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.

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.

Dead Skin Mask Lyrics
Slayer
[(spoken:)
How Ive waited for you to come
Ive been here all alone
Now that youve arrived
Please stay a while
And I promise I wont keep you long
Ill keep you forever]
Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead cold flesh pacifies [sings appease] the means
Provoking images delicate features so smooth
A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon
Dance with the dead in my dreams
Listen to their hallowed screams
The dead have taken my soul
Temptations lost all control
Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants
In the depths of a mind insane
Fantasy and reality are the same
Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead warm flesh pacifies the means
Incised members ornaments on my being
Adulating the skin before me
Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants
Dance with the dead in my dreams [hello? hello mr gein? ]
Listen to their hollowed screams [mr gein? ]
The dead have taken my soul [lemme out of here mr gein]
Temptations lost all control [mr gein? I dont wanna play anymore
Mr gein]
[dance with the dead in my dreams [mr gein, its not any fun anymore,]
Listen to their hollowed screams [i dont want to play anymore mr gein]
The dead have taken my soul [mr gein? lemme out of here mr gein]
Temptations lost all control] [lemme out, lemmmmeee oouuuuuuttt!!]
