Afterstaking out new territory with the underrated South of Heaven,Slayer brought back some of the pounding speed of Reign in Bloodfor their third major-label album, Seasons in the Abyss.Essentially, Seasons fuses its two predecessors, periodicallykicking up the mid-tempo grooves of South of Heaven with manicbursts of aggression. “War Ensemble” and the title track eachrepresented opposite sides of the coin, and they both earned Slayertheir heaviest MTV airplay to date. In fact, Seasons in the Abyssis probably their most accessible album, displaying the full rangeof their abilities all in one place, with sharp, clean production.Since the band is refining rather than progressing orexperimenting, Seasons doesn’t have quite the freshness of itspredecessors, but aside from that drawback, it’s strong almost allthe way from top to bottom (with perhaps one or two exceptions).Lyrically, the band rarely turns to demonic visions of theafterlife anymore, preferring instead to find tangible horror inreal life — war, murder, human weakness. There’s even full-fledgedsocial criticism, which should convince any doubters that Slayeraren’t trying to promote the subjects they sing about. LikeMetallica’s Master of Puppets or Megadeth’s Peace Sells…but Who’sBuying, Seasons in the Abyss paints Reagan-era America as acesspool of corruption and cruelty, and the music is as devilishlyeffective as ever.
