34 years ago, on this day, thrash metal masters SLAYER released the album that changed it all, "Reign in Blood". Opening with the ultimate violent thrash metal masterpiece "Angel of Death", the album delivers almost 29 minutes of pure speed and aggression. With the line-up that consisted in Tom Araya on bass and vocals, Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman on guitars and Dave Lombardo on drums, the band shows a more polished yet more intense sound than in their previous "Hell Awaits". Tracks like "Necrophobic", "Postmortem" and "Reign in Blood" are total classics of the style and are a huge influence for many bands in the thrash /black or death metal realm. The album was released Def Jam Recordings, the label that released many of Slayer´s classic full lengths.
