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.

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.

Their laughter peeling around the air traveling up to the man on the balcony, their beautiful laughter like a symphony of chimes in his ears. The daughter turns and looks up at the man, a miraculous smile on her face, "Hi Daddy!" she yells. The woman turns her head and sees the man on the balcony. She smiles up at him, a brilliant light in her eyes, "Hi Love!" she yells. He looks at her with all the love in the world, "Hi angel, hi Reaghan."

Get the Reaghan mug.Reinhardt is a Germanic name meaning strong, brave, or hardy counsel. Reinhardts are amazing, wonderful, sensitive men. Very handsome. A bit vein about their looks, but most are secretly insecure. They have gorgeous eyes and awesome music taste. They generally have great personalities but sadly tend to keep a lot of it hidden. Reinhardt is a hard name to spell. But it's German and sexy so it can be forgiven for being hard to spell. This name should never be shortened because it is an amazing name. If you catch a Reinhardt never let it go, if he is not perfectly awesome it is only because he is keeping so much of himself locked away. They can progress from shy men who hold themselves back and are ok in bed, to fucking animals that rock your fucking world. They can be really stupid sometimes, but all men can be. Pronounced "rind"+"heart" Reinhardt.
Lucky Girl: "Oh god, I got my world rocked so hard last night."
Lucky Girl's Friend: ''Lemme guess, Reinhardt?"
Random Person: "He's so sensitive, and he's just got so much personality. It's a shame that he hides it"
Other Random Person: "Must be a Reinhardt."
Exceptional Individual: "I feel like there's just so much more to him, he could be so great, but he doesn't let it out."
Stoner: "Dude, you totally just described a Reinhardt, dude."

Get the Reign in Blood mug.A split personality. Often comes out a night, and very rare occasions can be sighted near the pool or the beach. But often it is a nocturnal animal. It only feeds on one thing, beer, beer, and beer. It can be recognized from a distance from its stance, which is always at an awkard bendy angle. Raging Reichert can always be seen swaying its head, back and forth, almost like how a water buffalo swings its tail near a water hole.
