SLAYER - Reign in Blood (1986)


MMMMM

This album has been talked about so much over the years, but the sad fact is that someone coming to it today cannot comprehend the jaw-droppingness of this in 1986. Who would have dared imagine that Slayer could step up so far from such an awesome album as Hell Awaits in the space of a single year? Of course the production was the real killer, where Hell Awaits was dingy and dank, Reign in Blood set new standards for Thrash recording and partly because of that, this is still the only album that has ever literally made my jaw drop. A masterpiece which has weighed heavily on the bands shoulders ever since, truth be told.
