Title: An OK Slayer Release
Review: This is a pretty decent Slayer release, it sort of bridged the gap between the old school (Reign in Blood, South of Heaven, Hell Awaits era) with what was to come, the more non-satanic Divine Interention, Diobolus in Musica, and God Hates Us All Albums.As a Satanist since 1981 when Venom's "Black Metal" was released, I found Seasons in the Abyss to be dissapointing in that Satan was only mentioned in "Born of Fire" and "Temptation", apprarently only at the insistence of Rick Rubin. I prefer the more satanic and evil earlier material Slayer has, such as Hell Awaits and Show no Mercy. From a heavy metal standpoint, however, this is a good introduction to what Slayer has to offer.
Is the review positive or negative?
