Album Review
When it comes to death metal, no band is more convincing than Slayer. For other bands, focusing on death, Satanism, the supernatural, and the occult became a cliché; but Slayer's controversial reflections on evil always came across as honest and heartfelt. The group's sincerity is the thing that makes South of Heaven so disturbing and powerful — when the influential thrashers rip into such morbid fare as "Spill the Blood," "Mandatory Suicide," and "Ghosts of War," they are frighteningly convincing. With their fourth album, Slayer began to slow their tempos without sacrificing an iota of heaviness or incorporating any pop elements. South of Heaven would be Slayer's last album for Def Jam. When Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons (brother of Joseph "Run" Simmons of Run-D.M.C.) parted company, Slayer went to Rubin's new company Def American, while LL Cool J, Slick Rick, and other rappers recorded for Simmons at Def Jam.
Customer Reviews
Dave Lombardo reigns
While Slayer may have perfected their sound (and maybe metal altogether) with the epic Reign in Blood I think perhapse South of Heaven is the height of their creativity. It definately was Lombardos moment to shine. Not until Death's Individual Thought Patterns came out several years later that I thought Dave may have some competition. Remember this is all REAL drumming - no triggers or digital hanky panky. The fact that they could bring it down a notch and still devestate like on Reign is so impressive. When I saw them on the Clash of the Titans tour when they played Madatory Suicide the only thing they could follow it up with was Angel of Death.
good album
This album is a lot slower than your usual slayer album but its got much more melody and tom arayas voice sounds a lot better. third best slayer album behind reign in blood and seasons in the abyss
