Reign in Blood Turns Forty and Slayer Plays it in Full

Legendary speed metal band Slayer — a proto-underground coven of wizardry like Sodom, Rigor Mortis, Hellhammer, and Bathory — introduced Reign in Blood four decades ago this month.

To get Generation X out of its backoffice closet jobs and hidden housing in the lee of industrial parks, the band has announced that it will play two shows in DINK strongholds that reproduce the album entirely.

“Slayer marks the anniversary with two US headline shows featuring the album performed in full, including their first LA show in seven years.” This is the album that your grandparents banned!

  • Friday The 4th of September, Shakopee, MN (Mystic Lake Amphitheater)
  • Friday The 13th of November, Los Angeles, CA (The Kia Forum)

    Don’t forget to mention Plato or Nietzsche somewhere, lest one should listen to music like a normal person, and enjoy it for what it is.

    You can’t wipe your ass properly if you don’t include deep nihilistic philosophy.

    1. Freya Helvig says:

      Wipe my anus without reading Schopenhauer, are you insane? I can’t rub my clit and cum hard if I don’t read me some Nietzsche.

      Truly, fuck this site.

      This is war, hayuwhauwhauhgs, because Bratt needs to tell the world he’s a fucking Christian; everything has got to be dogmatic, or else it’s a sperg-fest.

      He’ll say “but not so, I’m trying to bring the glory days of paganism and monistic anal fisting back! You gotta believe me!”

      That’s exactly my point, why are you so fucking dogmatic?

      1. 666 says:

        Don’t you ever wipe your ass…just because it’s there?

      2. Bradley says:

        Uh… what?

      3. Flying Kites says:

        Is your mom named Brunhilde?

        1. Freya Helvig says:

          Viking race = crying orks? That Kristian “Varg” Vikernes asswipe didn’t even stay in his own country out of fear of being assassinated for being a useless idiot. He married an autistic chinless french woman like himself who tries to be aryan, now lives on welfare and he gets praised on this site by a troglodyte looking Texan under a fake name who has absolutely nothing even remotely connective with western europe, neither genetically, nor politically, nor even spiritually despite claiming otherwise.

          The self-absorbed psychopath thinks he has a monolopy on art and reality, when nothing could be further from the truth. Of course this site is going to go nowhere, anyone with a 3-digit IQ knows that, I’m here just to let you know that you’re even more retarded than the woketards, just because I can, just because I derive sadistic pleasure out of seeing the weak fail.

          1. Bradley says:

            Uh-huh, okay dude.

          2. chubthumpah says:

            Calm down. You sound hysterical.

          3. 666 says:

            My interpretation of bretts project is that overpopulation is the culmination of many stupidities and leads to the greatest evil that is ecocide and that this hubristic behavior must be understood and overcome if mankind is to achieve more than mere survival if he is lucky, particularly in our age of dawning high technology.

          4. Hessian Murderer of Black Death says:

            Burzum is good. That is all that matters

    2. Bradley says:

      You’re normal? You’re commenting on this website, so that’s impossible.

      1. ANUS Prober says:

        These guys come here from social media. They want to smash us down because we do not validate their midwit taste in music. They usually start out by saying that we are irrelevant. But they’re here, telling us why we should lower our standards. Then no one answers them and they realize they are nobodies with angry manlet takes. Then they sperg, sell all their metal, and go on to the next trend.

        1. Hessian Murderer of Black Death says:

          lol

          1. Freya Helvig says:

            Any moron with an IQ of three digits can see this site is useless wankery, I only come here because I want to take a dump.

            1. The Lady Doth Protest Too Much says:

              So you say, but you’re searching for relevance, where ours is established.

              That makes you… a slave.

        2. Ever wish the human race didn't exist? says:

          If only. I think a lot of people just have not attained the ability to truly despise mankind so they’ll just go on consuming things that do not challenge the values they take for granted, which is almost everything.

        3. Freya Helvig says:

          Congrats dipshit, you’ve proven my point a million times over.

          Who the fuck says I’m from social media? Not everything is a meme, this is my opinion alone that this site is faux-Christianity, and that Brett is the internet’s number one wanker. Of course I know that’s not his real name, but who fucking cares.

          1. 666 says:

            Ur right bretts just doing his thing and no one really cares hun

      2. GoreManiac says:

        This is npc hostile territory.

        1. Freya Helvig says:

          I’ve seen Brett’s face, Amerimutt at it’s worst. Don’t be fooled by his fake 3-digit IQ number, he’s the definition of idiot-savant at best, but ultimately a dysgenic pile of garbage that only God could have mercy on. He’s a try-hard piece of dog-vomit that can’t parse simple logic, and sticks to religious dogma, despite denying it. I can write a fucking book on this vermin.

          1. ANUS Observer says:

            Mask off and ressentiment revealed. Starless and Bible black.

          2. GoreManiac says:

            You seem like an interesting person.

            Modern america is a dysgenic cesspit lorded over by the “chosen” desert tribe.

            1. Southern Poverty Whatever says:

              The Yankees are losing influence however. The churches where they cried for Irish immigration are burning. The SPLC just got outed as fake and gay race communism. The AfD and SPÖ are polling higher than the pro-American parties. It’s a brave new world.

          3. Bradley says:

            Sure thing man.

  2. Anal Tantrum says:

    Still better than five niners of metal.

  3. Freya Helvig says:

    Oh you think I’m going to give you a pat on the back for this one? Slayer has been dead since Reign in Blood, nobody cares beyond that album except for those that have nothing going on in their lives.

  4. Cynical says:

    Not sure where you got the date from — every source I can find puts the release date as October 7, in which case it wouldn’t turn 40 for several more months.

    1. Aimee Bock says:

      Slayer is advertising the shows as a celebration of the album’s 40th anniversary and – in case it matters – they won’t be until closer to that 10/7 date.

      It’s also worth noting that the MN show will feature an abrupt pause for The Adhan, all concessions will be halal, and billing for tickets will be handled by warlords based out of Mogadishu.

    2. Flying Kites says:

      BLOOD’s Mental Conflicts was recorded a couple months before its release date and the Scorpio Moon and Venus combination is quite telling.

  5. Brosef Mengele says:

    Auschwitz – The peaning of Maine

  6. Bela Lugosi Is Undead says:

    Wondering if any more content on electronica will be discussed here. Probably not, only thing more dead than extreme metal is this blog. What is the current sentiment on today’s incarnation of plunderphonics in contemporary “vaporwave” or “barber beats”? Just leftist virtue signaling and artistic laziness? I think so. Perhaps there’s the occasional gem hiding in the dung heap? If you even believe in that sort of thing; I certainly don’t.

    Anyway, going to go back to vibecoding production critical computer infrastructure while listening to kcuf and blasting cum tributes to Brett Stevens.

  7. Doug says:

    When Blood keeps having to cancel shows because of misc. STD’s, it’s time for their manager to rein in Blood.

  8. 666 says:

    Pretty sure Sewerslvt is the only electronic music from the past 20 years that I listen to on a regular basis.

    But thinking about vaporwave sort of crap, George Clanton’s project Esprit is good.

    1. Bela Lugosi is Undead says:

      +1 for George Clanton. I think the potential for plunderphonics as a whole is largely squandered in this space though.

      1. 666 says:

        No doubt. I can’t think of anything else off the top of my head I’d listen to although I haven’t dug into it much, but it does seem overwhelmingly bad. Clanton puts on a great show btw.

  9. Freya Helvig (the true) says:

    It’s a duplicate bot, I’ve seen it before because I work with AI. Just ban the name to confound its algorithm and it’ll pass.

    I’ll post under a different name if I care enough in the future.
