Slayer guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman formed the original searing 6-string front line of the most brutal band in the land. Together, they created an aggressive mood of malcontent with high-velocity thrash riffs and screeching solos that'll slice your speaker cones. The only way to create a band more brutal than Slayer would be to animate them, and that's exactly what Metalocalypse (and Home Movies) creator Brendon Small did.From his first listen, Small has been a lifetime devotee and thrash-metal expert, so we invited him to help us break down what makes Slayer so great. Together, we dissect King and Hanneman's guitar styles and list their angriest, most brutal songs, as well as those that create a mood of general horribleness.Use code EMG100 for 15% off at checkout at emgpickups.comFollow Nick: https://www.instagram.com/nickmillevoiFollow Jason: https://www.instagram.com/jasonshadrickGet at us: 100guitarists@premierguitar.comCall/Text: 319-423-9734Podcast powered by Sweetwater.
