Slayer - Criminally Insane (Lyrics on Screen Video 🎤🎶🎸🥁)

The intro on this one is real nice with the 16th notes on the ride and just a fat beat, kind of reminds me of 'When the Levee Breaks' in a way. 1:41 is my favorite lick. The first is tricky it makes me think it will go into a chorus but goes into another verse part. Also the way Tom says 'WAY' at 0:45 is kind of funny haha. The lyric scheme makes me think Tom is planning on killing someone or doing something bad to someone haha. The solo is nice and shreddy then goes back into the fat beat with a nice lick. The last verse makes me think of someone who has been marked 'criminally insane' and is waiting to have his revenge. Enjoy!

🎤 Lyrics Start 🎤

[Intro]

[Chorus]
Night will come and I will follow
For my victims, no tomorrow
Make it fast, your time of sorrow
On his trail, I'll make you follow

[Verse 1]
Quarters for the criminally insane
The sentence read for life I must remain
The path I chose has led me to my grave
To try again, I'd have no other way

[Verse 2]
Quarters for the criminally insane
Escape, for me, has fast become a game
Soon to be, I'll leave without a trace
Endangered species, end the human race

[Lead: King and Hanneman]

[Bridge]
Branded in pain, marked criminally insane
Locked away and kept restrained
Disapprobation, but what have I done
I have yet only just begun to take your fucking lives

[Chorus]
Night will come and I will follow
For my victims, no tomorrow
Make it fast, your time of sorrow
On his trail, I'll make you follow

Reign in Blood is the third studio album by American thrash metal band Slayer, released on October 7, 1986, by Def Jam Recordings.[1] The album was the band's first collaboration with producer Rick Rubin, whose input helped the band's sound evolve. The release date of the album was delayed because of concerns regarding the lyrical subject matter of the opening track "Angel of Death", which refers to Josef Mengele and describes acts such as human experimentation that he committed at the Auschwitz concentration camp.[2] The band's members stated that they did not condone Nazism and were merely interested in the subject.[3]

Reign in Blood was well received by both critics and fans, and was responsible for bringing Slayer to the attention of a mainstream metal audience. Today, it is often mentioned among the greatest heavy metal records ever. In their 2017 listing of the 100 Greatest Metal albums of all time, Rolling Stone magazine ranked "Reign in Blood" at #6.[4] Alongside Anthrax's Among the Living, Megadeth's Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?, and Metallica's Master of Puppets, Reign in Blood helped define the sound of the emerging US thrash metal scene in the mid-1980s, and has remained influential since. The album was Slayer's first to enter the US Billboard 200, peaking at number 94, and was certified Gold on November 20, 1992. In 2013, NME ranked it at number 287 in its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[5]

Following the positive reception Slayer's previous release Hell Awaits had received, the band's producer and manager Brian Slagel realized the band were in a position to hit the "big time" with their next album. Slagel negotiated with several record labels, among them Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons' Def Jam Recordings. However, Slagel was reluctant to have the band signed to what was at the time primarily a hip hop label. Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo was made aware of Rubin's interest, and he initiated contact with the producer. However, Slayer's remaining members were apprehensive of leaving Metal Blade Records, with whom they were already under contract.[6]

Lombardo contacted Columbia Records, which was Def Jam's distributor, and managed to get in touch with Rubin, who along with photographer Glen E. Friedman agreed to attend one of the band's concerts. Friedman had produced Suicidal Tendencies's self-titled debut album, in which Slayer vocalist Tom Araya made a guest appearance in the music video for the album's single "Institutionalized", pushing Suicidal Tendencies's vocalist Mike Muir. Around this time, Rubin asked Friedman if he knew Slayer.[6]

Guitarist Jeff Hanneman was surprised by Rubin's interest in the band, and was impressed by his work with the hip hop acts Run DMC and LL Cool J. During a visit by Slagel to a European music convention, Rubin spoke with the band directly, and persuaded them to sign with Def Jam.
