"What is Slayer?"

Good Question: Slayer is an American Thrash metal band, founded in Huntington Park, California (not Huntington Beach as has often been reported) in 1981 by Tom Araya (bass guitar, vocals), Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman (guitars) and Dave Lombardo (drums). Lombardo has been in and out of the group several times, but the others have remained constant. Hanneman and King are the group's main songwriters.

Slayer (along with Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth and others) is often credited with creating American thrash metal by speeding up the sound of New Wave British Metal bands like Iron Maiden. Slayer also drew from hardcore punk, influences like of Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys and The Misfits; borrowing some of that music's emphasis on extremely quick tempos in many of their songs. Some of Slayer's music can be compared to progressive as they often change tempos and arrangements multiple times through the course of a single track.

This group is dedicated to fans of Slayer's Music and artists who do Slayer related works.
