Top 10 Best Songs On Slayer's South of Heaven

The title track's intro shows Slayer's slower, yet equally menacing side. The lyrics touch on post-apocalyptic themes.

A war song that became a fan favorite.

A very dark song, you can hear the evil seeping through the riffs. There's a melancholy that's eerie, capturing the sound of brutal despair. It's the song that introduced me to metal. Not their heaviest, but one of their most harrowing.

Slow drumming and terrifying riffs complete the album in this outro.

This should be higher. A very evil and sinister-sounding song.

South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss are just as good as Reign in Blood, and this song is among their greatest.

Incredible drumming and fast riffs pick up right after South of Heaven. The lyrics address abortion.

A song about zombies with slow beats but fast double bass. It also features Tom's last scream ever.

I can't get over how great that riff at the start is.

The most epic transition from fast to slow ever. The intense first two minutes build up to a final, huge breakdown at the end. Epic!

Another war-themed song with faster beats.

A song about Nazis with awesome riffs.

Best song on the album. Easily one of Slayer's all-time top 10 songs.

A critique of religion with great lyrics.

Awesome Judas Priest cover. It deviates from the original just enough to make it sound like Slayer.
