1170 - Slayer Silent Scream 1988

"South of Heaven" was recorded in Los Angeles, California with "Reign in Blood" producer Rick Rubin. PopMatters reviewer Adrien Begrand observed that Rubin's production "shoves Lombardo's drumming right up front in the mix". Guitarist Jeff Hanneman has since said that "South of Heaven" was the only album the band members discussed before writing the music. Aware that they "couldn't top Reign in Blood," and that whatever they recorded would be "compared to that album," he believed they "had to slow down," something Slayer had never done on albums before, or since. In "Silent Scream" Lombardo is incredible at the drums, while the guitars are fast as usual, alternating fast solos too.
