Happy National Day of Slayer!

Slayer, along with Hellhammer and Bathory, essentially invented the sound of modern underground metal by combining the drum-independent guitar phrases of hardcore with the structured riffing and songs of NWOBHM, producing a ferocious new sound that addicted all who encountered it. The power of this music is its grasp of rhythms that, as if emulating the walk of a person with focused mind and goal in sight, drive forward in marginally increasing mathematics but by maintaining momentum allow the band to augment it through repetition, in the classic doom style gaining intensity through ongoing ambience; layers fall together slowly and in the cycling re-iteration become both more normalized and prominent.
