About this product
Product Information
Issued on America's premier rap label at the peak of the thrash metal movement, Slayer's controversial Reign in Blood remains the gold standard for extreme heavy metal, a seamless 29-minute procession of ten blindingly fast, apocalyptic songs. The first English book about Slayer explores the creation of the most universally respected metal album and its long road to the stores, through original interviews with the entire band, producer Rick Rubin, engineer Andy Wallace, cover artist Larry Carroll, and Def Jam insiders from Russell Simmons to M.C. Serch. From Tori Amos to Pantera's Phil Anselmo, dozens of fans and artists discuss the record's ongoing impact and Slayer's status in the small fraternity of rock's greatest groups.

Reviews
"A short, intense, meticulous history of Reign In Blood and really, the whole band... The result is an authorized, damn perfect look at this one album." -- Martin Popoff, editor in chief of Brave Words Bloody Knuckles, author of Judas Priest: Heavy Metal Painkillers and Black Sabbath: Doom Let Loose, Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 "Writer D.X. Ferris pulls off an admirable tightrope walk. Asboth a fan and a critic, Ferris manages to convey a sense of excitement aboutthe album even as he pulls the reader headfirst into the world of Slayer. Bytalking to band members, other musicians, friends and other people around theband at the time, hardcore fans..even respected studio engineer Andy Wallace...Ferrispulls together as complete a picture of the making of Reign in Blood as you'll likely ever read." -Trademark of quality blog, Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 " 'Reign in Blood' is notable for its brutality, but asthe defining manifesto of thrash metal, it is transcendent for its purity. To loverock & roll is to love subcultures, and D.X. Ferris has explained, instunning detail, how one subculture was defined and galvanized by that singlealbum, and why that definition will never need to be written again." - David Giffels, co-author of "Are We Not Men? We AreDevo!" and author of "All the Way Home: Building a Family in aFalling-down House", "I can tell you this- if you hold Slayer's Reign in Blood inyour holy trinity of album releases that would go with you to your metal desertisland, then this is definitely your new favorite book." --addictedtovinyl.com, "D.X. Ferris breaks it all down person-by-person and track-by-track to separate fact from fiction, retracing the origins, occasional pitfalls and eventual triumph that brought forth in his words, 'the greatest heavy metal album ever.'... The book untangles a number of assumptions related to the band that should surprise even longtime fans.... The book provides not only a good introduction to the band, but capably answers on all fronts regarding the album in question.... Ferris pens a clean and even story; flashes his bona fides outright and is passionate enough about the work to sustain that fervor through to the end. " -- Todd DePalma, The Left Hand Path, ... in writing one of the few 33 1/3 books on a metal album, Ferris knows he must argue persuasively for their inclusion. Toward that end, he conducted a raft of original interviews for the book (everyone from Slayer frontman Tom Araya to Tori Amos) to tell their story as clearly and as vividly as possible., "Declares Ferris, 'I wanted to present the story in a way that's compelling to both rabid Slayer fans and to NPR listeners who love pop music but have never lost a shoe in a mosh pit' -- and he largely succeeds." -- Dave Segal, OC Weekly, "Ferris interviewed everyone who's anyone so he could deliver the last word on Slayer's first metal masterpiece. Rock-solid rock joürnalism that deserves its umlauts." - Dan LeRoy, author of 33 1/3: Paul's Boutique and The Greatest Music Never Sold: Secrets of Legendary Lost Albums by David Bowie, Seal, Beastie Boys, Chicago, Mick Jagger, and More!, "Writer D.X. Ferris pulls off an admirable tightrope walk. Asboth a fan and a critic, Ferris manages to convey a sense of excitement aboutthe album even as he pulls the reader headfirst into the world of Slayer.

Trademark of quality blog, "Overall, 33 1/3: Reign in Blood will thrill those who'vecarved SLAYER into their skin (it's more common among fans than you'd think),as well as pique the interest of hard-rock aficionados curious about Slayer butwho've not taken the sanguinity plunge yet."--OC Weekly, "... in writing one of the few 33 1/3 books on a metal album, Ferris knows he must argue persuasively for their inclusion. Toward that end, he conducted a raft of original interviews for the book (everyone from Slayer frontman Tom Araya to Tori Amos) to tell their story as clearly and as vividly as possible." --Stephen M. Deusner, Pitchfork, "D.X. Ferris has written an academic and thought-provoking book while at the same time presenting it as a general reader. Ferris does not give in to the tendency of 'dumbing down' metal; instead, he puts forth a very well argued statement that Slayer's 'Reign In Blood' is a classic album and should be treated as such." -- Laura Kowalewski and Andrew Carpenter, Ballet Deviare, Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 & /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-phan∨ font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:¿ mso-fareast-language:¿ mso-bidi-language:¿}&" 'Reign in Blood' is notable for its brutality, but asthe defining manifesto of thrash metal, it is transcendent for its purity.
