The darkest, heaviest, most brutal fucking thrash band to have ever struck the face of God's green earth with pure bruality. Capable of pounding out the most coolest, creepiest and most Satanic lyrics that don't actually oversaturate their image to a point of being laughable (see Deicide). Founded by Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman back in the early 80s, their influence upon the thrash movement is undisputed, with albums like "Reign in Blood" and "Seasons in the Abyss" ranking as the most influential and famous thrash albums in record history.
As far as this author's concerned, Metallica don't fucking deserve to be considered the backbone of thrash. Metallica sold out and changed, but Slayer never did. They didn't compromise their sound for fucking anybody, and to this date, they've remained sheer volume and pumelling riffs that totally kick the shit out of all but the heaviest of Death metal.
To date, their most recent album is "Christ Illusion"; another brutal masterpiece that illustrates how well they've stuck to their roots. "Catatonia" has a guitar solo that's to die for. Quite literally if you're ears are too weak to handle the overpowering bad-ass-itude of Slayer's music (and no, that wasn't a real word, so don't bother looking it up on UD).

Metalhead #1: "I went to a Slayer concert the other week."
Metalhead #2: "Shit man, you survive?"
Metalhead #1: "I lost three fingers in a mosh pit, sustained cranial brain damage from being kicked against the floor... loved every fucking minute of it."
Metalhead #2: "Hell yeah. You catch a guitar pick?"
Metalhead #1: "Yep, I'll strum with it after I get feeling back in my fingers."

How does one describe Slayer? There is no definition for Slayer. Probably because Slayer doesn't belong in something as politically correct as a dictionary.

originated from danish metalheads- used as an indirect way to show dissapproval of either a show(concert) or just music being played. if the music is horrible or the concert is- you yell out "SPIL NOGET MED SLAYER"(play/put on some slayer

An exclamation made by visitors of a rock or metal concert. Originally, this was to ask the band (usually a cover band) to play a song by the band "Slayer" (a trash metal band, and one of the most brutal bands in the history of Metal music that gained world fame). However, the use of this exclamation has now broadened; it can also be used to ask the band on stage to play something louder or harder than what they're currently playing.
The exclamation can also be used in a bar, adressing the DJ if he plays crap music.
