Slayer is a somewhat controversial American Thrash Metal band formed in 1983 in Huntington Park, California. Slayer is best known for speaking through perspective without being necessarily sympathetic to the cause of their inspiration. Slayer's musical traits involve fast tremolo picking, guitar solos, double bass drumming, and shouting vocals. The band's lyrics and album art, which cover topics such as death, deviants, genocide, necrophilia, insanity, religion, Satanism, serial killers, and warfare have generated album bans, delays, lawsuits and strong criticism from religious groups and the general public.
The current line up for the band is
Tom Araya - bass and vocals Jeff Hanneman - guitar Kerry King - guitar Dave Lombardo - drums
I'm not a huge fan of the band but I occasionally listen to their music despite being Catholic.
