocals in their songs, Slayer have an influence over black metal as well. Several premier black metal acts such as Emperor and Mayhem cite Slayer as an influence.
