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.

Fictional Reality Lyrics
Slayer
(music and lyrics: king)
Crisis feeds the lunacy
All fear the new machine
Consumed democracy returns a socialist regime
Its laid to rest without a contest
All hail the new incompetence
Masking you see what to believe
A drone in the world of anarchy
Treachery, misery, violence, insanity
Scavengers closing in
Covering the truth again
Castrate society
Fictional reality
(lead: king)
Insecurity afraid of things you cannot see
Words become the image of the enemy
You cant dissect what was correct
Vengeance based on how things were said
Cant see your side conflicts with mine
Frustrations lead to complete demise
Treachery, misery, violence, insanity
Scavengers closing in
Covering the truth again
Every trial conspiracy
Compassion is the enemy
Paralyze, criticize
Breaking through the wall of lies
(lead: hanneman)
Suicidal hierarchy racing in reverse
Everything thats done today will be tomorrows curse
Screams in my head precede your death
Cant hold the rage when the truth is shed
Blind lead the bind line after line
In a world too shallow to defy
Treachery, misery, violence, insanity
Scavengers closing in
Covering the truth again
Castrate society
Fictional reality
(lead: king)
