--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


No introduction necessary here, as most acknowledge Slayer as one of the premier thrash bands of all time, with Reign In Blood (arguably their best) being a thrash classic. Cut from the same cloth at Metallica (the two debut albums do have similarities), and probably just as influential as Metallica, though obviously the musical directions of the two bands grew apart. The band's style has largely remained unchanged over the years, almost to the point of stagnation (noticeable on the relatively bland Divine Intervention -- while not bad at all, a sense of been-there-done-that can be felt), though the two albums since then are a bit more contemporary, while still retaining that classic Slayer style.


12/29/01 : Drummer Paul Bostaph has left the band, due to an ongoing elbow injury which has hampered his playing. None other than original drummer Dave Lombardo has joined the band for touring, but it is stressed that this is a temporary gig for him, and the search for a new flll-time drummer is on.
