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 a bunch of longhairs, it wasn't uncommon to see hardcore skinheads slamming away at the band's shows. But 1988's SOUTH OF HEAVEN alienated many of Slayer's punk fans, as the group slowed their speed metal to a Black Sabbath-like crawl.

1990's SEASONS IN THE ABYSS follows its predecessor's formula. The album was embraced by metal-heads everywhere, eventually earning Slayer its first gold-certified record. The furious opening "War Ensemble" is a throwback to Slayer's earlier speed metal direction, while the album-closing title track is a murky, swarming chunk of metal. Other standouts include the chilling "Dead Skin Mask," which dealt lyrically with notorious killer Ed Gein, "Blood Red," "Expendable Youth," "Hallowed Point," and "Skeletons of Society." For fans of extreme-metal, it doesn't get any better than Slayer's SEASONS IN THE ABYSS.

Out of print in the U.S.! For nearly 25 years, Slayer have remained the most important and influential Speed Metal band in history. Seasons In The Abyss s their 1990 album featuring 10 tracks including 'War Ensemble', 'Expendable Youth', 'Skeletons Of Society' and more. Warner.

Recorded at Hit City West, Hollywood Sound, California and Record Plant, Los Angeles, California.

Slayer: Tom Araya (vocals, bass); Jeff Hanneman, Kerry King (guitar); Dave Lombardo (drums).

Entertainment Weekly (11/9/90) - "..Very heavy metal of the thrash kind.." - Rating: B+

5 stars Talk of the town
THis is an album I dont mind buying on CD, though I own it on cassette. When this album came out it was Reign in blood madness all over again. Every one had a copy and every one who played an instrument (which most Metalheads do or did when I was growing up) was trying to learn this album. Slayer tried Melody on South of Heaven even a differant vocal sounds. On this album they perfected it.

I love this album to death literally. Alot of good songs. Personally my favorite was Skeletons of Society a hard hitting song with smart lyrics and great riffs. And as for the person who said it was boring why dont u check out the album or some of the songs first before u judge it.
