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.

Hardening Of The Arteries Lyrics
Slayer
(lyrics hanneman; music hanneman)
Fear runs wild in the veins of the world
The hate turns the skies jet black
Death is assured in future plans
Why live if theres nothing there
Spectors of doom await the moment
The mallet is sure and precise
Cover the crypts of all mankind
With cloven hoove begone
(chorus)
Sadistic minds
Delay the death
Of twisted life
Malicious world
The crippled youth try in dismay
To sabotage the carcass earth
All new life must perish below
Existence now is futile
Decrepit breath, vile in its stench
A world in decay
Transgressor is as one
(chorus)
(lead - king, hanneman)
Convulsions take the world in hand
Paralysis destroys
Nobodys out there to save us
Brutal seizure now we die
