Slayer is one of the fiercest, most influential and arguably one of the BEST thras bands with a very identifiable sound that can not be mistaken for any other band.
Slayer changed the metal game in 1986 with Reign in Blood, with every extreme metal band now trying to live up to the likes of this metal band.
