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

The intro on this one is real nice, the little drum fill is a great way to start the song. The intro lick is one of my favorite from the entire album, pure thrash! 1:10 is also a very nice lick and is one of my favorites of the album. The lyric scheme is hard for me to interpret compared to others. Of course it's about an epidemic of some kind, the lyrics are quite advanced haha. 1:36 is a really nice part too letting the song breathe for a little while. This has to be in my top 3 for the album, very great thrash song. I also like how the song ends with a drum fill too haha. Enjoy!

🎤 Lyrics Start 🎤

[Verse 1]
Breeding fast in poverty
Infectious, driving, dormant seed
Inside your carcass start to mate
Left in charge to dominate

[Chorus 1]
Waiting to unfold
Raging uncontrolled
Adapt a potency
Death machine, infest my corpse to be

[Verse 2]
Unyielding kings of agony
Test your body chemistry
Pulmonary overthrow
Possession of your inner throne
Infections quickly override
Malicious, domineering strike
Floods your veins, commit slow death
Deteriorate your maker's met

[Chorus 2]
Perpetual demise
On a fast decline
Killing tendency
Epidemic, permanent disease

[Lead: King]

[Bridge]
Incapacitate, fall into your fate
Pain results in screams
Bleed internally
Years will pass before it can be cured

[Lead: Hanneman]

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]
