<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSlayer\u2019s legacy is a strong one. Throughout their reign (see what I did there) as the undisputed kings of thrash metal, they influenced and inspired a whole generation of metal heads to pick up a (pointy) guitar or a pair of drumsticks. Unfortunately, that also means some of the bands that have inclusions on this pointless tribute album. There are (some very ropey) covers from bands such as the charmingly named Skull Fuckers Incorporated, Skrog, and Bloat Toad, and others you\u2019ve never heard of. It really is about as welcome as a dose of crabs. Awful production values and poor performances just make for a total mess of an album that absolutely no one needs to hear. That\u2019s not to say that some of the attempts here don\u2019t have some merit, Eulogy of Blood\u2019s version of Bloodline <\/em>is half decent, along with Skrog\u2019s attempt at a lesser-known Slayer track \u2013 Divine Intervention<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apart from that, it\u2019s all very forgettable. The least said about Slokill\u2019s murdering of the track Disorder<\/em> (which was nicked from the Exploited in the first place) the better\u2026 dreadful. If you\u2019re a Slayer fan like me, do yourself a big favour and avoid Forever Reigning <\/em>like the plague. Just go and listen to the genuine article, you really don\u2019t need this in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SSSLLLLLAAAAAAAAYYYYEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Author: Kenny ‘Don’t Fuck With Slayer’ Kendrick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Slayer\u2019s legacy is a strong one.
