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.

Face The Slayer Lyrics
Slayer
(lyrics - king; music - hanneman, king)
A misty night, a perfect night
Beneath the cold of the frozen star
You feel the fright, you know Im near
You never should have come this far
I am alive, you cant kill me
I will survive eternity
Go through the fire walk past the dead
Lost in my eternal maze
Your heart pounds through the mist filled air
Your concentration breaks for me to strike
Youve cowered down, youve broken the chain
Now I can freeze your burning eyes
You see me lift the axe, [as] it plunges through your shield
You now begin to panic as you see your chances grow slim
Your running through the endless maze
[you] turn and Ill be there
A force too strong for you to fight
Your end Ill see tonight [sings Ill see your end tonight]
You think you can destroy [me]? youd better think again
I am eternal terror my quest will never end
Ill trap you in the pentagram
And seal your battered tomb
Your life is just another game
For satans night of doom
