    Episode 71: The Rulers Are Back... A Fresh Look at Rick Rubin and Reign in Blood
    Apr 14 2025

    Todays's topics include a detailed look at Rick Rubin, Slayer's enigmatic longtime producer, executive producer, label boss, and benefactor. Stay tuned, and you'll learn more about how the band made Reign in Blood... what fans think about it... what Jeff said about the, ahem, German content in "Angel of Death"... an update on what happened to the long-lost album cover artwork... and more.

    The old version of the Reign In Blood chapter is the most popular episode after the Jeff Hanneman tributes. Now that chapter is bigger and better. And badder. And deffer. This week, you hear the additions to the chapter in the new version of the unofficial, exhaustively researched band biography "SLAYER 66 2/3: A METAL BAND BIOGRAPHY" (REBORN & RE-REMASTERED 4TH EDITION).

    Click below to listen to Talkin' Slayer, Episode 15, the pre-update rundown of Reign in Blood:

    If this sounds boring, and you’re jonesin' for your weekly fix of Slaytanic history, worry not. Check THIS out:

This one has the best viewpoint, but it has a lot of jumpy edits, with songs cut short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDVVLghGWY8 Another single video of the entire show.

Normally, host D.X. Ferris reads you chapters about Slayer's history, from his second book about the band, "Slayer 66 & 2/3: A Metal Band Biography." But not this week. Because sometimes we have Slayer news. Free listeners get every other episode, mostly. Patreon supporters get every single episode, including bonus content and shows... for less than $1 an episode.
