Slayer's pentultimate 1986 masterpiece.
Produced by Rick Rubin and released on Def Jam
The first satanic thrash metal album ever released on a major label.
One of the most controversial albums of all time.
One of the fastest albums of all time: clocking in at just under 30 minutes.
Song list:
1) Angel of Death (90% of the controversy) 10/10
2) Piece by Piece 9/10
3) Necrophobic 9/10
4) Altar of Sacrifice 10/10
5) Jesus Saves (the other ten percent of the controversy) 10/10
6) Criminally Insane 10/10
7) Reborn 9/10
8) Epidemic 9/10
9) Postmortem 10/10
10) Raining Blood 10/10
Reign in Blood's release was delayed because of concerns regarding its lyrical subject matter and graphic artwork: several Catholic Popes drowning in a river of blood in Hell; Satan on his throne; etc.
The opening track, "Angel of Death", references Josef Mengele and details acts committed at the Auschwitz concentration camp, which provoked allegations of Nazism. Slayer takes no pro or con position on the matter in the song.
The album was Slayer's first to enter the Billboard 200; the release peaked at number 94, and in 1992 was awarded a gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Kerrang! magazine described it as the "heaviest album of all time" while Metal Hammer magazine named it "the best metal album of the last 20 years".
Inexplicably the ultra-mainstream Spin Magazine ranked the album number 67 on their list of the "100 Greatest Albums, 1985-2005."

Slayer's "Reign In Blood" was directly responsible for the rise of death metal and cannot be bested. Bow down.
Reign in Blood is by far the best metal album of the 1980s bar none.

Get the Reign in Blood mug.One of the coolest and least-often used words.
Reign:
v - to rule or govern; to have authority over.
n - the period of time during which one person or
body rules.
In the off chance that you happen to bear the name Reign, you are win. You are magnanimous and humble; subtle and striking; personable and passionate. You have all the charm and chivalry needed to woo and seduce others, but your strong morality keeps you above the smut and douche-baggery of day-to-day life. Others look up to you without knowing why - you have an air of mystery about you, even though you are incredibly open and sincere. You, sir or madam, possess a richness of spirit which others can only begin to grasp, yet you keep a level head. You are the essence of win.

The kings reign, though short, proved to be prosperous for both the people and the governance.
The queen had reigned for many years now, and those who had questioned her potency as a leader now found themselves proven wrong.

Get the Chawklit Reign mug.The Reign Man is Seattle SuperSonics great Shawn Kemp. Wreaking havoc in the Western Conference in the 90's and denied a title only by the even greater #23, Jordan. Anyone else using the name Reign Man needs to change the spelling to Rain Man and start flying Quantas, only Quantas.
Forget that clown who won a battle rap on MTV. The real Reign Man is the dominator Shawn Kemp, #40 for the Supes, sucka.

Get the Reign Man mug.Much loved English thrash metal band from the late 80's. Known for their sense of fun, crazy live shows, heads down speed metal and a thrashed up version of Blondie’s "Hangin On The Telephone" that they released as a Christmas single in 1989.
Albums included Moshkinstein, The Fear & Obnoxious.
They split in 1992 and have refused to reform despite many requests and facebook campaigns.

Man I wish Acid Reign would get back together just for one show, I'd get crazy drunk and jump off the PA stack just like the old days.

Get the Acid Reign mug.Reigne is a smart and caring girl. She usually roams around the internet when bored, if not, she plays moba games on her phone. Reigne is a unique name only a few denominations have, thus, finding a Reigne would be difficult. Reignes are usually short, funny, and athletic. At least the Reigne I know is. Reignes also put their trust in people very quickly (which I don't like about her.) Reigne is a smol cute child, don't soil her with unpurities.
Guy: Dang, I played with this chick in a moba game and she played a tank very well, dude!
Friend: Dude, that's Reigne!!
Friend: Dude, that's Reigne!!
