All gnarled riffage and bludgeoning percussion, it’s a strong instrumental in itself, but the true glee is seeing Kerry King’s hilariously blasphemous lyrics spat by professed Catholic Tom Arya: ‘Hate heals, you should try it sometime / Strive for peace with acts of war / The beauty of death we all adore / I have no faith distracting me / I know why your prayers will never be answered / God hates us all!’.

The first cut off Slayer’s debut LP proves that – right from the starting line – they weren’t fucking about.
