Since the band is no longer active, Slayer has turned its focus toward preserving its place in history as arguably the most powerful and interesting metal band of all time. To that end, the band has launched the “Slaytanic Verses: Live Assaults 1981 Through Today” website.
Like the Internet Archive which is currently down due to DDOS attacks, this Slayer archive preserves the past against the ravages of the present, namely the tendency of people to throw things out or have relationships fail, storage unit bills go unpaid, or suffer floods like the unlucky few getting hammered by Hurricane Milton right now.
Expect photos, flyers, and a history told through footnotes about the locations and events that launched Slayer and made the band a household name for the non plus ultra of 1980s metal. It is basically a master class in the history of Slayer, speed metal, and heavy metal as a culture.

As a secret vampire from Transylvania, which none shall know my know name in the pantheon, I state that Reign in blood together with Transilvanian Hunger and Nightside Eclipse, is amongst the must-haves…

I’m glad this site – really the only sane metal/metal-related one around – made a topic about this.
I stumbled upon this project earlier in the week and it quickly brightened an otherwise shitty day. You’ve done it again Slayer, you magnificent bastards!
I really like how sharp and succinct the presentation is. It totally fits the band. The content (or “artifacts”) coming from in-house collections is also a nice touch, especially because they could have easily overdone it with way too many examples coming from all over the place.
Very cool that they had the presence of mind to launch something like this.
Indeed. Other than the web interface, it reminds me of those old directory archives… you click on a subdirectory, and it’s full of stuff on that topic.
Great title they have chosen: Slaytanic Verses” – hope our Muslim, eh…, friends won’t make them lose an eye and an arm for it
Slayer might unite all three weeds from the same root in hating Slayer, and that could be really something, you know what I mean bro.
‘One wonders- if I understand you correctly you are saying three root reasons for Slayer’s (former/diseased /present) bandmembers to hate themselves for
1) not having musically evolved
2) not having been allowed/successfully tried to musically evolve due to a) the pressure to live up to fan and b) marketing expectations
and/or
3) for having no idea as to how to come up with anything new or hitherto unsaid/remotely relevant?
I think he refers to Jews, Christians and Muslims.
Haha, that means most of us! What about “the Chinese” – do they actually ‘do’ or show any appreciation of (death) metal?
Ok genius

Oh yeah fuck horrorcore rap metal hip hop and Sacramento room and board’s crapola…
Sure dude
Being mixed-caste, mixed-race, or from a foreign background is a burden on any child. This is why I avoid Negro, Hispanic, Italian, and Asian hotties.
A wise man once said like ten minutes ago: “Metal is dead, an endless stream of imitations of high quality and low content.” Metal is now mixed-race, half-rock/pop/blues/jazz and half music.
That’s all true. But as long there is the odd and spirited and fucked-up-enough (tastefully executed!!) final-reckoning nihilistic SLAYER-ESQUE RIFF that explains the world and puts things right, these progressive modernists shall be forgiven right?! (Take Orgone’s Pleroma). Yeah, entropie seems our destiny …but it’s worth trying to engage with it in non-boring open-minded ways
Excuse my bottom bitch, everyone. He gets mouthy after I permit him to leave his kiddie pool for those two hours a day when he’s not enduring his sexual slavery and loving golden showers.
Sad dude..
Harhar. down-tuned grammar, orthography, assumed low-life persona, and dodgy family-planning oversharing – that’s almost like (c)rap itself
Slayer’s dead after the 80’s, who cares after that…
In all honesty I think the existence of Seasons and World Painted Blood is justified.
Look at us fucking dorks, still foaming over decades dead has-beens. I seriously think we need to get a life.
What do you mean by “still”?
The music is older than I am, and I enjoy it.
Stop being cringe
Why is it that Angelcorpse ( yawnfest ) is featured on the DLA, and ARCHGOAT is not. They ‘re totally derivative, but they are damnedly excellent..
Archgoat are slowly becoming an interesting band, it’s taken them a long time but with more recent releases like ‘The Luciferian Crown’ they have managed to incorporate variation and atmosphere into their compositions in a way that is missed upon the earlier releases.
Who doesn’t like Finnish men in praise of penis power? Inquisition – Crush the Jewish Prophet live 2006, Austin, Texas https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZiqKy0WJfGM I have been expecting Archgoat to be more of this and excelling, so maybe it’s time for a revisit.

This site is certified “100% Gay” by official fact-checkers.
Ape Do Not Discriminate!
We have detected occasional pro-heterosexuality propaganda on this site but it is guaranteed to be 100% gay. We are not sure it is fake, but it is certainly retarded. It is also obviously not funded by Russia since they banned it, but has anyone looked for funding from China or Belgium?
You say they are homosexuals, of course, but how do you know? You must be schwul to know schwul. And that mein freunds is the question.
Schwul, schwuler, am schwulsten. PC-modern German noun: “Schwulende”
When everyone is schwul, no one will be schwul, and then we can move forward untroubled by the past.
Schwulitäten-speculations aside:
… so which, let’s say three of Slayer’s riffs are the most definingly draconian, unsentimental and punishing Slayeresque?
Ironically, Priest’s Dissident Aggressor cover will be one of them, right?
Trey Azagtoth or Bob Vigna? Explain why
I think Trey had more flashes of brilliance, but Bob maintained a high level of quality for a bit longer.
Unfortunately both of their bands kind of fell apart toward the end of the 90’s, with Immolation suffering from an identity crisis (potential mainstream fame vs. underground integrity) and Morbid Angel losing creative direction and purpose in general.
I don’t think the best of Immolation ever surpassed the best of Morbid Angel, and Trey also has the distinction of contributing more foundational and enduring elements to the genre than Bob. So I suppose I’ll go with him. I’m sure Trey would give me a thumbs up upon hearing about this glowing endorsement, but odds are that he’s in a straight jacket at this point and can’t.
Trey. Morbid Angel’s 1985-1993 run is the greatest from any band ever, and Trey is the mastermind of it.
Bob Vigna is a great guitarist; Trey is a visionary. Clapton is ahead of both.
If we’re just talking greatest lead guitarist, Satriani on the first two albums is in a completely different universe to anyone else ever. However, neither him nor Clapton were able to conceive of or compose anything like Abominations of Desolation, the 1987 Thy Kingdom Come demo, or Blessed Are the Sick.
I think people overstate what it is to be a virtuoso. It means able to play anything, and there are lots of those and always have been. Satriani had a good album in Surfing With the Alien, but after that fell apart. Clapton is a melodic guitarist and is closest to Azagthoth who like the Slayer guys works in a melody amid a lot of chromatic riffing. The rock, blues, and jazz guitarists are kind of overrated anyway; watching a good classical guitarist improvise reminds you that the favorites of the rockers would be mediocre in that realm.
Both incredible and knew how to do guitar leads the right way for death metal. Vigna’s were creepy as hell but Azagthoth on that 1986 recording is the most crazy mind-bending stuff out there.
Metal is about inverted degeneracy, Bratt should appreciate that it’s never been the greatest time till now. The worse the contrast, the better the end. Despite all these decades of whining about the leftists, you should thank them, because without them you’re nothing. It’s time to be converted, and embrace “everything wrong” like that scene from Exorcist 3.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY1OeGJuxRk
“Inverted degeneracy” is just Darwinism. Abrahamic morality is social, not real.
Humanity would have civilized Mars and set the framework for 10,000 year old civilizations without leftists by now.
