A Tribute To Slayer |
||||||
| Compilation Album | ||||||
| Forever Reigning is a 2022 tribute album to Slayer. | ||||||
| 'A Tribute To Slayer' is the debut release from American entertainment media company Satyrn Studios, featuring twelve cover versions of classic Slayer songs, by an array of up and coming metal bands. | ||||||
| Slayer, formed in 1981, are recognised as one of heavy metals greatest ever bands, helping to found and shape the sound and direction of the thrash metal genre, with their 1986 album 'Reign In Blood' regarded as a pivotal release in the genres history. Quintessential listening for any metal fan, 'Reign In Blood' is the gold standard of thrash, with many bands citing the album as a number one influence to become musicians. | ||||||
| Throughout a thirty six year recording career, Slayer have released twelve albums, numerous singles and music videos, appeared on a high number of movie soundtracks - including Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990), Bride Of Chucky (1998), and Saw III (2006) - and have had songs appear on the music video games Guitar Hero, Rocksmith, and Rock Band. | ||||||
| The majority of songs featured on this compilation are taken from the earlier part of Slayer's career, namely the bands first five albums - 'Show No Mercy' (1983), 'Hell Awaits' (1985), 'Reign In Blood' (1986), 'South Of Heaven' (1988), and 'Seasons In The Abyss' (1990). | ||||||
| From the iconic dark, haunting mood of 'South Of Heaven' from Skrog, to Eulogy In Blood's re-imagining of 'Bloodline' to Skull Fuckers Incorporated rendition of 'Raining Blood', each cover packs a hefty punch - see below for a full tracklist. | ||||||
| Forever Reigning 'A Tribute To Slayer' is a dynamic collaboration drawing artists together through their adoration of Slayer's work. Comments Jay Reiter, executive producer of Satyrn Studios "it's been fun and challenging to both learn the songs I did, but also put my own twist onto the songs (while) keeping it true to the originals". | ||||||
| Overall, a weighty tribute album celebrating one of metals pioneering thrash metal bands - Slayer. | ||||||
