join us in the mosh pit with these
thrash metal pioneers welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten
Slayer songs
for this list we’ve chosen our entries
based on a combination of the Bands fan
favorites and their most commercially
successful songs
number ten chemical warfare
just from that opening riff the listener
is already being set up for some damage
– okay
chemical warfare is about war and the
use of modern tactics that rely on
chemicals to eradicate opposing soldiers
fast and aggressive the Slayer tracked
pounds on to the beat of the proverbial
and literal drum
originally released as part of their
first EP the thrash metal number was so
popular it was added as a bonus track to
the reissue of their first albums show
no mercy
number nine black magic
the slow rising intro builds up into
this killer memorable track from Slayers
debut full-length
Carrie King and Jeff Hanneman shred
through this song with memorable riffs
and dazzling solos as Dave Lombardo’s
power drumming and Tom Mariah’s haunting
vocals blend with the wicked themes of
satanic rituals and possession
to fight
Levin in evil harmony is capable of
producing the same fear in the listener
that the narrator experiences as demons
pull him down to the depths of hell
another to this
number eight dead skin mask
serial killers are a common theme for
these metal giants as the perverse acts
performed by these disturbed minds
brought chills from anyone who listens
to the stories
dead skin mask is a song about famed
maniac ed gein that succeeds in doing
just that
from the opening twisted whispers of a
deranged killer to the chill inducing
cries of children begging to be let out
this track plays out like a real-life
horror story
number seven disciples
if ever there was a song that represents
pure chaos it’s this one
drugs war murder you name it
disciple relates the evil nature of
humankind and how God surely must hate
us for being such wretched creations
singer Tom Araya roars away as Carrie
Kings twisted screechy guitar play fills
our ears
despite the impurity being churned out
disciple serves as a sort of catharsis
cleansing all the negativity and just
letting the listener go buckwild
number six hell awaits
papé storytelling is a slayer staple
and with brutal yet quality musicianship
present throughout the title cut of
their sophomore effort the listener can
certainly feel the coming of hell and
all the evil it holds
fast and fierce is a theme in hell
awaits
guitars and drums blare swiftly as the
lyrics are almost incomprehensible with
the vicious velocity at which the singer
spews them
and let’s not forget about the demonic
voice that echoes along with it all
number five south of heaven
it’s safe to say that the members of
Slayer aren’t known for being the
politically correct type and they call
things as they see them
much is the same for this 5-minute track
serving as an exaggeration of the
immorality found in today’s society
which they believe lacks ethical
integrity
it’s less about a coming apocalypse and
more about how far south from heaven the
earth and its miserable inhabitants have
gone
as is usual for a slayer song there are
some crazy riffs and solos galore
number four Worrell
one of the most iconic moments in the
band’s vast catalog of songs occurs when
singer Tom Araya blasts a single word
that echoes in your soul war
as fierce and aggressive as it may be
worrell Samba is still mocking this
sport we should support the act of men
killing each other
after all it’s about how many people you
can kill
from the technical side of things ah
inspiring and inventive drumming
complements the thrashing solos and
blistering guitars
number three seasons in the abyss
the title track of their seasons in the
abyss album starts off at a slowed down
tempo and pace gradually builds tension
and culminates in pure thrashing power
with blazing solos brutal drumming and
chilling vocals Slayer guides us on a
morose walk to insanity
the album’s longest song is also their
most deranged and that’s saying
something
you
intricate and overpowering the
six-and-a-half minute track conjures up
pictures of serial killers savageness
murder and darkness
into the abyss we go
number two Angel of Death
based on the Nazi physician Joseph
Mengele and his horrific experiments
angel of death is a thrash metal
masterpiece that offers fast and filthy
musicality that has also stirred
controversy
the way suits
after being labeled Nazi sympathizers
the band refuted these claims noting how
the song’s lyrics do not glorify any act
but simply relate these horrible crimes
as a world war ii documentary would
whatever the case rain and Bloods opener
is still played at every show they
perform and the fans still love it
before we reveal our number one Slayer
song here are some honorable mentions
in your existence
like a disease
yeah
alright assistant
number one raining blood
Thunder is heard drumbeats slowly chills
run up and down our spine as hell is
Unleashed with this tracks devilish
opening riff that leads to furious
guitar thrashing
widely considered one of the greatest
heavy metal songs of all time
raining blood takes the listener through
a satanic wet dream as we literally hear
the sky tearing up and the blood pouring
on our banging head
player does indeed rain in blood
