1. Hell Awaits / Haunting the Chapel 2. Reign in Blood 3. South of Heaven 4. Seasons in the Abyss 5. The rest ... :)

Reign in Blood will always be #1 for me. Absolutely flawless. Seasons, South of Heaven and Hell Awaits are all fantastic, but those have a couple of tracks that I may skip. Not the case with Reign in Blood. 28 minutes of perfection. No letting up at any point.

Slayer were SO good until the album Divine Intervention...then they tried to do other things, they tried to be made more "modern", but the results were disappointing for me at least...I didn't really like any of the albums that came after Divine Intervention...

@@turdfurguson4451 Personally, I think God Hates Us All is a better album. Top to bottom it kicks ass and finishes with Payback, one of my favorite tunes by them. Add to the fact that I seen them 6 times on this tour, it became a favorite of mine. Great memories behind this album. As for Haunting the Chapel, might be an EP but it was where Chemical Warfare and Captor of Sin were introduced to us. Don't much care if it had 10 more songs or not, those are staples in a Slayer diet. I ranked them as I like them.

never forget buying Hell Awaits back in 1985..A real WTF moment. So love the way the title track changes gear twice then full throttle, I had never heard anything like it, and I did have Venom's debut album. 1. Reign In Blood (saw them in 87 on that tour in Birmingham UK, they had the audacity to use Symptom of the Universe as intro music in Sabbaths home city. And I still have the T Shirt) 2. Seasons in the Abyss 3. Hell Awaits 4. Haunting the Chapel 5. South of Heaven

Divine Intervention is a great album.

Excellent episode!

Thanks for including Haunting The Chapel. It’s only an EP but I’ve always thought of it as their second album. That’s when they became more aggressive. I love all Slayer!!!

Fantastic show. So good to see and hear the legendary Brian Slagel. The US heavy metal scene owes him (and Metal Blade) so much. Nr1 Show no mercy and South of Heaven (very different albums but amazingly strong song writing, top to bottom). Nr 2: Hell awaits and Reign in blood, their darkest, fastest and meanest two albums. The 2 albums that pioneered and forged the foundation of extreme metal.

First Slayer show I saw ,was on the Haunting the chapel Tour when I was 15. Cabaret Metro in Chicago about 300 in attendance. They played Necrophiliac which was super cool. I remember Hanneman peeing into a 5 gallon bucket on side stage and them drinking Budweiser 🍺 great memories!

Pete, @littlepunkpeople is a great addition to your roundtable! Elliott is insightful for every album he ranks: Year Released, Musicians involved in the recording, Favorite Songs and why the album is important to him, personally...parenting done well! Although I don't own much of Slayer's later catalog, I thought 'Repentless' was awful due to the logy drumming by Paul Bostaph. The timing feels uncomfortable to the point where he is falling behind the beat rather than being on-top-or-ahead of it. Albeit an exception to the list, it found its way on there nonetheless and with that I mean, 'Live, Undead.' I think that is the best representation of that earlier material; it is more intense, visceral, stentorian and downright frightening. That said, here is my 'Top 5 Slayer' 5 - Seasons In The Abyss (Besides the title track and 'War Ensemble,' I thought the album was (overall) pretty "sleepy" with songs that didn't catch my attention...yet good enough to make my Top 5. 4 - Reign In Blood (Too short...I also own the copy on DefJam with 'Reigning Blood' botched by mastering gone awry. For years, I never knew where the song started and ended!) 3 - South Of Heaven (This was my first Slayer album I purchased on CD...#nostalgia. The title track, 'Ghosts Of War' and the artwork are enough for me to rank it this high) 2 - Show No Mercy (This bridged the gap between NWOBHM and extreme metal for me...Slayer at their most melodic and with songs that make it into their sets to this day!) 1 - Live Undead/Haunting The Chapel (Even though it was 1988 when I took the chance and purchased it, the cassette of the HTC EP was my first ever foray into "extreme/black metal"). I was scared beyond belief, but felt there was something worth mining. Due to its brevity, I was able to compute its raw energy and come to accept its horrorshow lyrics that ultimately influenced me to go back and purchase 'Show No Mercy.' Combined with 'Live Undead' there is no better combination than those two releases (Studio EP and Live LP)...kudos to @metalbladerecords I would be a fabulist if I said Slayer was an integral part of my adolescence...they were not. While, 'Live Undead' is still VERY nostalgic to me, I think it still ranks as the best representation of their early catalog. IMO, there is no better recording of 'Die By The Sword' than on 'Live Undead.' Cheers, B

Hell Awaits is my favourite, and I think it's an absolute masterpiece. It sports brilliant use of reverb, and I love the way it seems to be 'bookended' by the fade in at the start and the fade out at the end. The lead guitar breaks sit perfectly in the mix too, I sometimes find Slayer leads to be a bit too spikey sounding when they are brought up in level up and sitting proud. And the artwork is awesome too, just to top it off..Hell awaaaaaaiiiiiiiitts!!!!!!!!!

Its amazing that Steve Keeler is wearing Krisium tee! Cheers from Brazil! 🤘

1.) Seasons in the Abyss - All great songs with no filler. The one I re-listen to the most. 2.) Hell Awaits - Love the insane energy and the imagery of the lyrics 3.) Reign in Blood - Legendary album to be sure, but there's a couple filler tracks in the middle that prevents me from ranking it more highly. 4.) South of Heaven 5.) God Hates Us All - Disciple, Bloodline and Warzone are some of my favorite songs of their whole work 6.) Divine Intervention - production/mixing could be better, but overall good songs. Some of the darkest most disturbing lyrics of their whole career! 7.) World Painted Blood 8.) Repentless 9.) Christ Illusion 10.) Diabolus - Some filler tracks, but not as bad as its made to be. 11.) Show No Mercy - I respect the ground work laid on the album and the signature songs like Black Magic, The Antichrist and the title track, but it's not something I want to listen to again. 12.) Undisputed Attitude - OK cover album. I got to see Slayer on the Final Tour at the Oakland Arena in Oakland back in November 2019. It was intense. They kicked lots of ass and certainly went out on top!

Christ IIlusion is their second worst album right after Repentless. It has all the proper Slayer ingredients except memorable songs(with the exception of Cult and maybe another). I can't make it through it without becoming bored. Then God Hates Us All is their third Worst. I'd put World Painted Blood as the best of the 2000's. And I think other than three good songs South Of Heaven is kind of a boring album. It's lifted up by South Of Heaven, Spill The Blood, and Ghosts of War, and a classic sound and production. But it was the first Slayer album that felt like it had filler on it for me. Seasons for me was the album where they peaked. They took basically took S.O.H. and sped it up a bit and wrote better songs.

I have heard ALL their albums MANY times and after all these years and after all these listenings, Reign in Blood is still my favorite album of them...and it will always be

Agree with Elliott for this one - Seasons

In tribute, I listened to a Raining Blood live version video and Angel of Death while watching/reading this.. (close caption). I wasn't that into Slayer back when my kids were little because their faces were like 😳😩😫. But now they like Slayer, hard rock, metal, thrash metal, etc. now that they're in their 30's. Great show. ✌️🤟

My personal favorites: 3. Show No Mercy 2. Hell Awaits 1. Raining Blood.

Mine first listening of Slayer was "Hell awaits" in 1985 and i love it from the beginning. Then 1st album, but didn't like it maybe, because of very low quality bootleged tape. And even after "Reign" came in, the 2nd remain my favorite. I think first 5 albums it's a Slayer's classics.

I really don't listen to much metal these days. Was a huge Slayer fan for quite a long time. But I still to this day pull out "Hell Awaits" from time to time. Very progressive, almost like if Yes put out a thrash album.

Show No Mercy for me... I bought it here in the UK on import from a metal hang out called Shades Records.... I must have been one of the first guys in Europe to own a copy! Still have it... Metal Blade Records and the album cover were enough for me! Sx

I love all of Slayer's catalog but their first six albums are MASTERPIECES to me. My top six at the time would have to be. 6. South Of Heaven 5. Hell Awaits 4. Divine Intervention 3. Seasons In The Abyss 2. Reign In Blood 1. Show No Mercy

Nice to see so many comments ranking South of Heaven as Number 1. It was my introduction to Slayer so is special to me, I’ve read that Kerry King slags it off which I don’t get. But for me, it’s impossible to choose between Reign in Blood, South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss.

I understand putting at South of Heaven at 7th, because it was a letdown from Reign In Blood. It did grow on me, but I hear where Pete's coming from.

Have the bootleg vhs of that Forum Reign show, from back before youtube existed haha. Reign and South of Heaven are tied for first with Seasons following shortly after.

Hell - Reign - South 10/10 Show - Seasons 9/10 Divine 8/10 God - World - Repentless 7/10 Diabolus - Christ 6/10

Every show was killer!

I still like Diabolus in Musica. It was a nice bridge for me at the time. I was 15, hadn't really latched on to Slayer or much of any faster metal; I gravitated towards heavier mid-paced stuff at the time. I was at the record store one day, saw that Slayer had released a new album (this is 1998) and decided to give them another chance and bought it. It had a good mix of mid-paced heavy shit I liked, but I was finding I started liking the faster parts more, so I started getting their earlier albums and digging more into thrash in general. I get why it's at the bottom of their lists though. Some of those songs were great live as well. \,,/

Surprised no RiB at #1, but glad two of the choices were 'Show No Mercy'. That album has it's own charm and is frequently overlooked.

1. Seasons in the Abyss 2. Show No Mercy 3. Reign in Blood 4. South of Heaven 5. Hell Awaits 6. Undisputed Attitude 7. Divine Intervention 8. Diabolus In Musica 9. Relentless 10. God Hates Us All 11. World Painted Blood 12. Christ Illusion

can you guys put a time stamp to where you talk about the albums that matter?

Here's mine: Hell Awaits Reign in Blood Show no Mercy/Haunting the Chapel (since it came out soon after their debut) I stopped regularly listening to Slayer afterwards and moved on to heavier stuff (since I was very disappointed in South of Heaven). I first heard of Slayer when someone played Show no Mercy at a party (~early 84). At the same party, someone played Venom Black Metal as well. I got hooked since then.

Reign In Blood is a classic, boundary-shifting album, but I like HA, SOH and SITA better.

My #1 is Show No Mercy. So many underrated gems on this record that were rarely a part of their livesets: Die by the Sword, Black Magic, Metal Storm/Face the Slayer, the title track Show no Mercy, and my personal favorite Slayer song: the criminally underrated Crionics! Besides a demo version or two, most of these songs were disappointingly not even included on Slayer's Soundtrack to the Apocalypse boxset with 4 or 5 discs. Show No Mercy, not the incredible production quality of Reign in Blood, probably even lacks the absolute 100% perfect bangers like Angel of Death, but overall my favorite thrash record by any of the big 4.

I want to see one of these types of videos with all the Megadeth or Metallica albums
