25 years ago today Slayer released their third studio album. It was called Reign In Blood and it still crushes 90% of the heavy music that's out there.

The album was produced by the legendary Rick Rubin and originally released by Def Jam Recordings. Reign In Blood's release was delayed because of concerns regarding its graphic artwork and lyrical subject matter. The opening track, "Angel Of Death", which refers to Josef Mengele and describes acts such as human experimentation that Mengele committed at the Auschwitz concentration camp, provoked allegations of Nazism.
