[Walk On Home]

Reign In Blood and Seasons In The Abyss are my favourite albums, they are a very definitive band for their genre.
I've got the Still Reigning DVD...Fucking intense.

 

[Ibrahim Al]

My favourite is South of Heaven.

For thrash metal they're not bad but I hate thrash metal. I wouldn't say they are one of the best metal bands.

[Ermky]

This is probably the only Metal band i like.

Songs like Raining Blood, I'm gonna be your god are brilliant songs!

 

[Govind]

Eh, I think my sis has Divine Intervention.

I suggest you listen to "Desciple".

Slayer is brutal shit, i enjoy it very much.

 

[Walk On Home]

Don't forget War Ensemble, Angel of Death, etc.

Please die. They are Death Metal from the 80s.

Wtf? They aren't even close to 80's death metal. Look at Possessed or Death. That's death metal, this is just some kind of thrash-hybrid. I don't really fancy Slayer much, i prefer Death Angel, Sepultura, Exodus, Whiplash, Sodom, Kreator, Sadus, Flotsam & Jetsam etc.

Death Metal my ass they are Thrash / Heavy metal.

Sepultura, Soulfly, Shadows Fall, Overkill and Exodus Rule

 

[Walk On Home]

Soulfly isn't thrash metal...Even the latest Sepultura can't even be labelled as thrash metal.

 

[speljohan]

Soulfly isn't thrash metal...Even the latest Sepultura can't even be labelled as thrash metal.

i was referring to the early Sepultura tracks.

 

[WinterDreamZ4]

Soulfly isn't thrash metal...Even the latest Sepultura can't even be labelled as thrash metal.

Soulfly made/makes Trash metal if you like it or not same as Sepultura.

I've always recognized them as death metal for some reason. Sorry for that rant (you do rant a lot, act on impulse, say things without being sure etc. when you need to catch up on ~30+ hours sleep from the summer break).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_metal - I see Slayer was considerably a prime influence in the genre though.

And now, for feeling like an idiot, I'm going to post something bashful of myself:
