 (9 Customer Reviews)
Slayer's major-label debut remains one of the most brutal metal albums ever recorded, uncompromising in its extremes; ironically, it's their mainstream breakthrough release. Infusing its thrash sound with a hardcore-punk influence, the cacophonous quartet shifts from supernatural terror to real-life horrors with shorter songs such as "Necrophobic" and "Postmortem". The change is most notable on the gruesome depiction of Nazi butcher Josef Mengele on the frenzied epic "Angel of Death". Only the apocalyptic closing number, "Raining Blood," hearkens back to the semi-melodic Slayer style from SHOW NO MERCY and HELL AWAITS.
Throughout its short running time (28 minutes, an EP even by 1980s standards), the Rick Rubin-produced REIGN IN BLOOD unleashes a malevolent maelstrom of sound. Propelled by Dave Lombardo's pummeling percussion, Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King let loose their roaring guitars, often trading leads in their unorthodox, wailing style, while bassist Tom Araya barks and shrieks the lyrics with maniacal glee. Slayer is one of the few metal bands that genuinely sounds evil, and with REIGN IN BLOOD it would inspire a legion of thrash- and death-metal followers eager to join the horror show.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Brutally Intense!
This album was just one of many superb thrash albums released in 1986. Not my favorite from that year, but definitely one of the most intense thrash albums ever. Its best to listen to it all the way through (its only 30 minutes) so you can truly appreciate the pure intensity and brutality. You will headband to all 10 tracks. Buy It!

Digitally remastered by Eddy Schreyer (November 1993, Future Disc).
With their second album, co-produced by Metal Blade's headbanging head honcho Brian Slagel, Satanic thrashers Slayer upped the ante from their debut in every way. More graphic album art, breakneck tempos, gruesome lyrics, and proper production gave the band a punchier sound while retaining their native aggression. Whereas their debut sounded like a band flirting with the dark side, HELL AWAITS is where ...

The album that started it all for these L.A. thrash progenitors--and helped usher in the speed and thrash metal movement of the '80s, and later the extreme metal underground of the '90s --still sounds fresh. In order to achieve their own special style, Slayer incorporated the faster, darker elements of Judas Priest and meshed it with the punk brutality of Motorhead, albeit without the bluesy roots of either of those British bands. While the ...

Reign In Blood songs
$8.15 
After guitarist Dave Mustaine was booted out of Metallica in 1983, he immediately returned home to San Francisco and formed Megadeth. The new outfit was instantly compared to Mustaine's former band, and the comparisons haven't subsided since. Whereas both outfits shared such musical elements as muted guitar riffs and speedy rhythms, Megadeth's first album seemed to be more influenced by punk and hardcore. KILLING IS MY BUSINESS AND BUSINESS IS GOOD also saw Mustaine's debuting his lead-vocal skills.
Mustaine must have had a lot of pent-up anger to express, since KILLING is simply explosive from beginning to end. The brutal title track lyrically deals with a sniper who revels in hunting down his unsuspecting prey. Nancy Sinatra's hit "These Boots are Made For Walking" is redone as a blinding speed metal ditty. Other highlights include the album opening "Last Rites/Loved to Death" and the pro-heavy metal "Rattlehead." The album-closing "Mechanix" had previously surfaced-as "The Four Horsemen," with different lyrics-on Metallica's ...

Slayer built a rabid following with faster-than-light thrash metal, eerie, disturbing lyrics, and bassist/singer Tom Araya's screamed vocals. 1986's REIGN IN BLOOD, a blinding metal classic that clocked in at below a half hour in length and was produced by Rick Rubin, put the band on the metal map. Although Slayer was ...

With 1986's REIGN IN BLOOD, Slayer reached the pinnacle of its rapid-fire, speed metal style. For the band's next effort, instead of embracing its hardcore roots even further, the band retraced its metal influences, namely Black Sabbath. 1988's SOUTH OF HEAVEN surprised many fans because it contained several mid-paced, dirge-like ...

Figueira, MarcoBlue ToucanBrazillianceLatinPerformance: 4Sound: 4 O's Notes: Marco sings, plays guitar, produces and wrote most of the popular Brazilian music on this CD. He caught our attention with the second song, "Minha", with sweet trumpet from Claudio Roditi and smooth natural strings. The samba feeling was fully kicked in by track 3, "Amizade" an upbeat relaxer. It continued including cool covers of "Corcovado", "Aguas de MarÂo" and "Feito N-s". It's a happy session and a strong debut for Figueira.O's Place Jazz Favorites osplacejazz This charming collection of twelve songs, all sung in Portuguese and playey by a superb team of Brazilian/Cuban musicians, gives reign to a variety of moods and rhythms. Marco is a very experienced purveyor of the vocal art, conjuring memories of Sergio Mendez and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Claudio, Hendrik and Oscar are featured soloists on several tracks and they each add their own magic to this wonderful music, but it is the highly talented Marco who consistently entertains throughout this disc. It may not be Jazz per se, but it is certainly Jazz influenced. Don't miss the pleasure of listening to this music. Al Merritt - Jazznow. Marco Figueira Braziliance (Blue Toucan)Warm and relaxed, Marco Figueira's singing here is ideally suited for the smooth jazz mood. As the album title indicates, the music deftly brings in and blends the gently rhythmic sounds of Brazil. Some of the songs are Marco's own while others are drawn from the song books of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Milton Nascimento and other South American composers. Among Marco's accompanists are guitarist Paulo Andre Tavares, pianist Helio Alves, bassist Sergio Brandão, with guest trumpeter Claudio RoditiBruce Crowther-The Encyclopedia of Popular Music/UKJAZZ . . . and other obsessions - Bruce Crowther's Website Review: Whatever it is that makes a listener fall in love with Brazilian music--the insouciance and elegance of an unobtrusive, yet driving beat, the romance that drips like honey from lips of a vocalist singing in Portuguese, or just the exotic sounds and rhythms from a tropical land--the listener will likewise fall in love with the music on the new CD by guitarist/singer/songwriter Marco Figueira, Brazilliance. Reviewed by: Craig W. HurstCopyright© 2004 JazzReviewSinger, guitarist and songwriter Marco Figueira was born in Carangola, a small town in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. His love of music found its expression early on, when he began to sing and play guitar at the age of eight. In 1988, Marco fulfilled a long-held dream of moving to New York City. It was here that he quickly established himself as both a solo performer and bandleader, playing for a devoted following in a wide variety of venues. ...
