Hi! I'm making this poll about your favorite Slayer song so I can see which one everyone enjoys the most. I know that I left out so many good songs (Chemical Warfare, The Antichrist, Black Magic, Tormentor, Dead Skin Mask, Jesus Saves, Mandatory Suicide, Silent Scream, Born Of Fire, Spirit In Black, At Dawn They Sleep, Kill Again, Live Undead, Metal Storm/Face The Slayer, Behind The Crooked Cross, Altar Of Sacrifice, Postmortem, Necrophobic) but we have to make do with only 10 options. This really is a nearly impossible question for me. Slayer is tied for my favorite band with Opeth and Iron Maiden, but out of those three they very well could be my favorite. My favoite song out of those is South Of Heaven, because it is the song that introduced me to what Slayer was about. The evil riff is just plain awesome and the vocals, lyrics, leads, and drums are all top notch. It gets my vote. The runner-up would be Raining Blood or War Ensemble.

Hi. Dead Skin Mask or Black Magic. From the list it will probably be "Seasons in the Abyss", but I prefer the other two mentioned, so I voted for "other"

That is an awesome song, and definitely the best on "God Hates Us All". It's classic Slayer, no doubt about it!

I'm resurrecting this thread saying apart from Raining Blood, Hell Awaits, South of Heaven, Angel of Death, Mandatory Suicide etc, I was looking for underrated Slayer songs ever - couldn't able to see such discussion here or anywhere in the forum. If anyone can find such thread, you can let me know. For me, songs like Jihad, Serenity In Murder, Consfearacy, Catatonic are very underrated.

If possible, share your suggestions.

underrated Slayer songs

That is quite difficult I would say since there is basically no Slayer that has ever been underrated. I will give it a try and drop some songs. They will be from pre 1996 Slayer only because I have stopped caring about them thereafter. And since they are all from albums that have been immensely popular back at the time you can obviously argue that they are everything else but underrated -- so, maybe let's say, if at all, they are underrated in relative terms.
In chronological order:

Metal Storm/Face The Slayer
Tormentor
Crionics
Chemical Warfare
At Dawn They Sleep
Live Undead
Expendable Youth
Hallowed Point
Dittohead

underrated Slayer songs

Metal Storm/Face The Slayer
At Dawn They Sleep

I think Slayer fairly cover these songs live. It is mostly covered in setlists as well. It's far away from underrated.

Fair point -- As I said, it is hard to find underrated songs from such a popular band that has been active for a really long time.

Skeletons of Society, Spirit in Black, Haunting the Chapel, Ghosts of War are more egs here.

Lot of songs from DI can be added here. World Painted have some amazing tracks too.

When I was having a Slayer marathon over a weekend, I revisited to some amazing killer tracks that I thought though doesn't float on the surface.

having a Slayer marathon

From their first five albums (up to and including Seasons) I dont recall a single track that I would consider a filler, they are all great. They went downhill rapidly with DI, which I still consider a good album though, but there it started with the fillers.

Agreed.

God Hates was a brilliant comeback album. I don't know about others, I do enjoy it continually. From Christ to Relentless, yes fillers drains you, but all good albums nonetheless.
