I'm a fan (and you should be too) because... Slayer have re-iterated the genre of Metal, in particularly Thrash Metal; proving that speed isn't always key. Albums such as Seasons In the Abyss are a perfect example of this. Slayer remain Brutal yet Beautiful, lyrically and musically speaking; which is seen in the stylistic arrangement of lyrics and the composition of the music.
Bottom Line.... Slayer Reigns.
Re: Seasons in the Abyss
This album is an excellent piece of composition, has varied elements of previous albums; which weaves together very well. It is executed perfectly providing songs such as War Ensemble, Seasons In the Abyss, Skeletons of Society which are pinnacles of Slayer's work. One of my favourite albums, and I think one of Slayer's best albums.
