Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss | REACTION 

Dave Lombardo's drumming on this song is incredible.

One of the best drummer in thrash metal to me one of the best thrash metal songs of all time

Hanneman's finest hour, in my opinion.

Dave Lombardo never stops having energy. The perfect thrash/death metal drummer.

Best album and song by Slayer imo. Starts slow, goes mid tempo to fast, killer solos, excellent drums- a perfect metal masterpiece. Check it live particular with the original line up.

If you actually want to hear Dave Lombardo's best work listen to the album South of heaven. Almost any song on there is phenomenal as far as his skill set.

Dave Lombardo, his time in Slayer was the salt in their music, they can hire a drummer to replace him but his genius prevailes on his signature drumming. To me the best thrash metal drummer!

I remember flying to Germany for my brother's wedding in 2010, we met him at the airport and whilst waiting for the luggage to come through I went for a bit of a wander around.... as I rounded one corner I started laughing to myself thinking look at that complete poser who thinks he's Kerry King.... I walk back to tell my brother who started laughing and agreed to come with me to take the piss out of the guy.... we rounded the corner together and looked stunned as the rest of Slayer were stood there as well 😳 They were an awesome bunch of guys even down to my brother begging them to play at his wedding...Kerry was well up for doing so but Tom had to remind him that they were playing at Wacken the same day 🤘🏻🤘🏻 They spent a good half hour chatting with us and having photos... Perfect start to a great wedding weekend 🖤🖤

One of the best songs of all time...from any band ant genre

This is one of those songs I'd listen to in the car and after it was over I would realize I was driving about double the speed limit

The whole album is exceptional 👌. Hanneman and King

Picture it: Ontario, Canada, early 90s. I'm in high school, and they hold a pep rally. Now, pep rallies at my school were a bit of a shitshow, school spirit was fairly non-existent, it was a school full of metalheads, they had to station a teacher at every exit to stop students from just bailing. So they pack us all in the gym, scraggly cheerleaders bop around a bit, there's a few announcements and stuff, then the very unpopular principal gets up to speak. Slowly it starts, a few kids in the middle... "Auschwitz, the meaning of pain, the way that I want you to die"... and it builds a few more kids, "Slow death, immense decay, showers that cleanse you of your life"... By the end of the first chorus, the entire school was singing Angel of Death, and we didn't stop until we had sung the whole song. It was the most united the student body had EVER been. All to piss off the principal. Hahaha!

To me one of my favs metal songs of all time, baddas riff and vocals, so underrrrated, Mtr Dave Lambardo on the drums!

simply an amazing drummer

Best slayer song Imo, Awesome drum work in the song too. Never been a huge slayer fan but this song is amazing

I never was big into metal but man, what a fantastic drummer! Also, there for a short while, in one sequence, I was reminded of a Hawkwind song.

I first heard this song some 25 years ago, to this day I have no doubts who is the best drummer in the world. He also made me want to play drums from that moment on. I started playing drums only a few years ago, which I consider to be the biggest and maybe the only unforgivable mistake in my life. Long live Master Lombardo.

this video is the reason we KNOW what the inside of the Great Pyramid of Giza looks like.

I distinctively remember Slayer taking shit for this album because the talk at the time was that they had changed their sound, started making videos, etc. Thirty years removed...those people were out of their fucking minds!

One of their best songs in my opinion

I remember the night this video premiered on MTV. The fact that they were playing in front of the Pyramids was mind blowing.

One of the only Thrash metal bands to play in Egypt.

Having met Dave many times, he is truly one of the nicest dudes ever! Btw check out a killer movie called Murder in the Front Row, lots of very early Slayer and Bay Area thrash

This is actually my favorite Slayer song. I love most of their stuff, but this was the pinnacle, I think.

I think a great Slayer song for Halloween would be "Evil has no Boundaries" from Show No Mercy. Very raw, early Slayer.

This WAS a bucket list band for me. My kids got me tickets to see them in Orlando at the beginning of there final tour. They were every bit of what I hoped they would be. And more. The awesome part was they had 2 more of the bands that were on my bucket list with them. Testament was the opener. Followed by Behemoth, Lamb of God and Anthrax. Testament and Anthrax we're the other 2 on my bucket list. It was the 2nd greatest day of my life. The live stuff totally blows the studio released stuff away.

It’s Slayer it will always be the best thing you ever heard

Song- Dead Skin Mask. Look up the meaning

RIP Jeff

Rosemary’s Baby is my favorite horror movie of all time, and just one of the best movies ever made in general (this coming from an expert horror movie fan/collector. The best part of Rosemary’s Baby is the absence of cheap jump scares: when it GETS scary, it just creeps up in you and you’ll never forget it. It’s one of those movies that you can just rewatch every other year. Also, Slayer is awesomeness! Please react to “Blood Red” from the ‘Seasons In The Abyss’. My favorite thrash metal track.

Dave Lombardo is a god!

The middle guy reminds my of a young Santa

This album is absolutely beautiful bash to the face and still got a lot of shit by Slayer fans which really pissed me off, but that being said, I could care less! This album and song is great and it needs to be propped up higher than people keep trying to shove it down. Just because they aren’t thrashing a thousand miles an hour doesn’t mean they aren’t killing it!!! IT’s phenomenal and people can spout out whatever, but this is a visually beautiful video as well. Perfect!!

My first slayer albums and my favorite!!

Lombardo the king of extreme metal and other...

Chemical Warfare lp Haunting the Chapel played really F#$&ing fast

Ty..."It ends in the abyss!" 😆 You three are so captivating & fun to watch regardless of the song topic. It's difficult to believe that Nick is not married, & without kids; you have that "dad" quality going & vibe! Of course I never would have guessed that Ty & Nick are related. One of you is slightly more eye-candy-ish at first glance.😋Ryan, well... there's not enough space to word it all! 😉 He's a shy hunk of a specimen, it seems... unless it's an act... hmmmm! 😒 The shy part, not the hunk! 👍 Great viewing you guys again! ❤ Take good care, be safe & stay healthy in the 502 zone!

interesting that you guys discuss the body mechanics of how SLAYER makes you move.... I think I have found a 1st.

seen the South of Heaven tour in Salem Oregon back in the day... Simply Amazing!!!👊🤘

Epic reaction! This got lots of play in the ride back when it came out.

Hey guys! For your next Slayer reaction: "War ensemble" ! Please. Thank you, greetings from Colombia.

This song is actually about a sacrificial rite from the perspective of the victim, who is being flayed alive. Seasons in the abyss represents the victims vanishing consciousness and sanity.

The gong is strong🤘🏼

Anything Slayer gets hits. Slayer eternal

Great reaction as always. I love that you've done your research. It is indeed pronounced "Crow"-"Lee", like you said. The Abyss is the place between the realm of corporeal time/space being, and non-duality, and in the practice of Magick a place you have to go to "slay the ego" once and for all. Only then can you reach the undefiled Paradise of the Divine Realms. You have to leave the "you" behind, the duality, the idea of separation. In this same mode of thinking, the Ego is actually a reflection of the so called "Lord of This World" ie the Beast, and the Harlot upon which He rides (again dualistic concepts), and it needs to be slayed or conquered by the Sword of Wisdom and Love in the Abyss in order to reach those loftier Divine planes above. These are not really Aleister Crowley's concepts, as taught by his "religion" Thelema, but Gnostic and Kabbalistic ones, of which Crowley was an Adept. Older than time, imagine the Egg in the Womb, or the Ourobos serpent eating it's own tail. Impossible to put into words, since as soon as you "think" you are back below the Abyss again, struggling with dualistic and thus illusive concepts that are temporal, temporary, and finite.

TESTAMENT... ELECTRIC CROWN (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO).

Accept from Europa↕

The chorus for this song is perfect. It needs to be slower and brooding for the mood of the song, but also creates space for the faster verses and other transitions to work.

Wasn't sure if i would like it. I knew it was building. But i think i like the faster part better... Well it makes the video more poignant - knowing they shot this during an unknown time and place, Especially back then. We did not know how Desert Storm would turn out. The guitars and drums are always 🔥! A group of us went to Twilight Jazz by the Lake tonight. So transitioning genres... But i am always open minded.

King did not consider Hanneman his friend. Among the best duets along Morton and Adler, Lamb of God... Hatfield and Hamett

For a different side of Slayer, react to Crionics next. It shows their Iron Maiden and Judas Priest influences, and it's a great song, especially the last half. Studio, not live (latter is poor quality). Thanks, love your reacts & channel!

TESTAMENT..THE NEW ORDER.( LIVE IN LONDON (OFFICIAL LIVE)🤘

Back when Kerry had hair.

I agree, I think some of Slayer's solos come off just dissonant for the sake of it.... BUT! You know it is intentional! Perfection is imperfection. Here, Kerry King plays the Beast being all out insane and vicious, and then Jeff Hanneman is the Beauty taking over with the more harmonic scales then of course ending it off in insanity as well! Also the filmography of this entire performance right there next to the pyramids - with the angles and shots - is near perfection, and gives you chills! Makes you want to pick up a guitar and play, doesn't it?!

South of heaven next by them? 😁

Hard to believe Tom araya is a Catholic the singer bass player

Listen to Canatonic and cast down

Check out Skeletons of society

You Three Are Sad! Straight Up!!!

Who said that thrash is not music...........

Look at you more like it

the name opf this is = band kkkkkkk

Please react to: Nemophila - 'Adabana'🤘

I would consider this the least Slayerish of Slayer songs.

do some anthrax exodus testament

finally some death metal

Hey, Could you plz react to Mornin’, The Theme from Moonlighting and Just to be Loved by Al Jarreau? This guy is AMAZING

Stoned brothers

most of the rehashed heavy metal drum riffs were first played by Lombardo, he is not the re-hasher....just sayin..... SLAYER !!!!

Stop talking so much ! You'll get more viewers.
