Christians React To Slayer - Cult!! 

There is enough music showing the pretty side of life,Slayer shows you the ugly truth.

There is never bad SLAYER, but SLAYER with Lombardo on drums is top shelf hot ass peak SLAYER.

Atleast they pick a version of this with Dave and Jeff! R.I.P Jeff Hanneman!

Slayer at their best, OG Slayer members, Lombardo V8, Tom still headbanging, Slayer doing their best to shock the hell out of society. More SLAYER!!!!!

South of Heaven, Skeletons of Society, Die by the Sword, Jesus Saves, and Bloodline.

I agree 100% with the lyrics. Can you imagine what this place would be like if we all agreed to choose logic over myth? It'll never happen of course and that's unfortunate. I'm grateful to bands like Slayer that astutely express the anger and disgust that too few on this planet feel. If everyone unequivocally shared faith, blood sacrifices and slavery, would still be go to resolutions in everyday life.

Vin has a lot more tolerance for religious criticisms than a lot of other religious people. Hats off to you, big homie.

The absolute, uncompromising rawness of this song is what makes it stand out.

And the funniest part is that Tom Araya, the vocalist is a catholic ;)

S E P U L T U R A -- D E S P E R A T E C R Y A real thrash metal MASTERPIECE!!!

Nice! Been a long time since you did Slayer. Dead Skin Mask or War Ensamble next please! And Helloween ☆ Keeper of the seven keys 🎃

I love listening to your balanced and well thought out analysis. As a Christian myself, Cult is one Slayer song that I do struggle to listen to (and I am a Slayer fan). Your commentary brings a little more perspective.

Black Flag: My War if you want Rollins

Slayer - World painted blood

Man you can hear the difference when they were all together . So tight . Lombardo just killed it . R.I.P A.O.D R.I.P FU&KING SLAYERRRR

R.I.P. Jeff Hanneman!

Power Trip - Divine Apprehension Power Trip - Hornet’s Nest Power Trip - Crucifixation

Christ illusion is one of their best album. I love Final Six

Everytime I hear "I'm Sori" I keep on thinking "Why are you apologizing?" I can't be the only one.

It's good to see Jeff. R.I.P

I love that you put so much thought into kerrys lyrics, haha.... kerry's writing is simple, "whats gunna piss the most people off" Eyes of the Insane is a more lyrically rich song from the same album

Black Sabbath - Into The Void

do Mandatory Suicide by Slayer!

I have asked for Henry Rollins... but with Black Flag! RISE ABOVE!!

Great reaction! Have to say I'm impressed how you, being devoted christians, can be so pragmatic. I am not sure that I could do that if I were that religious but it's really interesting to see how you are able to see things from all sides. If every religious person (including atheists and agnostics) were like this, the world would be a better place.

I'm on a Vin & Sori marathon today. I still love this channel....when I first discovered this channel back when u guys had 10, 000 subs and now 108!! Congrats guys!

Iron Maiden "Infinite Dreams" (studio version)

Whenever its anti-religious lyrics its usually Kerry King that wrote it because, well, hes kinda anti-religious. Whenever the lyrics are about war and murder och social issues its usually Tom that wrote it because he finds it interesting. And just like you said, Tom separates what his band does from his faith. Whenever he "blasphemes" by singing anti-religious lyrics he doesnt see it as blasphemy, its just him telling a story through music.

3:44 Best reaction EVER while listening to mah boys in SLAYER. (New sub, just for that reaction!)

Keep in mind, tom (singing) is a devout Catholic, don't take the lyrics as the views of the whole band. kerry is the anti theist in the band. Also they like to write songs that piss people off haha (ie disciple)

slayer- dead skin mask, skeletons of society and seasons in the abyss or pretty much anything of seasons. It has to be their best work!

one of my faves of theirs, i really liked christ illusion as an album.

"Do you really think that we will get along when we get rid of religion?" "yes cause that's one of many things we need to get rid of in order to get along eventually"

React to Repentless by Slayer, the music video. They play in the middle of a full prison riot!

Cool, it's awesome that you listen to this break it down and actually took the time to educate yourself on the members of the band. Well done..

when I listen to bands like this, I dont worry about the lyrics, I just love the noise, beat, guitar, drums, voice. Im a Christian to but I separate myself like you said. I have two death metal bands that I have myself. One of my bands is a Christian death metal band called "book of Enoch", the lyrics are more Cristian based. My band "Dark Famine", this is all death and destruction. None of my music has nothing to do with the devil or 666, or anything like that. I reject bands and lyrics like that.

stop giving kerry all the credit for solos, both him and jeff solo on most songs... RIP Jeff Hanneman

you gotta admit you were both grooving to this track , Love Slayer !!!

Around the 10:15 point you were talking about believing you should abstain from using lethal force, based upon your faith. To paraphrase Eowyn from The Two Towers,"....Those without swords can still die upon them."

I think Sori you will especially love this: It’s time you reviewed a second QUEENSRYCHE (another Seattle band) song. Vin loved ‘Eyes Of A Stranger’ last year. I recommend ‘Silent Lucidity’ their biggest hit. It went Top 10 in 91 and was nominated for Grammys and AMAs and nominated for 5 MTV Video awards, winning one, beating R.E.M.s Losing My Religion in the Viewers Choice category. It is a beautifully lush ballad with strings by Michael Kamen of Metallica fame as well as many film scores. The album Empire went triple platinum and is their biggest seller, even though ‘94’s Promised Land debuted at number 3 on Billboard. Queensryche is a band that deserves your attention. You will love it so much I think. Video is great too. Please use the studio version or official video version. No good quality live clips. Trust me. Sooo good.

Wait, did I hear Sori say the baby should be here any week now? Holy shit, time went by quicker than I thought. Also., Tom says they make music like this mainly to fuck with people.

You two are blessed to be asking such precise

30:05 Vin, you should find a recent live video of King's X...songs like Over My Head, Goldilox, We Were Born To Be Loved, etc. Singer/bassist DUg Pinnick is closing in on 69 this year, and still going strong :)

Tom Araya is a Catholic Christian. He’s said that when it comes to singing, he puts his belief aside, and sings the words that are just words. When it comes to anti religion and satanic lyrics, Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman wrote those songs

BLACK FLAG- MY WAR (classic ROLLINS)

Tom said in an old interview that he was raised Catholic and that is somehow translated into him being a religious person in the present. I think he's probably more indifferent to the god question.

Great reaction guys would love a reaction from you on sepultura refuse an resist an as always keep it real peace out 😁😁

The reason why people aren’t asking for Henry Rollins is because he usually to busy talking about himself already!!!! 😺😂

This was before 2010 Unfortunately in 2010 tom had back surgery recovered but couldn’t head bang like he did anymore to this day. This final tour ends later this year but u never know they might extend it🤞

He's not a Christian he grew up in a Catholic upbringing totally different he's not practicing religion.

This was the song that my descent into heavy metal. Just so much badassery in this performance with lombardo's drumming and hanneman's solo and Tom's beautiful headbanging.

All wars are not religious. Territory (and obviously power) is also a very big cause. The biggest difficulty I have in critiquing religious groups is understanding how people speak about theirs being the ‘truth’ when everyone can’t be correct.

Black Flag - Rise Above live

Y’all are a such a beautiful couple!!! God bless you both!! My girlfriend and I are both Christians but I’m the more metal one!😂😂😂😂

Slayer - Repentless (official video - many others have reacted to it without copyright issues) Slayer - Read Between the Lies, is a good tune for Slayers views on the whoring of religion. Slayer is still on their final tour...it is supposed to come to a conclusion in Los Angeles this December. As for religion...no doubt some powerful people use religion as a tool to accomplish ends. This probably puts a stain on religion for many.

Pantera - Primal Concrete Sledge live in Moscow Death - Without Judgment

Always a good day with a Slayer reaction. You guys gotta check out FIT FOR A KING - Shattered Glass or Tower Of Pain!!

Tune and so true

Iron Maiden-Phantom of the Opera (live at the Rainbow or live at Ullevi)

1st wave of Black Metal New Wave of Black Heavy Metal

maybe they'll see this and give it a shot at this random suggestion: Nevermore - Final Product or Nevermore - Enemies of Reality

Ray Harmony - "We Are" (feat. Serj Tankian, Ihsahn, Devin Townsend, Abbie Johnson) - Lyric Video. Aren't you intrigued???

Hallowed point needs to be done like yesterday

I'd love to see a reaction video on Slayers Circle Of Beliefs

At least there was some headbanging involved.

At last!😊 Thank you! I have another suggestion! A swedish black metal group! NAGLFAR - I AM VENGEANCE

You guys have to react to a song off Peripherys new album! I HIGHLY recommend either "It's Only Smiles" or "Satellites"!!!! PLEASE

Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss, South of Heaven, Dead Skin Mask, In the Name of GOD, Bitter Peace, Overt Enemy

Nice! Talking about Henrry Rollins, you should listen his song: Lier. Cheers!

Arch Enemy - We Will Rise + Fields of Desolation (LIVE Tyrants of the Rising Sun 2008

I love your videos guys keep doing slayer

Awesome tune from the "Christ Illusion" album.

Toms Catholic not Christian

For metal that critiques the 20th century, check out Hail of Bullets.

Ah Slayer, this guys are so awsome. Please react to "Dead Skin Mask", "Chemical Warfare" or "War Ensemble", all classics. By the way, Tom Araya is chilean and I love the fact the he's wearing a t-shirt that says "Hueón" (probably the best known chilean word, depending on the context means "dude" or "fucker") he had played many times wearing a Chilean National Soccer Team. He was declared "Illustrous Son" of Viña del Mar on June 2011, when he was about to become 50 years old.

Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance live US FESTIVAL 1983

I consider myself a Christian I like listening to Slayer to blow off some steam. It pumps me up. So many people use religion to justify their own carnal thinking.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a metal band that speaks out for christian beliefs more than Slayer. Understanding Evil or evil's perspective doesn't make you evil. Slayer's music is all about what's coming in the book of revelation. They are more anti abortion, anti war, anti all of it. Singing about it doesn't equate to siding with it. It slaps people that are asleep and allows them to see whats happening in the world around them. Understanding Evil doesn't make you evil. It does equip you to fight it much better.

tool - bottom (feat. henry rollins) there

Araya has said that God understands that this just sounds cool and He is forgiving. Their lyrics doesn't have nothing to do how he feels about God. And I respect that, God is how you want to believe in Him.

Saosin - They Perched On Their Stilts, Pointing And Daring Me To Break Custom

Hey Vin and Sori, could you react to "La Dispute - King Park" i feel like this song wouldnt get a chance otherwise.. it covers a lot of important topics. Its a mix between Hardcore and Spoken Word.

Want Rollins? Check out Liar by Rollins Band, or anything off the album Weight

I will make a request to review two bands you haven't done yet. First off is PRIMUS...maybe Wynona's Big Brown Beaver. The 2nd is Melechesh and I'd suggest "Tempest temper enlil enraged." They are a Assyrian and Aramaic black metal band. Please, thanks and keep up the good work!

Second chorus the original studio version says "the target is fucken Jesus Christ I would have led the sacrifice and nailed him to the crucifix"

Black Sabbath - Lonely is the Word

just a thought if god has divine plan then whats the use for praying?

Its probably tough to understand as devout christians how someone who is (say for example catholic) can perform a song like this. But since the beginning Slayer's modus operandi has been to shock and cause a visceral reaction to people who hear their music. Its pretty clean when you listen to a song like Dead Skin Mask that quite alot of this is for effect and show. But it doesn't mean there isn't some hard truths being spoken in this and in other songs. Its always sad to see riffmaster Jeff Hanneman, he is definitely missed. That said I don't think you guys have done any songs from slayer's best record yet, Seasons in the Abyss. War Ensemble, Seasons in the Abyss, and Dead Skin Mask are all legendary songs and among the best in Slayers entire catalogue. To answer your question Vin, I think if we got rid of the church then we would see alot less pain and suffering. Religion? No. Humanity needs something to believe in, even if that belief is not believing in something. And maybe thats my deistic bias, because I think if everyone basically formed their own religious ideals and weren't busy trying to force them on others, the world would be largely a better place. Which isn't to say it would end wars, or it would end suffering. It would do neither. Though it doesn't surprise me that you would think the world would be worse off without the church. I believe it would make the world a better place without it, but I also don't believe in original sin. I would guess that if you are a proponent of original sin, then you would think that the world couldn't possibly be a better place without organized religion. Also there is a big gap between "Carpenter named Jesus existed" and "Jesus as the christians know him to be, never existed" .

Henry Rollins would ask you to react to anything by Dax Riggs. In Henry we trust.

My favorite band.... Love this song... The last part of the chorus where it says I made my choice 666. They were going to use atheist but King said 666 fit better.

Henry Rollins most popular song might be Liar from his band Rollins Band. If you do react to it , do the video version. It is hilarious.

Still loving slayer music hiding behind you're Christian mask

Alter Bridge - Words Darker Than Their Wings Live, one of the best live performance you can have ever.

You guys should react to American Jesus by Bad Religion. It's essentially about the certain type of Jesus that people choose to see, as you spoke about

apparently there is no historical document that mentions Jesus other than the bible ...youd think for such a guy with crazy powers people would be writing all sorts about him.

and this video shows why I have a lot of respect for this channel even tho I just believe in myself

You guys could not find the one to save your lives 😂😂

Revocation - Blood Atonement Obscura - Septuagint Impure Wilhelmina - Murderers Peccatum - The Moribund People

“This is a new song”, mate Cult was released 13 years ago

Kickass song
