thrash metal band, founded in Huntington Park, California (not Huntington Beach, as has often been reported), in 1982[1] by Tom Araya (bass and vocals), Kerry King (guitars), Jeff Hanneman (guitars) and Dave Lombardo (drums). Lombardo has been in and out of the group three times, but the other members have been permanent members. Hanneman and King are the group's main songwriters.Slayer (along with Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth) is often credited with creating American thrash metal by speeding up the sound of NWOBHM bands like Iron Maiden. Slayer also drew from hardcore punk influences such as Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, Black Flag and The Misfits. Borrowing some of that music's emphasis on extremely quick tempos in many of their songs. The riff style and thematics of the NWOBHM band Venom is the main metal influence in Slayer's aesthetic, especially in their early career.

Slayer found moderate commercial success and are known for their devoted cult following. Their graphic album art and lyrics, which touch on subjects like serial killers, the Holocaust and warfare, have generated strong criticism.

Though Araya has somewhat never used the "death grunt" vocal style (minor incorporations of the grunt on Hell Awaits being the most notable exception) commonly associated with death metal, Slayer's music, especially the albums Hell Awaits (1985) and Reign in Blood (1986) is generally regarded as a major influence on death metal. However, due to the higher pitched vocals (influenced by bands such as Iron Maiden and Mercyful Fate) in their songs (compared to the lower death metal range), their influence on black metal must also be noted. Several premier black metal acts such as Emperor[2] and Mayhem[3] cite Slayer as an influence.
