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.

Crionics Lyrics
Slayer
(lyrics - hanneman, king; music - hanneman, king)
Eyes upon me
Watching me in my perpetual sleep
Dreams deceive me
My future depends on a mindless dream
Ive fallen from promises
Damned to take risks on my own
The masterful science that freezes your
Mind and your soul
The wretched dream is realized
The human race is to be crystallized
Thoughts of laughter
Filling the head of the master in charge.
Worlds of wonder
Is this a cure or a painless death
Ill fight and resist
Till they all see the end that is near
The doctors the lawers and g-men
Are living in fear
Living my life with one distant hope
A cure that will kill my invincible foe
