Slayeris an American thrash metalband, founded in Huntington Park, California in 1981 by Tom Araya(bass guitar, vocals), Kerry King(guitars), Jeff Hanneman(guitars) and Dave Lombardo(drums). Lombardo had left the band to explore varied drumming styles, notably his work in Mike Patton's Fantmas. He was replaced by Paul Bostaph, but has now returned to the drum stool. Hanneman and King are the group's main songwriters. Slayer (along with Metallica, Anthrax, Megadethand others) are often credited with creating American thrash metal by speeding up the sound of New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priestand Venom.

Catalyst Lyrics
Slayer
(King)
[All Leads - King]
Attitude is my addiction
I live life with no regret
Unlike you it's my conviction
That sets me apart from the rest
I live for competition
Your cynicism only makes me stronger
I am the culmination
Setting the standard that all will follow
I live it every day
Don't know another way
Within my eyes there's devastation and fury
You can't understand
In my fight
Win by attrition I bring it with all that I fucking am
You never dealt with such rejection
Licking your wounds that won't fucking heal
You've never seen so much aggression
I am the scream to your fucking silence
I live it every day
Don't know another way
Attitude is my addiction
I live life with no regret
Unlike you it's my affliction
That creates the template of all that I am
You know and I know
No matter what you say
You'll be beaten today
Like every other day
Something about you
Keeps you from letting go
Of lame obsessions
Built up inside you
Forget the guesswork
You're starting at the source
Gazing into my eyes
You'll see there's no remorse
'Cause this is my war
All day and every day
It's all about the conflict Yeah!
Bring on the competition
Your pessimism only makes me stronger
I am the culmination
The fucking standard that all will follow
I live it everyday
Don't know another way
