A lot of bands try to imitate and fail, these dudes actually did ir right lol

 

[Black Wizard]

I liked When the Stillness Comes, because I like all of the Slayer songs with those clean, ominous intros. And Piano Wire was a good song, it was written by Hanneman

 

[Black Wizard]

Yup, that's straight up early Slayer lol.

 

[Swift]

I liked Christ Illusion, it sounded the most like their old stuff

 

[Swift]

And they all took part in it, which means Lombardo and Hanneman had some say

 

[Black Wizard]

I remember the first song I heard from that album was Jihad, really felt like they were back. Pretty sure Hanneman wrote that one

 

[Swift]

But I kind of stick to Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits, Reign in Blood, South of Heaven and Seasons.

 

[Swift]

Yeah, a lot of those riffs had to be his.

 

[Swift]

Fuck dude, I wish I got to see THIS Slayer -

 

[Black Wizard]

Pretty much the same. I like quite a few songs off of Divine Intervention though

 

[Swift]

yeah Divine is good too. I even like some from Diabolus too.

 

[Black Wizard]

For real, you always hear about how crazy those early shows were

 

[Swift]

Slayer took Mercyful Fate and Judas Priest's influences and took it to another level. I love it.

 

[Swift]

Those three are like my fave bands lol.

 

[Swift]

People forget how different they were back then
