The time has come again to enjoy the one holiday that celebrates metal culture and its power, the International Day of Slayer.
This year features another classic Slayer live show from Groningen, NL in 1985, with many of the eternal Slayer favorites played live with military precision.
In the meantime, join us in celebrating:
Who is Slayer
Slayer is a band from California. Their music has come to epitomize Satanic speed metal music in the latter half of the 20th century. Their 1986 album Reign in Blood ranks as one of the single most influential metal albums of all time, typified by the modern classic “Angel of Death.”
How to Celebrate
- Listen to Slayer at full blast in your car.
- Listen to Slayer at full blast in your home.
- Listen to Slayer at full blast at your place of employment.
- Listen to Slayer at full blast in any public place you prefer.
DO NOT use headphones! The objective of this day is for everyone within earshot to understand that it is the National Day of Slayer. National holidays in America aren’t just about celebrating; they’re about forcing it upon non-participants.
Taking that participation to a problematic level
- Stage a “Slay-out.” Don’t go to work. Listen to Slayer.
- Have a huge block party that clogs up a street in your neighborhood. Blast Slayer albums all evening. Get police cruisers and helicopters on the scene. Finish with a full-scale riot.
- Spray paint Slayer logos on churches, synagogues, or cemeteries.
- Play Slayer covers with your own band (since 99% of your riffs are stolen from Slayer anyway).
- Kill the neighbor’s dog and blame it on Slayer.

The sentiment goes:
1st album best metal album in general
2nd album Moar King Diamond
3rd album – third time’s the charm for me. 10/10
1st: Iron Maiden and Judas Priest run through a hardcore punk filter
2nd: More Judas Priest, King Diamond, and Discharge
3rd: More Exploited and Cro-Mags
No one wants to hear the details. It’s end result that matters.
When you defecate after a bad hangover and you have panic attacks, do you want to hear every molecular parasitic detail on how the colon works?
More DRI and TSOL, I think you mean
probably listened to reign in blood more times than the other three albums combined. no there arent any more. undisputed attitude is fun though.
This day is also Sweden’s national day, when the Kalmar union with Denmark ended
Kinda un related but is there any metal discussion place where people don’t just start calling you gay for slight disagreements? Yeah whatever asking that is gay but I have bros who I can talk to about metal discussion without the edgy, funny meme culture of nowadays, and this place seems ok for that given how brett stevens writes, and yeha I have a few bros but they’re always busy now.
Around here, since this site is the gayest metal site ever to exist, calling someone “gay” is like saying “hello.” But good points.
this site is mainly homoerotic fiction
We are going to change the logo to the rainbow flag.
Flinging shit for disagreements is a metallic tradition almost as old as metal.
Black metal did it to death metal, even though death metal was great, and meaningfully similar to (but distinct from) black metal.
I will not mock you for a preference of one good band over another, but I will tell you how it is, that is to say, that you are a fool or a faggot, if:
You say that Dissection is one of the greats (foolish, but your heart may be in the right place)
You say that Cradle of Filth is in any way great (Faggy, and for this you deserve to be killed, then group raped)
I’m sensing Islamic vibes here, so you might wanna take it easy and go masturbate to Brett banging a somalian goat or something.
Dissection: decent music, but not great, and there’s nothing else to it.
Cradle of filth: OK funderground music instrumentally (first albums at least), that is mostly ruined by the bad vocalist. Hecate Enthroned is the better option, although still bad. There are worse things out there (Opeth, Pantera, Burzum etc.)
Now go get that prostate massage you’re desperately in need of.
I’m not sure anyone would ever really be talking about Dissection if no one had died but I like the last album.
Burzum on the other hand I don’t think could exist at all without people dying.

Immaculate taste.
Slayer was a great band, though I like Sodom better now. Demolition Hammer, Revenant, and Exhorder’s first album are examples of Death/Thrash, a genre that disappeared and never came back as metal was transiting from Thrash to Death.
Possessed, Necromonicon, Kreator, Rigor Mortis, etc might fit in well too for speed/death.
mock Heaven
Excellent bands but Slayer is eternal.
