Ominously released on 9/11/2001, Slayer’s “God Hates Us All’ was met with critical praise as a return to their form, calling back to their “Reign in Blood” days. It was a slightly more modern album as well, bringing in a new producer to help get the band into the computer age without losing their raw metal energy. The result was a quintessential slayer album that lyrically focuses more on real-world atrocities like their later albums but musically sticks to their guns.
The harbingers of satan, doom calling the end of all before the might of hell itself, Slayer built an empire in thrash metal only to be equal to Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax. The California band was able to make cross-appeal among punk and hip-hop fans as well as get metal heads into the aforementioned genres with their covers and style. Their influence also helped create extreme metal genres like death, black and grind. Beyond all of that, they’ve risen to the mainstream with the constant controversy stirred by their “Don’t give a f*ck” attitude.
