Overview: What Makes This Song Great

Slayer Raining Blood

Slayer Raining Blood

Thrash metal band, Slayer, formed in 1981 when Kerry King met Jeff Hanneman at a guitarist tryout for another band. King knew vocalist and bassist Tom Araya from a group the two had worked in called Quits, and asked him to join the guitarists. Drummer, Dave Lombardo, was working as a driver for a pizza business when he met King. The chance meeting would result in Lombardo joining King, Hanneman and Araya as the fourth member of Slayer.

Slayer steered toward a dark satanic persona on stage decked out in inverted crucifixes, make-up and pentagrams, and their scorched earth music drew inspiration from Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and other metal pioneers.

The group’s first two albums, Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits helped Slayer gather a solid fan base, but it was their third release of 1986, Reign In Blood, that brought the group the controversy that laid a blueprint for their success. The landmark metal album’s graphic cover and horrific themes led the album’s distributor, Colombia Records, to delay its release.

The track “Raining Blood” showed up on the album, then later was released in 1986 as a single. The song has become a “must play” staple at Slayer shows. Author of the book Reign in Blood, D.X. Ferris, noted the track “lunges to life with its core riff, the ten most recognizable notes in metal, a diminished scale run down the fretboard that’s the most badass guitar riff since Black Sabbath’s “Sweet Leaf.”
