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.

Catatonic Lyrics
Slayer
(King)
Fear is just interpretation
Feeds my motivation
Our time together is
A bloodbath of serenity
Plead no more
There's no confusing the finale
Excitation
My rancid passion is electrified
Accept this
My religion of torture
I can't see any purity
Just imperfection and obscenity
My blood soaked hands devise
Your slow methodic demise
Asphxiate the world
It's blind without me
Catatonic
Catatonic
I'm numb in priceless solitude
Exhilarating keeping pieces of you near
[Lead - King]
Visions of decapitation
My mental masturbation
I try to resurrect
Your consciousness your intellect
Once so pure
Your pain excites and it tests me
Excitation
The empty state emitting from your eyes
Embrace it
My religion of tortue
All I see are the impurities
The imperfections and obscenities
[Lead - King, Hanneman]
Accept it
The religion of torture
Excitation
The rancid passion coming from your eyes
My blood soaked hands devise
Your slow methodic demise
Asphyxiate the world
It's blind without me
Catatonic
Catatonic
I'm numb in priceless solitude
Exterminating all the voiceless multitudes
I can't stop because it's so hypnotic
Catatonic
