Sound

Slayers sound on this album is brutal and chaotic, but in a melodic way. some awesome riffing and brutal rhythm from Hanneman and King, and the tremolo picking solos sound, at least to me, like the screams of the dying.

Guitars

Is this not the reason you listen to slayer? you know its going to be fast, melodic and gut wrenching, and it is. the opening to Raining blood is the most metal thing ive ever heard.

Drums

Dave Lombardo is known as the godfather of double bass for a reason. hes killer! the drums scorch and blast straight into your ears, and it resembles a musical assault. his drum style is near perfect, IMO.
