Slayer - South of Heaven: Underrated Album Review

Welcome to “Underrated Album Reviews” were we switch it up a bit by talking positively about an album that doesn’t deserve the hate it gets.

In the metal community, Slayer is just one of those bands were everyone just agrees that they’re good. Slayer being good is in the public conscious like Star Wars is a good movie, no matter how you may end up feeling about it personally. But at their core, I’ve never gotten the excitement about Slayer. Sure, back in high school, when I first discovered Slayer, I thought nothing could be better. Reign In Blood’s energy and speed blew me away upon first listen (even if it doesn’t really hold up today), the speed and technical power of War Ensamble was one of the reasons I picked up a guitar, and South of Heaven is the reason why Slayer still makes sense to me today.
