This is the greatest live performance of the greatest song by the greatest band ever. You may notice I've said that on every other live Slayer video, regardless of the song, but it's still true.
Seeing Slayer live they are the tightest band ever. There live show doesn't disappoint. Even recording a couple of songs on my phone the quality of their live performances are excellent ❤
Funny story: I work at REDRUM, both as an actor (LeatherFace in the Cinegore attraction) and on the construction team. I was doing repairs to the sound system and was only two room away from the Exorcist room and was blaring this song on my CD player. Keep in mind, I was positive I had disconnected the surround sound speakers in the Exorcist room (there was an animatronic girl that would spring up when you tripped the motion sensor and scream and shit and it was loud af) and all the rooms, for that matter, when I started hearing that whiny, high-pitched background voice in the song near the end. It truly fucked me up, and I'm a combat veteran working at a haunted house. So I stop my CD player and bolt the fuck out to get water (this was a few days ago, June 22nd, in gulf coast heat and humidity) to get a drink of water. I come back, turn the stereo back on and immediately the voice is back and I'm like, fuck me, I need a day off...
Well as much as I love many Death Metal bands, you can't really get this amount of evil in Death Metal. The speed and the brutality of Death Metal doesn't allow for that. Which is why I prefer Black Metal. It has a very evil feeling but even in Black Metal you don't get the same creepy feeling you get the first time you hear Dead Skin Mask
"Dead Skin Mask" [Hanneman/Araya] Graze the skin with my finger tips The brush of dead cold flesh pacifies the means Provocative images delicate features so smooth A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon [CHORUS] Dance with the dead in my dreams Listen to their hallowed screams The dead have taken my soul Temptation's lost all control Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes Lose all mind control rationale declines Empty eyes enslave the creations Of placid faces and lifeless pageants In the depths of a mind insane Fantasy and reality are the same Graze the skin with my finger tips The brush of dead warm flesh pacifies the means Incised members ornaments on my being Adulating the skin before me Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes Lose all mind control rationale declines Empty eyes enslave the creations Of placid faces and lifeless pageants [CHORUS]
Hello? Hello Mr. Gein? Mr. Gein? Let me outta here Mr. Gein Mr. Gein? I don't wanna play anymore Mr. Gein Mr. Gein this isn't fun anymore I don't wanna play anymore Mr. Gein Mr. Gein? I want out of here Mr. Gein! Let me out now!

Post-mortem to all those animals who had gone extinct and is about to there's only so much we can avoid before death catches up and graph says with his cold hands I shall let paya cetanu claim my soul Shall I ever breathe the kiss of midnight A animal's burden
John Burns you will never see one metal artist who's been playing a ton of songs in a row sing with a perfect voice. You can't always live up to album version expectations.
