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.

Slayer
Oppression is the Holy Law
In God I Distrust
Metallic monuments will fall
Like ashes to dust
And so I've grieved the master plan
The Bible's where it all began
It's time again ourselves to spare
It's just the virus everywhere
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion's obscene
Religion's a whore
The desolace of Jesus Christ
There never was a sacrifice
To land him on the crucifix
He rode the cup of purity
Infectious in facility
I've made my choice
Six six six
[Solo - Hanneman]
Christ that breeds the pedophiles
Don't pray for the priest
Conviction finds a lonely child
And preys on the weak
You think your soul needs to be saved
I think you're fucking miles away
Scream out loud here's where you begin
Forgive me father, For I have sinned
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war

Religion is rape
Religion's obscene
Religion's a whore
The darkness of Jesus Christ
I would've loved to sacrifice
And nail him to the crucifix
He rode the cup of purity
Infectious in facility
I've made my choice
Six six six
Jesus is pain
Jesus is gore
Jesus is the blood that's spilled in war
He's everything
He's all things dead
He's pulling on the trigger
Pointed at your head
You fear you're sold into the front
Revelation
Revolution
I see through your cracked delusion
[Solo - King]
The war tear just drags along
But oh God it's growing strong
It's time again ourselves to spare
It's just the violence everywhere
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion's obscene
Religion's a whore
There is no fucking Jesus Christ
There never was a sacrifice
To land upon the crucifix
He rode the cup of purity
Infectious in facility
I've made my choice
Six six six
[Solo - Hanneman]
