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.

Cleanse The Soul Lyrics
Slayer
Body that rests before me
With every dying breath
Spellbound and gagged
I commence your flesh to dirt
Body that lay before me
In everlasting death
Emtombed in abcess
To rot and lie stinking in the earth
Empty altar awaits its victim
Stained glass windows black
Candles burn the midnight oil
Incense fills the night
Observing trance awaking state
Lying still unknowing
Reciting the passages of time
Prepare for the impaling
Deaths an art, flesh and earth never part
A power of the mind
Death shines on the air of silence
A ritual of endless time
Purged of your dead body
Sacrificed of your life
Unearthly ritual sealed in fire
Enter the kingdom of desire
