D.X. Ferris explores the creation of the most universally respected
metal album.Slayer's controversial "Reign in Blood" remains the
gold standard for extreme heavy metal: a seamless procession of ten
blindingly fast songs in just twenty-eight minutes, delivered in
furious bursts of instrumental precision, with lyrics so striking
that Tori Amos was moved to record a cover. Reign in Blood saw the
emerging underground standouts from Huntington Beach team with Rick
Rubin - 2007's Grammy-Award winner for producer of the year, then
known strictly for creating hip-hop albums with groups such as
Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys - to permanently fuse classic rock's
technical proficiency, hardcore punk's speed and metal's brute
power. Working in a much-maligned genre, guitarists Jeff Hanneman
and Kerry King emerged as the Lennon and McCartney of speed metal,
penning a collection of apocalyptic scenes comparable to the dark
work of novelists like Cormac McCarthy and Herman Melville.The
album came together though the efforts of a team that would go on
to be some of the biggest names in the current music business.
Issued on America's premier rap label at the pinnacle of the thrash
movement, Reign in Blood sparked a new genre called death metal and
continues to serve as a touchstone for metal musicians. The disc
marked Slayer's coronation as the kings of thrash and their ongoing
twenty-five year streak of vitality places them in the small
fraternity of rock's greatest groups. Through interviews with the
entire band, Rubin, engineer Andy Wallace, and a who's who of
headbangers from three decades, D.X. Ferris explores the creation
of the most universally respected metal album."33 1/3" is a series
of short books about a wide variety of albums, by artists ranging
from James Brown to the Beastie Boys. Launched in September 2003,
the series now contains over 50 titles and is acclaimed and loved
by fans, musicians and scholars alike.
