The Bloody Reign of Slayer by Joel McIver Book Summary

When the Los Angeles thrash metal band Slayer redefined the parameters of heavy music in 1986 with the horrific Reign In Blood album, few of their fans would have predicted that, nearly a quarter of a century later, their fame would be undimmed and their subject matter still as controversial as ever. 

Slayer's distinctive musical attack has guaranteed the band's residence at the peak of the extreme metal scene, with the unearthly lead Guitar wails of Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King, Dave Lombardo's world-class drums and tom Araya's unique vocals accompanying a fearless lyrical approach. 

However, Slayer have moved with the times: when their mosh pit anthems about serial killers and Satanism became outmoded, the band addressed fresh outrages such as religious terrorism, genocide and war, always accompanied by artwork that has achieved cult status in its own right. The controversy surrounding them has been endless, with authorities even accusing Slayer of a white supremacist agenda and Nazi sympathies - just one myth explored and refuted in The Bloody Reign Of Slayer, the first ever biography of this unique band. 
Joel McIver's expert biography traces the band's development, album by album, as well as exploring the headline-grabbing moments over Slayer's long and tumultuous career which have become an inseparable part of the cult which surrounds and defines them.

Ehhh.... So far its okay. The one big problem I have with these unauthorized bio's on metal bands is the author always seems to think "his" opinion on each and every song is not an opinion at all, but rather a fact! Its absolute bullcrap, I do think the history in it seems okay(nothing new here, just info on each album) but man it really makes me want to put the book down when he starts on some of these rants, at one point even believing so much in his "opinion" that when Tom Araya names his favorite songs, he basically says something in the vein of "He's wrong and Im right". Everyone is entitled to an opinion and yes, there will always be songs that a majority of people dont like. But dont sit there and analyze and review each song, thats what the individual listeners job is. This is Slayer were talking about here...if your purchasing this book, you most likely know their discography

AWESOME!. A fittin’ tribute to Jeff.
