Slayer - Eyes of the Insane

Be it the wretched headfuck of Cannibal Corpse or the death metal dirge of Deicide, my speakers have witnessed real horror in their time, and this hellish onslaught from Slayer nearly signalled their dying moments. Keeping it real, the innovative Kerry King lays down a furious solo which is more akin to that of a smokin' jazz virtuoso than a Bay Area thrasher, but this is nevertheless a hairy stomping juggernaut of ugly riffs and probably one of the feel bad hits of the winter. "Got to make it stop, can't take it anymore!" roars Tom Araya - it's like he knows. [Johnny Langlands]
