Reign in Blood is the third studio album by Slayer, released on October 7, 1986. The album began the band's long-term relationship with Rick Rubin (who would produce every Slayer album until the band signed to Nuclear Blast in 2014 and released Repentless the next year) and was their first on a major label — Rubin's Def Jam Recordings, which before was largely restricted to Hip-Hop. It was a Breakthrough Hit for the band, marking Slayer's debut on the Billboard 200 album charts and later their first of four gold sellers.This album remains Slayer's most successful and (in)famous record, not only due to highly controversial lyrics and cover art but also because it was highly influential music in the metal community. This album combined Slayer's dark thrash sound from their first two albums with the tempos and song lengths of Hardcore Punk to create an extremely high tempo album filled with gruesome thematics and chaotic performances. It quickly became a huge hit in the extreme metal community and inspired bands across all genres, perhaps most significantly on Death Metal. Even today, Reign in Blood is widely considered a thrash classic and one of the best albums ever produced in heavy metal.The album contains the band's two signature songs, "Raining Blood" and "Angel of Death", the former later being notorious for being one of the hardest things to ever set foot in Guitar Hero. Other popular songs include "Postmortem", "Jesus Saves", and "Altar of Sacrifice". The band has been performed the album in its entirety on more than one occasion, including a DVD of the album Still Reigning. | |

| Reign in Blood (Music) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Reign in Blood is notable for being the first hint of mainstream success for the darker, more sonically violent brand of thrash more popular in Germany and Brazil than the United States received, a sound that made it clear they were a completely different beast compared to bands like Metallica and Megadeth. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Reign in Blood (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Slayer was always a Thrash Metal band, but their first two albums have a bit of Early-Installment Weirdness to them (Show No Mercy was heavily New Wave of British Heavy Metal influenced and Hell Awaits had long songs with a heavier emphasis on darkness than straight-up brutality). Reign in Blood saw Slayer pumping their music's Hardcore Punk influence way up, paving the way for some of the heaviest, fastest, shortest and morbid thrash ever, setting the scene for many other "brutal" thrash acts and much of the early death metal movement. The album is also different lyrically, focusing less on the satanic themes of the first two (religious songs now generally lean towards Religion Rant Song than about Satan or Hell) for more "street level" but still very dark topics. | |

Miniscule Rocking | |
| Reign in Blood (Music) / int_2e70a1db | comment |
Miniscule Rocking: The main album is just under twenty-nine minutes long, with only three songs longer than three minutes and one song ("Necrophobic") under two. The album sticks out for this as the 37-minute-long Hell Awaits had seven songs leaning towards the opposite direction. | |

Death Metal | |
| Reign in Blood (Music) / int_62c40898 | comment |
Death Metal: Reign in Blood itself is not a death metal album, but its blistering speeds, atypical playing techniques, and morbid lyrical themes were all-important in laying down the blueprints for the genre and in some cases ended up getting this label strapped onto Slayer anyway. (Infamously, South Park was guilty of making this mistake, though it's likely this might have been part of the joke). | |

Loudness War: Given Rick Rubin's infamous penchant for this, it may be slightly surprising to modern listeners that original issues of the album were not affected by this trope at all. However, modern remasters more than make up for it, to the extent that it could be considered a prime example of Keep Circulating the Tapes. | |
